Singling out Boll when guys like Klesla and honestly just about ALL of the forwards NOT named RJ Umberger doesn't make a ton of sense.....

i was just saying from the guys who were at the morning skate yesterday. it just seemed like they were fooling around the whole time

Unbelievable

Klesla is not putting any weight on his left skate/leg....

I think I see what happened...when he hit into the boards, his skate went directly into the boards as his hip and knee were moving forward....

OUCH....

 

[NUTS4theBUCKS28]

how was there not a check from behind call on the hit on klesla?

Not a bad hit. Rusty turned and went down before the hit which made it look like a bad hit.

Blues starting to pick it up now. Cycling really well and drawing another penalty.

yes its a penalty...if its a clear check from behind they can give the player a ten minute misconduct. its to protect the players.

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

And there's the PP goal. Soft, Mase...soft.

Meltdown coming earlier tonight?

I think you're confusing boarding and cross-checking with what actually happened.

Just because a collision happened and the guy got hurt doesn't mean it's a penalty

You're probably a fan of no-touch icing too...

 

[Mike80]

if they blow this one, that 4 minute power play where they got one shot on goal and hit Mason in the ass with the other will be part of the reason....

Gotta convert those....

44.1 Checking from Behind ? A check from behind is a check delivered on a player who is not aware of the impending hit, therefore unable to protect or defend himself, and contact is made on the back part of the body. When a player intentionally turns his body to create contact with his back, no penalty shall be assessed.
44.2 Minor Penalty - There is no provision for a minor penalty for checking from behind.
44.3 Major Penalty ? Any player or goalkeeper who cross-checks, pushes or charges from behind an opponent who is unable to protect or defend himself, shall be assessed a major penalty. This penalty applies anywhere on the playing surface (see 44.5).

If by "no touch icing" you mean plowing the opposing goalie with a face full of snow, then count me in.
