Around the League 2019-2026 Edition

[Preston]

Montreal has 6 shots at the 2nd of the 2nd period.

History suggests that they win this game.

If the leafs insulated their core like the canes did, "we can and we will' would have a whole other meaning in 2026. Mobile as fuck, skill up and down the lineup and impenetrable. Such a shame.

The two loser organizations should have combined forces. Leafs had the franchise players/game breaking talent, canes had everything else.

lol incredible they don’t call that high stick

How do you call a high stick when dude was on his knees when he got hit with the stick?

 

[Habspatrol]

Lol texier just jabbed miller in the balls on purpose and can’t figure out why he got a penalty

That was such a dumb penalty... wtf was Tex thinking?

 

[Cal Gal]

He wasn't.

Are you serious? Watch it again, it was clearly a high stick.

Hopefully they show it again, but it looks like Carrier was on his knees, therefore it's impossible that the sick was "high."

 

[Preston]

I probably wouldn't call that a high stick, though in fairness, he was about as high as caufield is standing up.

 

[Feyd]

I will say it was more clear in the slomo iso cam. At speed I can see why they didn’t call it.

 

[Habspatrol]

His knees are on the ice and Dobson's stick is maybe 3 ft off the ice. Cannot be a high stick.

 

[Feyd]

? That looks like a high stick to me?

Dobson‘s stick is above his shoulder.

It looks like a high stick because you are not taking into account that his knees are on the ground which means his head is at about 3 ft off the ice. 3 ft off the ice is not high sticking.

 

[Habsy]

Too much emphasis put in sog. The Canes shoot from everywhere, doesn’t mean they are good at shooting.

His head wasn't 3 ft off the ice, you can clearly see that in the still and when watching the play live. Whatever, doesn't matter anymore.

Because that doesn’t matter.

Does the rule have that specific language built into it? I was under the impression that it required the stick to be over the impacted player's shoulder but makes no specific mention of how high that has to be.

How tall is Carrier? How can a stick possibly be high if he's on his knees?

 

[Preston]

Oh shit HP just built a case against himself with that screen cap

I mean we've seen it for years, a player is falling and takes a stick to the face and there's no penalty. I guess we never see it where both players are falling.

Pretty sure he's taller than 5'. He'd have to be pretty short for his head to be 3' off the ice even if he's on his knees.
