Nope, any charging penalty is stupid, especially if you're up a goal in the third period of a game you're getting way outplayed in

I just plain disagree.

There are literally clean ways to hit people hard, that don't put your team shorthanded in the third period of a one goal game.

[R_Dudley]

Awesome killed another BS penalty

[Scottysabres]

PK ranking going up after tonight.

It was clean.

And I don't care if it wasn't.

But it was.

I didn't see a replay. I got the impression you'd argue the same thing even if it was a charge, was that incorrect of me?

[R_Dudley]

Where was the interference on Jack not even with the puck

[darksabre]

Bogo is a defenseman who is expected to step up in the offensive zone and that's exactly what he did on that penalty. It's not his fault that he read the play right. 

[Randall Flagg]

I like how this season our defensemen aren't just trying to get the pucks off their sticks into transition as fast as possible. They're comfortable holding and waiting and using their outlet to buy more time, determined to start the transition the right way. That's all I asked of these guys since the tank ended. It's finally happening

I did and it was clean he really didn't accelerate through teh contact and it was perfectly timed.. he could have really blown him up and all he did is skate into him. He is just a load..

[Scottysabres]

On the replay, it was a clean hit. But, NHL Refs spun the wheel prior to the game, Buffalo was the penalty target team tonight.

You are correct. There are times when you absolutely have to take a penalty to send a message.

 Rule 42 of the NHL rulebook dictates that charging "shall mean the actions of a player or goalkeeper who, as a result of distance travelled, shall violently check an opponent in any manner.

I think they're looking at the distance travelled to make the hit.

Then I still disagree. Glad we're on the same page ?

[darksabre]

That was onside

[ubkev]

I thought he held it.

 

Damn! He did!

[R_Dudley]

that was not offsides, these refs are bad

[WildCard]

We are getting absolutely shafted with the calls here

I forgot, there is no such thing as momentum.?

[Randall Flagg]

How was that offsides? He dragged it in WITH HIS SKATE. That is physically impossible that he was offsides.

[TrueBlueGED]

Well that was a terrible offside call.

It's not about that - you can blow a guy up legally. Do it that way, same effect, better result.
