Around the League 2018-19 - Part VI

[Afterburner]

Hahah this is freaking awesome

 

[Afterburner]

WE WANT 10!!

 

[BigZ65]

Fleury in full meltdown

 

[Afterburner]

McFleury gonna cry

 

[Board Bard]

Go for 4.

Edit: And they did! Go for 5, go for 5!

 

[electroflare]

Talk about a total collapse

 

[BigZ65]

Fleury wasn’t even in front of the net there. So far off his post.

I would hate to be Cody Eakins if the Knights lose this series

 

[LucianoBorsato]

Wow I turn the channel after its 2-0, turn back to see the Sharks go ahead!

SEND THESE CHUMPS PACKING

It's been a wild five minutes

 

[bustamente]

4 goals on a 5 minute major, don't think I have ever seen that

 

[Afterburner]

Man Pavelski has taken a beating in this series

 

[bustamente]

Still think the Knights will get a greasy PP

 

[None]

On replay they could've even called interference on Stastny on top of the crosschecking major.

 

[LucianoBorsato]

Just saw the replay, Cody Eakin f***ed up big time.

Hope Pavelski is OK, didn't look good the way he left the ice

 

[WPGChief]

No way that was a major worthy penalty, for the record. Minor for sure, but major was really, really questionable.

Now you see why referees don’t call penalties unless it’s to even up.

 

[None]

Fleury swimming on every shot now.

Beautiful Vegas collapse. Hope Sharks can hold on even though EK9 is on that team.

The play that injured Pavelski was on Stastny to a large extent.

 

[chaos4]

A great night, no more Leafs or Knights, wonderful

 

[LucianoBorsato]

Orders from Gary: give Vegas a power play, stat!

It’s s crosscheck to the face plus whatever Stastny does. It’s basically an automatic suspension, even in playoffs, and should be a major.

All of sudden Jones makes a save

It's only a major because Stastny threw him to the ice. What Stastny did was far more dangerous than the crosscheck from Eakins.

The crosscheck itself was at collar level, Stastny interferes with Pavelski which doesn't let him brace himself.
The NHL is actually pretty transparent about how they judge the severity of penalties that are at the discretion of the referees. To give a major the player on the receiving end basically needs to be injured, Pavelski getting injured was more a result of Stastny's interference, but it was initiated by Eakins' crosscheck.

It's just so easy to hate the Knights
