Post-Game Talk: Game 68 - Krug wins it in OT - BRUINS 2 Sunrise 1 F/OT

I guess the ref's thought the elbow as not intentional, hence that is why ED received the minor penalty?
They must view elbowing like a high sticking penalty, with the exception of cutting someone with the stick and or causing injury which is a double minor or major ( up to the ref's discretion).
Carlo was bleeding as well, which confused me as to why it was not called a major.
The elbow clearing caused an injury.

Wait a minute, Felger now talking hockey lol

He knows nothing about hockey

 

[Alicat]

He knows nothing about hockey

That's not exactly true.

Off the air, he's fairly knowledgeable and not as controversial.

Exactly, he only says things on the show to get people going. He is an actual genuine bruins fan like the rest of us, a rarity in sports radio around here

I like felger. Only show Ill listen to other than the hockey show.

We are mere fans and don't have the specialized skills of mind reading that the NHL officials have

They can instantly scan the perpetrator's mind and decide if intentional or accidental.

accidental was the verdict

These days crosschecking in front of the net and in scrums along the boards must not be intentional either.

 

[nORRis8]

I did not see the game and just now saw the replay.
Double minor. There was some intent.
Looking over his shoulder to see where Carlo was proves that.

I’d hate to see someone suicide their stick across Dadonov’s face the next meeting.

There is no double minor for elbowing. Minor or major.

There is no double minor for elbowing. Minor or major.

According to NHL rules, double minor penalties are only assessed for butt-ending, head-butting, high-sticking and spearing, although a major penalty must be imposed for an elbow resulting in an injury to the face or head of an opponent (which would also result in a game misconduct penalty)

So the NHL officials determined that Carlo was not injured on the play

So at tomorrow's game I guess I should give the players my elbow instead of high five ....I always high five them as them come out to the ice.

FYI

 

[NiftyWasNasty]

I think you're wrong on a lot of this, but that's my opinion as well. I think he looked up ice to where his teammate (Barkov?) was, and tried to pull the puck past him up to his teammate. You latching on to the strict interpretation of what a "toe drag" is ignores that Dadonov was in fact making a play on the puck in tight, which would necessarily mean his elbow would come up on the follow through.

Not only did he try but he successfully made the pass, tape to tape to Barkov. I believe there was zero intent on the play.

Still the wrong call, if the refs determined it was an elbow (as evidenced by the penalty they called) then the rules are clear and it should have been a 5 minute major.
