Make my day.
I'm still confused where people see a minor penalty. He finishes his check moments after Hyman dumps the puck. What penalty could be called here? 2 minutes for pushing?

true. Most of turning was from Hyman playing the puck, it makes it look like McAvoy pulls back harder when really it is Hyman's torso rotation.

I mean, it would've been nice if the refs at least got their head out of their ass for the really ignorant things.




A sneaky, dirty play designed to surreptitiously injure an opposing player... yep Mcavoy is a real Bruin now.



Well, at least he didn't get Pacioretty-d. With Boston you never know.

Oh come on. I dont think its anymore than a penalty and a warning, but you can clearly see McAvoys skate "stutter" which happens due to the contact of the skate on Hyman. Just because the leg doesnt maintain the contact when Hyman's skates go flying up doesnt mean he didnt use his foot.

Clear penalty. If Hyman was injured on the play i guarantee you it wouldve been looked at by the DoPS. Since there was no injury, they'll see it as a missed penalty call.

If you want to say that the arm caused Hyman to fall, fine. However it was at least an attempted slewfoot and I believe he made contact with his skate.

Once again, I think its nothing more rhan a penalty. However the blatant "theres nothing to see here" posts are ridiculous.
What play are you even looking at? You must be watching games in an alternate universe.

There was nothing dirty. It wasn't even worthy of a 2 minute penalty.
Your kidding right? Did you even watch the play?

Take a second look at it, of course it was dirty. Any neutral judge can see that.

No I didn't watch a gif that was posted right on the front page :rolleyes:

Go ahead and tell me what about it was dirty. But before you do, I'd like to know who the "neutral judge" you're referring to is. Its definitely not you because you're a Leafs fan.

Definitely a slew foot.

Foot/leg behind opposing player's leg, applying forward pressure: check
Arm in front of opposing player's chest, applying backwards pressure to rotate upper body over fulcrum of leg: check.

Textbook slew foot (though McAvoy didn't apply a lot of pressure with his leg, he still kicks it forwards).

That's not even a slewfoot..

That’s a textbook slewfoot. Kicking motion toward the back of the opponent’s skate and an overhand motion with the arm to push him backward.

Whether McAvoy meant to do it or not, you’ll rarely see a clearer case where all the elements of a slewfoot are so easy to identify. If he doesn’t get discipline for it, how does the league suspend anyone else for slewfoots in the future?

Only two threads this morning calling for Boston suspensions? For shame Toronto! I'm sure Backes or Chara did something.

Now I finally get the use of the word “snowflake”.

There are many posts in this thread that are singularly unique. However they represent a desire for a new threshold to contact that is extraordinarily delicate.

1) that wasn’t a slewfoot, 2) this is playoff hockey, 3) for non contact gentlemanly behavior on ice may I suggest men’s figure skating - some of you will just love it.

Lol the amount of times I've seen a clear head shot and people say "keep your head up" or "clean hit" has given me zero hope for most people on this site.

It's funny because most Leaf fans are just pissed it wasn't at least a 2 minute minor. Hyman could have gotten seriously hurt on the play, and it was a clear as day slew foot.

I have no desire to see him suspended, but if they don't penalize or fine him they're setting a pretty poor precedent going forward.
