ECQF: (2) Pittsburgh Penguins vs. (3) Philadelphia Flyers | Pittsburgh Leads Series 3-2

Because this slash made a player lose control of the puck

Which is precisely why you slash a stick and why it has never been a penalty before the last few seasons.

Swype in Samsung works fine for me. Better than rotten Apple.

Yes better than but not perfect. If I let half of the stuff I swype it would look like a train wreck. Just like the Flyers

There are two cases that have always been called a slash -- breaking a player's stick, and knocking the stick out of a player's hands. They're also usually pretty consistent in recognizing that an upward motion is a stick lift while a downward one is a slash.

Good night. Oh, this time you had no typos.

Breaking always has been, but knocking it out of someone's hands hasn't, as far as I can remember. I think that's cropped up as a call mostly in the past 5 years.

Slashing a stick out of someones hand has always been a penalty, if it causes a loss in puck control. Which is the case here

Disappointing game ,wonder if this series will be ass kicking swapping

 

[Benneguin]

Gotta shoot it.

 

[GordieHowsUrBreath]

philly... SHHHHHHH

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

Gotta shoot it.

Murray has been just too good.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

No, I'm just wondering why one innocuous slash to the stick is called when several to the hands/shins/sides are not.

Because at the start of the season for a good solid 2 weeks, every one of those were called, then it became infrequent and sporadic, then it became momentum crushing with chintzy calls that are weak as hell to a form of that we see today.

It's been an 82 game progression of ineptitude that they've built up. Hard to miss.

Except literally at the start of the season, they made it a point of saying it was.

Sid accidentally whacked Methot on the hand, enough people whined for it to become a thing they look for.

Don't whine about trivial stuff like that and maybe the league won't make it a thing.

Yeah, he hasn't been really good since the '12 series vs. the Penguins where we know defense was optional. He got shutdown vs. the Devils the series, after, played pretty well against the Rangers in '14, was putrid against the Caps in 16 and is off to a rough start this year.

His last ES playoff point was 10 games ago in game 6 of the Rangers series back in '14!

I heard it was because of the broken wrists that Sid gave him

 

[Fordy]

Do the Flyers have anyone good enough to pee on when the series returns to Pitt?

 

[Kreator]

Giroux couldn't lead a horse to water if he lived on a lake. However if you wanted a couple meaningless points when the score is out of reach then he is your man. Theres a reason Team Canada passes on him.
