Derek Ryan spears Nils Hoglander in the nuts, how is this not a 5 minute major penalty for attempt to injure?

[Dessloch]

Just noted that if stuff like this can be done with little or no penalty/punishment why not just go berserk?

Surely this is a textbook 5 minute major + game misconduct.

Corey Perry?

And thats a slash, not a spear.

 

[MessierII]

That’s Derek Ryan

Show the clip before they both got penalties

Non issue

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Good hit and run play

Non issue

When has spears in the nuts become a non issue?

The play before is irrelevant when it comes to the penalty for Ryan. Its a 5 on Ryan and a 2 on Hoglander.

Any other call is a mockery of the game and the actual rules the refs are supposed to rule by!

 

[Tobias Kahun]

What clip? When has spears in the nuts become a non issue?

The crosscheck to his ribs.

Theres a reason they both got penalties.

We are now at the low point where we are comparing soft pushes in the chest with spears to the nuts?

Noted that every time someone lightly punishes someone in the the chest you can retaliate with a nut check, why not just throw the rule book out the game when we are at it?

Hoglander rubbed him out with a cross check, Ryan responded with a Bangkok. Both got penalties. Kelly Sutherland is an incompetent asshat who blows a great many calls, but I don’t think he and his associates FUBAR’d this one.

Rubbed him out with a cross check?

The play Höglander did is a part of hockey, body checking, cross checking all happens in the game and this one was even very soft in comparison to what goes on all the time.

Spears to the nuts of people does not happen within the game, its a cheap shot. There are literally no valid excuse why it was not a 5 + major game misconduct.

Some of the people in this thread need to read the rules again!

Wow loved that game!

Textbook spear using the blade as a spear in the groin, not that it matters. If you slash someone in the nuts on purpose that is a 5 minute game misconduct as well!

Hopefully they forget the rule book when some one destroys McDavid, perhaps thats the only way to make sure people care about cheap shots!

 

[CascadiaPuck]

Don’t like that at all. Feels like it specifically should be suspendable. Doubt me if you want but if Hogs was the spearer, I’d feel the same. At least worthy of a call from the league. Absolutely no ambiguity on that one.

They called a 2 on Hoglander for interference and 2 for slashing on Ryan. Obviously there is a huge difference between pushing someone softly in the boards and nut checking someone from behind! Should have been 5 on Ryan and 2 on Höglander. The refs dropped the ball on that big time!

It should be such an easy call to make that I have to believe the refs made the wrong call on purpose!

Next time McDavid pushes someone it should be a free 5 minute infraction for a Canucks player to commit as revenge on McDavid and only get 2 minutes.

Show one example where this has ever been a 5 minute penalty

Or better yet show the rule book that says this

Sack taps feel good. I don't know what Höglander's problem is

The canucks are already doing that.

Spearing​

Spearing shall mean stabbing an opponent with the point of the stick blade, whether contact is made or not.
Double-minor Penalty - A double-minor penalty will be imposed on a player who spears an opponent and does not make contact.
Major Penalty - A major penalty shall be imposed on a player who spears an opponent.

Thats the rules, just up to the refs to enforce them properly!

"Stabbing"

Thanks for providing the evidence that this was a slash.

No, Ryan moves his upwards into the groin of Hoglander. He would not have gotten the hit on the nuts without moving the blade of the stick upwards into the private area of Hoglander. That is not a slash! If thats not spearing with the blade then spearing with the blade does not exist and its in the rules, so it does exist!

Nevertheless if you on purpose go after someones nuts from behind in a cowardly manner then its a textbook 5 minute major, could be seen as attempt to injure and put a game misconduct on top of that!

Do you not understand what a stabbing motion is?

You're just describing a slash.

Since it's the 54th anniversary of Derek Sanderson's pass to set up Number 4's iconic goal.

The Turk!---beautiful temperament of that guy. Told a guy to meet him in the parking lot one time.

It's hockey baby!!

If I had a knife and put in under your ass, and then quickly lifted the knife up with force in your ass, would you call it a stab or slash?
