6/21/21 - 8:00PM EDT - New York Islanders vs Tampa Bay [SF GAME 5]

[Satan'sIsland81]

How was that any different than the cross check to Nelson minutes earlier. The only difference the Islander didnt drop like he got hit by a mack truck. If you touch those f***ing p***yes wearing a Tampa jersey they flip and dive like Mike Tyson hit them. And the refs fall for it every time.

 

[Sysreq]

I heard the same. Send Barzal to the showers early to keep a lid on revenge-seeking, and no suspension would be my call.

Feels about right. Think its definitely a major, but I don't see any real injury here. DoPS probably gonna hit him with a fine, if anything.

 

[The National]

Pretty stupid from Barzal but Rutta diving to the ice caused the major.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Star player treatment with no priors, so he probably won't get a suspension, especially if they're assessing a major here. Still beyond dumb when you're down 6-0. I get that you're pissed off but holy hell that's the polar opposite of the game you played the entire year.

Just last round Barzal crosschecked an inbound Lazar in the face.

 

[bov]

It's a 6-0 game, no problem with a 5 minute major there. Not suspension worthy, but reckless to say the least. If you give him 2, it just opens him up to retribution later.

Barzal is lucky to get tossed, because he sure as hell wasn't going to stand up for himself when the Bolts come calling. Smart by the officials.

 

[OurlordAndSaviorKuch]

5min Major probably not going to get suspended now but Someone needs to teach him a lesson for being a little bitch.

 

[dig1]

That is a penalty but give me a break.

A Guy can take a 95mph slap shot directly to the face and skate off by himself but have a stick ride up and graze your face… better lay on the ice like you’re dying.

he sure milked it...

 

[JTToilinginToronto]

not as good as perry does it tho

Lol keep dreaming

He'll be playing Wednesday

 

[Gravity]

Reffing in this series is 10x times better than Mtl-Vegas. Seems actually competent.

 

[Vasilevskiy]

I didn't feel that was a major as a Bolts fan, maybe because he stalked him for a while?
Seen worse just get 2 minutes. dunno.

 

[The Macho King]

That misconduct will replace a suspension

He'll get a fine

Misconduct in a blowout isn't going to get him a lot of credit with DoPS.

 

[Kurtz]

Looks like the stick possibly got him in the temple.

 

[Gurglesons]

Isles don’t take penalties / are the highest scoring team in the playoff narratives dying a hard death tonight.

 

[T REX]

Lol keep dreaming

He'll be playing Wednesday

Great..he'll be there for the handshake

 

[SI90]

This might end 10-0

genius by Trotz. Let the bolts score all their goals tonight.

 

[BlueOil]

Lol keep dreaming

He'll be playing Wednesday

good, he should be there for handshakes

What's the difference between a cross check to the chest and a cross check to the face?

Someone help this fella out because I'm not capable of it.

 

[SCP Guy]

Did the stick hit his chin? Looked like it was a glove punch to the helmet?

 

[OurlordAndSaviorKuch]

Nah it was f***ing awful first three games or so. The second game was a flaming disaster.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

5min Major probably not going to get suspended now but Someone needs to teach him a lesson for being a little bitch.

Prob not in lightnings best interest to try and pay him back…. Just try and win series and move on

 

[BHD]

"If you're gonna have your meatheads run around, we're gonna score on you."

I agree with Bieksa.

 

[Rygu]

Rutta sold that like the Italian national soccer team would have.

I bet they would be proud if they were watching this game.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

If the Isles are going to goon it up, play the 4th line for the whole 3rd period.

 

[Kimota]

Amazing how many tough guys here think a cross check to the face wouldn't hurt.

I got sticks to the faces. That always depends on how hard it is, how it's applied, etc...

In this case I don't know how hard it was but he seemed to decide to fall way after

 

[Shaman464]

Pretty stupid from Barzal but Rutta diving to the ice caused the major.

Take one to the chops, even if its not in one of the magic spots that makes your lights go out for a moment, it can definitely turn your knees to jelly.

 

[DFC]

TB has cheated better than ever before.
