Sharks get away with a boarding call that nearly took out Benning.

[Bjornar Moxnes]

I used to have the decency to at least respect the Sharks, but now they're on the same page as the hated SoCal teams. Refs also let a deliberate cross-check and boarding committed by none other than E. Kane to slip by.

yea that's f***ed.

 

[Hynh]

But non-calls have no effect on the game, right?

 

[BlackDogg]

Ref standing right beside him. Should be fired before the end of the game.

 

[McMozesmadness]

One of the most ridiculous sequences I’ve ever seen.

 

[Kosik]

Then of course they give oilers a cross checking penalty within 2 min right after.

 

[weastern bias]

Wait, you mean to tell me that NHL refs made a mistake?

 

[tny760]

maybe its the angles and the quality but i've seen much harder boards not called

didn't really look like there was a whole lot there

whatever... nothing new to see here.. f*** Kane... hope he gets what he deserves.

 

[Bank Shot]

Stuff like that makes you think some of the refs might be on the take.

 

[BlackDogg]

whatever... nothing new to see here.. **** Kane... hope he gets what he deserves.

Turns out he's the same player no matter where he plays...hmmm.

 

[McYoungGuns]

no bias against the oilers at all

What? There was everything there. It was classic boarding. Shoved from behind in the numbers. Dangerous play

 

[DrDrai]

the ref just standing and looking at benning is pure hilarity, hes probably trying to remember what his training told him to do

 

[Frosty415]

before the game started I told myself

"I hope kane doesn't do anything that looks dirty tonight or people will lose it"

that didn't take long, but at the same time it looks like Kane barely tapped him.

I'm indifferent about the hit at the moment, need more videos.

 

[El Travo]

Didn't look like a lot of force was put behind it, but that is a very dangerous area and we have seen guys go flying into the boards with less.

I don't see intent behind the play. There should have been a penalty though. That's on the ref to call. A bit of an overreaction by the OP, in my opinion.

 

[Whaddagoal]

... and at about :06 seconds into that clip you can literally see the ref choking on his whistle as the camera pans away....or so it looks....

 

[Helistin]

Holy diver. Tittiditittidi dididii.

 

[Alwalys]

yay a call went in favor of the sharks!

 

[ek93]

f*** Kane

- a Sabres fan who can now stop pretending to like Kane

 

[Yarbles02]

I don’t understand how you don’t make that call when you are Right There!

 

[Legionnaire]

yay a call went in favor of the sharks!

LOL.

OP obviously doesn't remember the Nolan and Marchment era of Sharks. No better than the rest of us for sure.
