Who was that unbelievable ***** on the Pens that ran Gerbe right after, and then dove half way across the rink like he had been hit with a cannon? What an embarrassment.

Wouldnt have minded seeing Gleason tune Downie (i think it was?) there

Who else? Downie.

Gerbe just owned a dude who's half a foot taller than him.

Gerbe is tough as ****

 

[tarheelhockey]

The fight was whatever, but Downie was a human highlight reel in that sequence

Owned? Gerbe is strong no doubt though and built like a barrel. Did they actually get 5 for fighting in the end? Gerbe should have got 2 for interference + 5 for fighting or 2 if they called it roughing, Downie 2 for a charge, Megna 2 for instigating + 5 for fighting + 10 for the visor or a double roughing penalty if they decided it wasn't a fight.

 

[Your Boy Troy]

What should have been called:

Megna (two-minutes for roughing); Gerbe (two-minutes for interference and two-minutes for roughing); Downie (two-minutes for interference).

That 'fight' should only result in roughing minors. Screw the instigator as well. This is what occurs when two undersized NCAA players that rarely fight decide to drop the gloves. A crap scrap.

I thought at the time of the game (and I was there in the stands) that Megna and Gerbe got 5 for fighting but looking back at the scoresheet, it looks like they got coincidental roughing minors. The Canes wound up on the powerplay on the sequence because Megna drew a crosschecking penalty. Something may be off with the scoresheet though as it previously had the attendance underreported by ~5,000...

What do you guys think about Gerbe's hit? Interference? I am on the fence.

It is interference. Despres has been rung a few times this year for doing something similar. If they both engaged then I don't mind the refs letting it go but Gerbe hit Despres while Despres was trying to skate to the puck.

 

[Rebuilt]

Gerbe should take Chara on next time.

 

[Nibbler]

Wow, Gerbe is strong for his size. Damn.

5'5", 180lbs. He's jacked.

5'5", 180lbs. He's jacked.

and 5'5 might be generous.

 

[struckbyaparkedcar]

****in seriously. His core strength is absurd. His legs are tree trunks stumps.

Same. I'm leaning more towards no. Although he initiates contact, he doesn't really change the his path, skate wise. Race for the puck, throw the arms out. Doesn't appear to skate into the D's path. However, I could also see it being called for him completely taking the other guy out of the play. Way stand tall though! Lmao

Edit: just rewatched. He kinda lunges into the opposition' s path. I think I change my answer to yes interference.

If they both lunged in shoulder to shoulder and Despres (or Gerbe) goes down then I'm fine with no penalty, live by the sword die by the sword but Gerbe was the only to go in so I'd say that is worthy of a 2.

Gerbe doing his best Byfuglien impersonation lmao.
