WCQF Game 2: San Jose Sharks (3) @ Anaheim Ducks (2) 7:30 PM PT | SN360, TVAS, NBCSN, PRIME, NBCSCA

[Captain Bowie]

Can anyone explain how that should have been a penalty?

It looked nasty in real time, can't blame the refs too much. They don't have the benefit of multiple angle replay like we do.

 

[Il Stugotz]

Can anyone explain how that should have been a penalty?

Checked a player that doesn’t have possession of the puck, so interference

 

[AaronDellForPrez]

Again, look at the drew doughty hit. He hit the shoulder, from the side, and the guy had the puck, and no penalty was called. But the impact affected the head, so he was suspended. This one even had the penalty called, though the hit was nearly identical. No one in LA thought Doughty had any chance of being suspended. said all the same things. Yet he was suspended, because the league needs to show it is cracking down on things like that.

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

Two minutes was perfectly fair

 

[bambamcam4ever]

That was a dirty hit by Perry no matter what the DoPS does. Absolutely suspension worthy.

No clue what they will do though.

It was a very dirty hit.

It was also completely legal. You can't be suspended for a legal play.

Can I ask for what exactly?

 

[Kale Hulls]

Sorry just saw it again, didn't look as bad as it did when I first saw it. I'm watching on a phone and it looked like an easy suspension at first.

 

[Tifosi]

Shouldn't even be a penalty, clean as f***.

 

[bambamcam4ever]

I agree, but people are still saying a penalty was the right call.

 

[Nick1219]

Definitely a penalty. You simply can't have guys taking runs at unsuspecting players while they're engaged in a battle along the boards. Don't think he got him clean in the head though. That's not a suspension.

Interference? Meh...

I'd be fine with just calling it Roughing.

 

[mouser]

Unless there's some egregious video clip coming up take it to the game thread.

 

[hockeyisgud]

Perry didn´t Perry

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

pretty exciting eh

 

[Avs44]

I don’t at all. Just a stupid decision.

Karlsson was actively poking for the puck on the boards, he'd just touched it a second before. He didn't have any possession, but I understand why Perry thought he could hit him. From what I could tell the hit itself didn't make primary head contact or target the head - the helmet popping off made it look much worse than it was. It was stupid because it was so unnecessary, but I don't think it was dirty, and I understand why Perry didn't think it was interference

 

[bambamcam4ever]

That's not the rule. Karlsson was in reach of the loose puck and therefore eligible to be hit.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

You can't be serious right now, if so, go see an eye doctor.

 

[Get North]

Montour has been Anaheim's best defenceman. He is a beast and pushes the play forward.

 

[goodluckchuck]

Ducks are the Capitals of the West.

Always choking and always losing games at home

a team with Kesler will never win anything.

 

[CROCODILE SEATS]

Perry is an idiot

 

[Il Stugotz]

That's not the rule. Karlsson was in reach of the loose puck and therefore eligible to be hit.

Lol, okay.

 

[hockeyisgud]

I wanted the Ducks to win this series, they always seem to get up to interesting shenanigans and rustle some jimmies in the playoffs. Hope they can come back.

 

[Frosty415]

Perry is an idiot

He really killed their momentum with that dumb play.


Ducks were all over the sharks

 

[Nick1219]

You simply cannot have players engaged in a puck battle along the wall and have guys fly in and level them. It's more of a code thing than anything. You never see those happen in games despite the fact there's opportunities to make those hits every single shift. It would be absolute chaos and you'd have injuries all over the place if that was an acceptable play.

Call it charging or even just a generic roughing penalty.

 

[TheBluePenguin]

I hate Perry as much as the next guy but I'm not sure that's even a penalty

 

[8inblack]

4 out of the last 5 years the Ducks have lost the first 2 at home to go down 0-2. Kings 14 Nashville 16 Edmonton 17 San Jose 18. wtf is wrong with this core.
