Stick broke on the shot? Sure, Backlund still slashed him. In slow mo it was still a spit second of time between the slash and stick breaking, imagine how it looked real time.


Seriously guys, this is far too vancouver like whining in here.

I think it has to do with consistency. Just witnessed the exact same situation where Frolik's stick was slashed and there was no call. Another stick was broken for the Flames during the 5 on 3...no call. It's hard to not get angry when they're tilting the ice like that. The Hartley call was completely unnecessary when there's already a 5 on3 happening. Give him a warning. If he continues then you give a penalty. There are ways of managing the game without handing out penalty after penalty in a short period of time.
