the rule is vauge. as far as i know they werent mad. their bench didnt look so fired up. it looked like they bumped into each other to me. you have to protect the netminder but when you leave the net incidental contact will occur. boston fans are mostly reasonable and know their hockey. plus a goal didnt occur right then.


on a side note. was that not the best hockey game ever at nationwide?

I stay away from hockey games on weeknights as I have a hard time controlling my beer intake. Don't want to feel like shit in the morning.

But I could feel the excitement through the television set.

Herbstriet, Spielman and Hooley were talking about it on the radio this afternoon and Herby was positively gushing about the Jackets. Talking play off hockey.

I am pumped. I'm still holding off on the playoff ticket purchase, but not for much longer.

An unwritten hat trick rule, and another dig at Cherry - Red Wings Snapshots - MLive.com
Two tidbits popped up regarding the Red Wings' 8-2 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets which might interest you. First, the Columbus Dispatch's Tom Reed, in discussing the Blue Jackets' push to qualify for the playoffs for the first time in franchise history, found that a Columbus fan who doffed more than just his hat to celebrate Rick Nash's hat trick received the boot:
March 10, Columbus Dispatch: Matt Garrett, 26, of Columbus, was thrilled when his hometown received an NHL franchise in 2000, but his military obligation didn't allow him to follow the team closely. The Marine served two tours in Iraq before coming home in 2006. Garrett attends as many Jackets games as possible and might be the arena's second-most-popular masked man, behind Mason. On Feb. 13, he arrived for the Red Wings game donning a "Jason" mask fromFriday the 13th fame. The Jackets won 3-2, and a tradition was born. On Saturday night, Garrett drove to Detroit and celebrated captain Rick Nash's hat trick in style. Garrett tossed his hat onto the ice and, after holding up the mask to taunting Red Wing fans, threw it onto the rink, as well. He was escorted from the building by ushers but was pleased to get revenge for Jackets fans.
"We have seen Detroit fans come into our arena and throw octopi (a Red Wings' playoff tradition) on our ice," Garrett said. "I told the usher, 'This isn't a dead animal, it's just a mask.' As they led me out, I turned to them and said, 'We'll see you in the first round of the playoffs.'"
​
Maybe so, maybe not, but I'd imagine that throwing of objects of the non-soft variety constitutes grounds for a fan's version of a game misconduct.
The Edmonton Sun also posted a letter from a hockey fan named Anthony Owusu, who pointed out that the ignoble (it's the word of the day, for Don, and means "characterized by baseness, lowness, or meanness") Don Cherry violated his own axioms during Saturday night's ramble:
March 10, Edmonton Sun: While praising that good ole Canadian boy Rick Nash's performance against Detroit, it must have slipped Cherry's mind that the Columbus Blue Jackets were running up the score on the Detroit Red Wings. I guess it's OK for a Canadian such as Nash to run up the score but not for Tomas Vanek, the European.​

KuklasKorner : Hockey
from Jack Edwards of Bruins Blog at NESN,
Kristian Huselius dove on Tuesday night. He did it to try to help his team win. The two points went to Columbus, and the Blue Jackets were happy in their room. The points will disappear into the account in the NHL standings, pad the stack and may put Columbus into the playoffs for the first time when all is said and done.
I have no idea what Huselius’ teammates said to him after the game, but I know this: If you pulled that crap on the kids in my neighborhood, you wouldn’t even get picked the next game. Nobody would have wanted you on his team. You could sit and think about being such a dink.
Actions define character. No matter what Huselius does from here on out, this one’s stuck on him like that slimy smile on Mike Ribeiro’s face in the spring of ‘04.
My spleen is vented, but Huselius left an indelible impression. While his teammates earned a win, he won himself a tag: diver.

this is about the chara penalty when he put his free hand around juice and clipped his lower legs.

Well they would know, they've lost what now 11 of 15 or something like that? Where will it rank in all time tank jobs if they blow that huge lead they had in the east all year?

Wow. What a whiny piece of crap article.

First, post a clip of the video. I remember Chara being called a penalty, but I don't recall the particulars. Let your readers judge for themselves.

Second, even if it was a dive, he acts this is the first dive ever in the NHL. It happens all the time. Guys get a rep for doing it all the time. If Juice was a regular diver, you think maybe the refs would keep that in mind and he wouldn't get that call?

:shake:

i dont have a clip. from memory chara had a free hand on juice and he threw a right handed wrap with his stick on juice. it hit him in the legs and juice fell. personally it may have been a soft call. it wasnt a world class dive that is for sure.

i dont have youtube here. ill get you a youtube clip of a slewfoot general. and ill look for this (chara/juice) incident on youtube.

I didn't find the Chara/Juice call - obviously wasn't that bad of a call since nobody posted a video whining about it.

Pollard: So called hockey traditionalists please take note
...
It's still early to start filling in the name plate but at this point voters would be hard pressed not make a goaltender the next winner of the Calder Trophy.
The question is which one?
Nashville's Pekka Rinne is giving the Blue Jackets' Steve Mason a run for top rookie honours. Both have helped put their teams in a position to make the playoffs this year. For Columbus it would be the franchises maiden voyage into the post-season.
There's not much to choose from when comparing the goaltenders numbers wise.

Other than shutouts, Rinne's numbers are better or almost identical to Masons.
That being said, when forced to make a choice my support leans to Mason.
The young Blue Jacket goaltender has white washed the opposition nine times. That's the most shutouts since Ken Dryden recorded eight as a rookie with Montreal in 1971-72. Rinne has six.
The modern day record of fifteen was set by Tony Esposito in 1969-70 but he was 26 yrs-old at the time. Mason turns 21 May 29th. Rinne is actually barely eligible for rookie honours. He turned 26 in November. Had he turned 26 before September 15th, he would not be eligible.
