Panthers @ Leafs - Jan. 30th, 7:00pm - SN, SN 590

That's a bad penalty call:

When any player, while in his defending zone, shoots or bats (using his hand or his stick)  the puck directly (non-deflected) out of the playing surface, except where there is no glass, a penalty shall be assessed for delaying the game. When the puck is shot into the players? bench, the penalty will not apply. When the puck is shot over the glass ?behind? the players? bench, the penalty will be assessed.

I don't know. It looked pretty intentional to me. That one might have been a penalty before the current rule was put into action.

What would be the rule/provision in the NHL rules for that then?

Well, they've really worded that rule poorly, but, before the current incarnation, a delay of game penalty was applied to any situation where the officials felt the player put the puck out of play intentionally. It may not fall exactly within the letter of the law, but it certainly falls within the spirit of it.

 

[lc9]

No effort out there.  Losing all the small battles.

 

[bustaheims]

Franson turns the puck over? Must be a day that ends in y.

 

[ZBBM]

Well, Greg, I'd say turnovers are another reason we might lose.

 

[TheMightyOdin]

That was weak Franson.

 

[Guru Tugginmypuddah]

FFS! X2

 

[lc9]

Wow, 2-0.  What an embarrassing effort so far, haven't even shown up.  Why are they so bad against the panthers?

 

[Highlander]

Time to send Cody to the rodeo?.don't ya think?

 

[Redleaf]

Yet another lazy clearing attempt by Franson. Is anyone still on board with resigning this guy?

 

[Arn]

So sit Franson for Ranger, yeah?

 

[TheMightyOdin]

Should play a lot better than this especially in our own building.

 

[barney_rebel]

We stink dudes...

 

[13th fan]

One those nights...Blah!

I was really only barely on board with signing him this summer. I'm quite happy they didn't cave and give him a multi-year deal.

 

[Highlander]

trade him now.  Last year I loved Cody but I was in Phoenix last week  and he sucked as bad as Phanuef whom took two bad penalties. For a big guy he doesn't have much confidence.  he could be a stud but he is a calf.

 

[lamajama]

One those nights...Blah!

Why must we have "one of those nights" almost every frigging night against crapola teams.. GRRRRR. (Despite their recent record)

 

[TheMightyOdin]

Scoring the next goal is necessary.

 

[lc9]

Really incredible this lack of effort.  They are just throwing their stick forward with one hand and making sure they don't get hit.

 

[ZBBM]

Redemption!
