WCQF: (2) Anaheim Ducks vs (3) San Jose Sharks | Sharks Leads Series 3-0

I missed the 1st period. But if you're talking about the hit near the end of the game that was because it wasn't.

It was a dumb interference call taken at the worst time possible. It was shoulder to shoulder upon replay.

Don't care if he hit him in the shoulder. You can't have guys come fly in and hit guys like that who are engaged in puck battles along the wall. It would be an absolute blood bath on ice if that was a legal play.

Guys in this league could make similar plays in every shift in every game this season, but nobody is stupid enough. Except Perry. It's a code thing. You'd have star players getting run left right and center in the corners if these plays were allowed.

I am still questioning the "eligible to be checked" comment. If he was not by rule the puck carrier (last player to have touched the puck), he wasn't eligible to be checked so that hit would have been interference.

That’s something I can understand I was more so responding to the poster who said Karlsson was eligible to be hit but it was still illegal which makes no sense

He got a penalty. The whole purpose of penalties is to curb such behavior. It was a dumb hit and he got punished for it, and the team did as well as it was 2 minutes they couldn't try to attack properly.

 

[Alwalys]

Bottom line is you make that hit there in that situation when you are clearly frustrated, you are asking to have a penalty called on you.

Agreed. Never said he should be suspended or be subject to any supplemental discipline.

 

[McSkittlez]

Perry's hit looked horrible in real time. Dumb hit to take though when your team was down a goal.

 

[PattyLafontaine]

Yes dumb but what makes it illegal

Charging. You can’t take runs like that in open ice.

 

[Kale Hulls]

I don't think Bieksa is going to fill in the lineup again.

 

[Kariya 9]

It was clearly a penalty. Perry may have cost us big for doing it.

 

[BaileyMacTavish]

I don't think Bieksa is going to fill in the lineup again.

For Anaheim's sake, he needs off the ice. He's bad.

For our sake, more Juice the better

 

[Armourboy]

I don't think Bieksa is going to fill in the lineup again.

Haven't Ducks fans been saying that for most of the season? lol

Randy keeps penciling him in for no reason

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

I don't think Bieksa is going to fill in the lineup again.

I was wondering how he was holding up.

Not well I gather.

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

Randy is an old school hockey guy.

 

[HanSolo]

I don't think Bieksa is going to fill in the lineup again.

Hahahaha come on mate.

Bieksa comes in for Welinski after doing KB's job better than him, and after Bieksa missed a significant portion of the season. The Ducks won games without Bieksa and Welinski was a fine replacement who should've stayed in. Every indication was he shouldn't have fixed what wasn't broken. It wasn't Welinski's fault that Anaheim lost game 1 and yet, the minute Bieksa was ready to go, he came in.

Bieksa will stay so long as he's healthy cause "muh veteran presence and grit"

Thankfully Bieksa's time in Anaheim is almost over but I really hope Carlyle follows him on the way out. He's an idiot.

 

[Kale Hulls]

Here is the Perry hit if you missed it:

You gotta love the way the helmets always go flying off on contact now.

The sagged chinstrap effect...

 

[pappaf2]

What a dumb hit by Perry. Seriously...

 

[Kale Hulls]

The league really messed up with the Doughty suspension. I think with that precedent this will probably get a look. I don't think this should be a suspension btw, just a penalty.

 

[Alwalys]

all he had to do was get in there and muscle karlsson off and it would have been fine. but that impact from that angle is pretty much an automatic call.

 

[AaronDellForPrez]

Despite the series score, this one is pretty tight. Hope Sharks are ready for game 3

Sharks score 3, ducks score 1, sharks score 3, ducks score 1

Not sure about pretty tight, but whatever.

Doubt it gets a look tbh.

Tonight's game came down to the wire. Not taking them lightly til we win

Pretty much agree. No real reason to make that hit even if it may not be an illegal one. I don't see him suspended, about the only reason I think they could is because while it wasn't from the back the player didn't have much of a chance to protect himself. Still don't think they will though.

 

[duxfan1101]

Suspend him, see if we care
