Re: C'mon Ref, on Abdelkader's Broken Stick
2Such a BS non-call. They should review every goal like they do touchdowns in the NFL.
Re: C'mon Ref, on Abdelkader's Broken Stick
3I read that yesterday. Honestly I don't see why that goal needed a review. The ref was on the opposite side from Allen so he had a clear line of site to the whole play. How the fuck does he not see a stick flopping around and waive it off immediately?
Re: C'mon Ref, on Abdelkader's Broken Stick
4Maybe because Petro pushed Abdelkader into Allen and that caused the stick to break.

5How many people have to tell you that's not what happened for you to realize it? Did you read what Kerry Fraser wrote about it no you didn't. I didn't need anybody to tell me because I could see with my own two eyes that's not what happened. Abdelkader never made contact with Allen and Petro never pushed him.JesusNEVERexisted wrote:Maybe because Petro pushed Abdelkader into Allen and that caused the stick to break.

Regardless as to how a stick is broken, there is no discretion for the referee to allow a player to continue playing with a broken stick. The player must drop the broken stick before participating in the play!
Pietrangelo "fronted" Abdelkader as the shot was directed toward the net and was not in physical contact with Abdelkader or his stick.
Abdelkader spun around and swung his stick with velocity in an effort to dislodge the puck and/or play a potential rebound. In doing so Abdelkader's stick made significant contact to both Allen's equipment and the ice resulting in breakage in the mid to upper shaft area of Abdelkader's stick as witnessed by the overhead replay.

Re: C'mon Ref, on Abdelkader's Broken Stick
7Has the league issued any statement at least apologizing to the Blues for the missed call? That is a huge point in the standings that the Blues lost the opportunity to get. As I said in another thread, could be the difference between facing WPG and CHI in the first round...

He not worth arguing with.

9If he breaks that stick within 30 days of purchase, then he can still get his money back as long as he has the receipt.

If I was him I'd sign it and send it to the Bruins front office.

Re: C'mon Ref, on Abdelkader's Broken Stick
15While i completely agree it was a botched call/goal i disagree wholeheartedly that you suggest we could have won that game and gotten the other point.MiamiLaw wrote:Has the league issued any statement at least apologizing to the Blues for the missed call?

This game reminded me of the jets game just two games ago.
We absolutely did not deserve a point that game and got lucky we got one against det.
We were playing to keep a 1 goal lead which has not/will not work in this nhl and we have done this to ourselves at an alarmingly infuriating rate the past few years.
In summation NO that goal SHOULD NOT HAVE COUNTED but we also NEED to be scoring MORE than 1 goal so shenanigans like this are not a concern
Now now, the Canadian Government has apologized for Bryan Adams on SEVERAL occasions!
Re: C'mon Ref, on Abdelkader's Broken Stick
16I wouldn't be so sure. Calling the play correctly would have meant giving Abdelkader a penalty for playing with a broken stick. That would have meant 3-on-3 for 20 seconds followed by 1:40 of 4-on-3 for the Blues. Certainly not a cinch, but I would have like our chances.Ozzies09tc wrote:While i completely agree it was a botched call/goal i disagree wholeheartedly that you suggest we could have won that game and gotten the other point.
Re: C'mon Ref, on Abdelkader's Broken Stick
17Well the way i interpreted what kerry fraser said was (paraphrasing) [it should have been a penalty but since it was a "bang-bang" play the refs usually let these ones go] so i was thinking more 4 on 3 then possibly another pp goal or (i guess we could have) won in the soMissouriMook wrote:I wouldn't be so sure.
