Pre-Game Talk: Vegas baby, comes to Ottawa, Saturday afternoon 2:00pm on TSN

[Baby Ryan]

Lol what the flying ****.

 

[Tundraman]

Pageau gooning it up

 

[swiftwin]

What the actual f***? Sbisa thew his gloves off like2 full seconds before Pageau. Are these refs mentally Pejorative Slured?

 

[Korpse]

That is an absolute horse**** call

It's the right call. The problem is they only call it half the time, a quarter of the time its 5 for fighting and 2 for roughing and the other quarter its just 5 for fighting.

 

[SensBrawler]

Pageau getting the extra penalty for that? I don't think he even wanted to fight. He didn't drop the gloves first.

 

[2XPRO31]

It's the right call. The problem is they only call it half the time, a quarter of the time its 5 for fighting and 2 for roughing and the other quarter its just 5 for fighting.

No it isn't they were both willing combatants

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

wow....so close!

 

[ToastrStutzle]

Why did Homophobic Sluroof shoot for the far corner there? the near side was WIDE open

 

[swiftwin]

It's the right call. The problem is they only call it half the time, a quarter of the time its 5 for fighting and 2 for roughing and the other quarter its just 5 for fighting.

It's not. The Vegas player instigated the fight. He's the one who threw his gloves off first. Pageau was surprised and felt obligated to throw his off.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Nice play by Burrows

 

[Sun God Nika]

Vegas' 4th string goalie is gonna shut us out isn't he?

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

It's not. The Vegas player instigated the fight. He's the one who threw his gloves off first. Pageau was surprised and felt obligated to throw his off.

What was Pageau doing in his face.. If I come up to you and shove you and you punch me in the face .. and we fight who instigated the fight

 

[SensFactor]

Only first period...
Breath my friend

 

[Tundraman]

Bad positioning on the 2 on 1 by Burrows. He took away any good pass back options . Ran out of any decent chance so Turris only had a weak shot left

 

[Korpse]

No it isn't they were both willing combatants

This is a cause of obvious retribution for a prior incident, you know the hit that happened 5 seconds before. This was an easy call.

 

[Korpse]

They gave them roughing minors? Haha. Classic NHL refs, dancing around the rule book. If the rule is too harsh where you aren't comfortable taking a player out of the game for 17 minutes, maybe change it.

 

[Tundraman]

Looks like Lagace will get a shutout today.

 

[swiftwin]

Pageau shoved him, Sbisa threw his gloves off as Pageau was backing off, Pageau looked surprised and felt obligated to throw his off too.

Just because Sbisa had a big hit 5 seconds earlier doesn't mean Pageau instigated it.

 

[2XPRO31]

This is a cause of obvious retribution for a prior incident, you know the hit that happened 5 seconds before. This was an easy call.

Instigator should be when someone starts waling on someone right after the hit, not when they mutually drop the gloves.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Giving up that first goal was rough.

Vegas playing with the lead very well. Lets hope they have one of our patented "we are aweso..... oh crap" moments while in our building.

 

[Korpse]

Instigator should be when someone starts waling on someone right after the hit, not when they mutually drop the gloves.

Maybe but its not limited to that as the rule is written today.

 

[SensBrawler]

It's still frustrating how inconsistent the refs are though.

There's been so many times where Boro has thrown a clean hit and had to fight, yet the other team doesn't get a penalty because Boro doesn't hesitate to drop the gloves.

 

[ToastrStutzle]

They look half asleep out there.

Hope this isn't the start of the saturday afternoon performances from a few years ago.

 

[BondraTime]

These line combo's/changes are nauseating

I agree, I'm equally as frustrated with the way the rule is called.
