GDT: WCSF GM05 | Vancouver Canucks vs Edmonton Oilers | Thur. May 16th | 7pm PST | SNP/CBC | So Tight, Almost Like a Playoff Series

[jackjohnson]

Ask any fan of any other team. Canucks dove more than any team in the NHL.

Its not 2011 anymore, stop watching those old Canucks games

 

[oilers4life5]

I just want to know how many missed calls there were.

13 by my count.

 

[TruKnyte]

Don’t explain it. They don’t understand why legit penalties are called.

I mean, they should call every reverse hit if that’s the case

 

[TheUnusedCrayon]

Show me a single time that has been called before in the playoffs.

Or regular season. I'll accept either.

 

[drax0s]

So like shitposting aside - these two teams are incredibly evenly matched that I still don't feel comfortable picking a winnerof this series. Each of the games in this series has been decided by one goal and could've gone either way with a bit of luck.

I'm glad we're making it interesting after so many were predicting the Canucks would get dummied this series though.

 

[Bizzare]

I haven't insulted anything, your argument is a player on my team who retired did stuff 10 years ago so I can't believe in the rules. It's asinine

He was just an example, as I was trying to help you understand… shame on me.

 

[josra33]

Imagine getting called for diving, the lowest penalty that is assessed and still comolaining that the other team dives.

So even jumping straight up like EP is charging?

Just curious. What would the call be if EP jumped out of the away from the hit, but still got hit?

believe it or not, straight to jail

 

[WetcoastOrca]

This series has been funny. One game everyone mocks the oilers

You just have two read 2 posts up from yours. You’ll find your explanation right there.

Nope. Here’s the rule. Distance travelled is part of a charge.
Here's the language: 42.1 Charging - A minor or major penalty shall be imposed on a player who skates, jumps into or charges an opponent in any manner. Charging shall mean the actions of any player who, as a result of distance traveled, shall violently check an opponent in any manner.

Contact was coming and he jumped into it, it's pretty clear. Peace guys, this is f***ing stupid.

 

[jackjohnson]

13 by my count.

Yep 13 for Canucks. Oilers got away eith a lot

 

[oilers4life5]

Yep 13 for Canucks. Oilers got away eith a lot

Nope 4 for the Canucks.

 

[LordBacon]

Wow, I compliment the Canucks and get this response.

GG
See ya next game.

 

[ahmon]

I noticed you didn’t quote the whole rule.
Distance travelled is a necessary condition.
Here's the language: 42.1 Charging - A minor or major penalty shall be imposed on a player who skates, jumps into or charges an opponent in any manner. Charging shall mean the actions of any player who, as a result of distance traveled, shall violently check an opponent in any manner.

No kidding, all rules are open to interpretation.

When was the last time a player being HIT was ever called for charging?

Here's another rule

Rule 8.3 – Interference​

Interference is when a player commits any of the following actions:

1. Interferes with or impedes the progress of an opponent, who is not in possession of the puck.

If we go by this rule, technically almost any "reverse hit' is interference too - how often does the player hitting someone has the puck?

 

[jackjohnson]

Contact was coming and he jumped into it, it's pretty clear. Peace guys, this is f***ing stupid.

So if contact is coming, you should just do nothing and get hit

 

[josra33]

I'm not salty. The team fell flat

Bro you’ve been making everyonr retain too much water with the amount of complaining you do.

 

[MikeyMike01]

Oilers fans got to be the saltiest. Jesus Christ. Even Toronto fans aren’t this salty

It’s so incredibly easy to root against the Oilers.

 

[snag]

Yep 13 for Canucks. Oilers got away eith a lot

You would be ignorant to think that one team came out smelling like roses and the other like shit on the penalties....

 

[zar]

GG
See ya next game.

Cheers.

 

[Dust]

How many cups you got? Thought so.

Leafs fans? I have no idea. Ask them. It was a light hearted joke about the Leafs being eliminated early every year. It wasn't good to begin with, now it's bad because I had to explain it because you thought it was a shot at the Oilers.

And for the record I wish the Leafs nothing but success, I went to a game there this year and it was a lot of fun.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Nope 4 for the Canucks.

We’re all lucky to have such a reasonable and objective guy like you keeping track of the missed calls.
I just wanted to personally thank you for all of the great work you do.

 

[Double Dion]

It’s so incredibly easy to root against the Oilers.

It's a tough fanbase to rally behind. They get every advantage handed to them and still cry about how unfairly they were treated.

 

[Ezekial]

So if contact is coming, you should just do nothing and get hit

You shouldn't jump into anything in hockey, it's not figure skating, don't jump.

 

[ChurchOfMatthews]

Honestly I think the Leafs fans have handled things fairly well considering.

Because we're dead inside.

 

[22Brad Park]

That ass stuff was WWF Killer Bees-level! Much respect.

Also Congrats to the Nucks!

That Pettersson one if he keeps skates on ice I would be right on board with you.

If we go by this rule, technically almost any "reverse hit' is interference too - how often does the player hitting someone has the puck?

If Interference was called going by this rule, there would be a penalty called every 10 seconds.

Players always purposely get in the way or nudge opposing players chasing after loose lucks.
