GDT: Senators vs Sharks 7:00PM CBC CSNCA "This might Hertl your eyes!!"

[Juxtaposer]

It looked like the right call in my opinion, the linesman just didn't blow the whistle quick enough. You make call at the faceoff dots and blow the whistle then (Wingels and the D were at the dots at the same time). For some reason, the linesman didn't really blow the whistle until Wingels got to the puck.

Disagree, but definitely borderline. And it'll be perfected as both players and refs get used to it and it becomes more natural. I think it was a great decision.

 

[SHAR KS]

Koala said Hertl is a little bit sore and will be fine tomorrow.

 

[19sharks19]

Thought the same. Pelech wasn't useful against a mobile Sens team.

True, McCarthy or Hamilton would have been much more suited against the Sens.

 

[Mrs Ski]

Woot...Tmac said Hertl was sore and should be ready to go tomorrow. He was asked if they kept him out as a precaution and he said "yes".

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Per TMac on CSN:

Hertl is just a bit sore and should be OK to go tomorrow.

Phew!

Hurrah!!

I could almost hug you right now. Almost!

Pelech is going to get killed on the road against St. Louis... This would be a great opportunity for Hamilton to make his debut, I think he'd be really effective against the Blues, but I'd take McCarthy over Pelech easily.

 

[McSkittlez]

Woohoo Hertl is fine! I can sleep peacefully tonight!

Since you mentioned the 4th line. What is the injury status of Burish? Is he expected back anytime soon?

 

[Led Zappa]

Thank Hertl!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[slocal]

Tomas is more upper body/shoulder than head as confirmed by TMac answering a question.

 

[Arrch]

Thank you Toews!

 

[Mrs Ski]

If he's sore tomorrow he won't skate. Tmac didn't seem to concerned. Whew.

If they're neck and neck at the face off dots they're supposed to let them race it out, the two angles I saw showed them tied at the dots with Wingles obviously going to win the race. It was a bad whistle, especially because he only blew it after the puck was touched.

It was simply a mistake.

Phew!

 

[Negatively Positive]

Sore indicates neck problem like a couple people mentioned. Glad he's okay but he really does need to be careful.

 

[KirbyDots]

Happy Happy, Joy Joy!

 

[Gene Parmesan]

I didn't think the 4th line was all that bad. Irwin/Boyle were terrible the first half of the game and so were Demers/Hannan.

 

[Nose Face Killah]

Teenage Mutant Ninja Hertl is fine! Hertl Power!

No, if they are neck and neck, they call it an icing.

In hybrid icing, the linesman blows the play dead and calls icing immediately if the defending player is leading or tied in the race to the faceoff dots in his defensive zone.

Totally agree.

I know its the fourth line but Todd has to read into these decisions a bit better.

 

[Juxtaposer]

Since you mentioned the 4th line. What is the injury status of Burish? Is he expected back anytime soon?

Hasn't started skating yet, as far as I know.

Tomas is more upper body/shoulder than head as confirmed by TMac answering a question.

Thank goodness. A day with the trainers instead of skating would probably do him some good though... and maybe Marleau teaching him out to keep his head up.

A-****ing-men

 

[WantonAbandon]

And Hertl is ok!!!!

 

[CrypTic]

Per TMac on CSN:

Phew!

Whew! I'm so relieved. Thanks for sharing the report. I hope Hertl learns to keep his head up.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

I worry more about Matt Irwin and his backhand clears than the 4th line against St. Louis.
