Message: [QUOTE="STEVEHOLT, post: 5240899, member: 522"] in the last minute of the leafs / oilers game last night (a barn burner btw) McJesus takes Tavares stick , which had fallen to the ice, and shoots it all the way to the blue line. As Johnny Toronto retrieves the stick , it’s 6 on 4 for a short spell and the oilers immediately score. This is 100% a penalty. It’s not a judgment call. It would be like ignoring a shooting the puck over the glass penalty just cause the game was in crunch time. I absolutely hate NHL officiating. Unlike other sports where refs suck cause they miss or can’t see things, nhl refs see things and decide to call or not call them defending on game flow (this team is down 3-0, so im not going to call that penalty on them). Cross checks into the back are a prime example. Call em when you want and otherwise ignore them [/QUOTE]
