Chris Kreider hit on Matt Murray

[BHD]

Pens fan and I don't think it was bad. You never want to see the goalie take contact, but this happens every game.

 

[TMLife*]

Penalty. Didn’t do enough to avoid contact, and made contact inside the blue paint.

 

[uncleben]

i hate the new fad of calling everything diving/embellishent, but that was certainly divind/embellishment

 

[jacks*]

2 minute's was the right call.

 

[dahrougem2]

Well, he didn't exactly try to avoid Murray so the call is warranted

 

[Caeldan]

Murray definitely deserved two minutes for embellishment on that one.
That's a pretty bog standard 'interference' though.
Ducks even managed a goal out of one that was 10x worse against the Sharks a couple weeks back.

 

[Treb]

To me it looks like Murray falls pretty hard on his right hip.

That was a Bishop-like dive. Pretty obvious too.

 

[CanadienShark]

I came in here all ready to tear Kreider apart. Believe me, I want to. Kreider may be my 2nd least favourite player. That play does not warrant such a response from me though. It's about as innocuous as can be. He was pushed, but didn't make significant effort to avoid the goalie. No real significant contact was made. Life goes on. Murray sure went down "hard" well after the "hit" though.

I hate when people say goalies dive when stuff like this happens.

They aren't expecting to be bumped into at all, they're focused on the play. When you bump into someone who's on skates and isn't expecting it, there's a very good chance they're going to fall over.

 

[nbwingsfan]

Should have been a penalty for both. Murray needs to learn how to sell his falls better.

 

[Ugene Magic]

Don't mind the interference call...

But Murray should have been given an embellishment penalty.

For what? going down and making a save?

I don't think there was a penalty there either.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Well deserved. Chris Kreider is known to interfere with goalies. Not only does he have no remorse, he apparently always "trips and looses an edge" when going hard into the net and injuries goalies.

Yeah and it's hilarious how it's supppsedly Murray who sold it. He goes down to stack the pads and makes a save anyway.

 

[Irishguy42]

Dive dive dive.

Awooooooooooooooga. Awoooooooooooooooooga.

Reputation call at it's finest. I hate those calls no matter who it's for.

 

[DJN21]

Not a huge kreider fan and his history speaks for itself but this call was a joke as was Murray's dive.

 

[Crosbyfan]

Murray should have stayed on his feet and let the puck in the net there

It is hockey. That was a dive.

Sorry I re-watched and it actually wasn't as clear as I though

 

[RaindanceMaggie]

Sure Murray looked like he flopped a bit but Kreider made zero attempt to get out of the way

 

[Brainiac]

Kind of a soft penalty, but that's what can happen when you get a rep for running goalies.

Seconded.

So the fact that he fell over after a significant delay from the contact didn't strike you as odd?

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Matt Murray with the Bishop dive.

 

[josra33]

Because goalies are turning into Futbol players.

 

[CloutierForVezina]

I'm pretty sure I'm watching a different clip than everyone else, because there's no possible way that's embellishment.

Murray is knocked off balance and is off his angle so he can't cleanly drop to the butterfly, so he recovers into a two pad stack and makes the save. How the hell is that even close to embellishment? Dude was focused on the puck the entire time and recovered into the quickest position for making the save.

Bingo.

 

[Empoleon8771]

It was a 2 minute penalty, why is this a thread? It was a nothing play.

That's what I've been trying to figure out. What's the significance of this play?
