[PGT] Flames win 2-1 in MIN!

[oldschoolcalgary]

that delay of game call was garbage... announcers were saying they have never seen that call made before... that in itself is telling about how bad a call it was.

Continuing this conversation from the GT about the penalty for the delay on the icing:

Here's the boxscore from the game: http://www.nhl.com/scores/htmlreport...9/GS020439.HTM

NJ called for Slashing, Embellishment, Hi-Sticking
LA called for Unsportsmanlike Conduct (Quick going after Wood), Hi-Sticking, Holding, Interference

Doesn't look like it got called in that game from what I can see.

not a penalty for tying his skate when nobody was even ready...including the officials themselves

and it didn't put a team down a man either

I think you would be hard pressed to find an example of a delay of game penalty for tying a skate that put a team down a man. I highly doubt it has ever happened.

Icing is suppose to be a punishment.

Completely negating the point of icing.

Should have 10 seconds to get to the faceoff dot and be ready for the puck or delay of game. I don't care what team. It's gotten ridiculous and I'm glad the refs didn't let a team get away with it this time, even if that means (gasp) not being biased.

I thought i heard the delay of game was due to a late line change by the Flames.

[Qwerty]

For everyone who thinks the delay of game was on monny go rewatch it. It was on our buddy #19 which is why he went to the box. He was just crossing the blue line behind all the Minny players lined up. It was delay of game. They pissed around for a minute and then was still last one by a country mile to the faceoff. I'm sure Monny tieing skate did not help the situation.

If it was on Monny he would be serving like when a player shoots the puck over the glass.

**This is all in my opinion.. would need the ref to confirm either way**

[sureLoss]

Ryan Leslie @ryanleslie73
Smith & Backlund could both be available for tomorrow vs St Louis

[dino7c]

the linesman pointed at Mony...that is why I thought it was him, as did the announcers


its a bench minor, anyone can serve...#19 often serves those

it should be called, but it never is.

Consistency in refs is the problem with the NHL, if that's considered a penalty, they should apply it consistently from the start of the year.

they don't... that's why people believe its a bad call

You are missing the point. Peters has been doing this all year and it's not been called. If the officials want to send a memo to teams that they are going to start calling this then no problem but to arbitrarily call that at a critical juncture in a one goal game is pure garbage.

Nobody was ready for puckdrop? So would you say the the game was being delayed?...

It was the Flames who got the penalty. Not Monahan. It was all-in. It took the Flames forever to get ready for that puckdrop, they intentionally delayed the game to get a breather. Every team tries to do it, the Flames took it a bit too far and the refs called it. Like they should have.

[Dajazz]

Swedish commentators raving about Rittich and how good he is. Erik Granqvist, one of the commentators is a goalie coach (Swedish national team, SHL teams) was super impressed with Rittich and thought he was going to be a true No 1 for a long time.

[Gaudfather]

Here is the rule:

If The center is not at the face-off dot within the five-second allotment, then the linesman will drop the puck. However, if a player is off-side on any face-off, the linesman will issue a warning to the player and the team (coach) that any similar occurrence will result in a delay of game penalty.

It's a minute after the icing call and because of some trickery the Flames don't have their players anywhere near ready for the faceoff. It's the definition of a delay of game.

The refs should do that more often, because it's gotten back to the point that icing doesn't matter when half the time a player will have to go and get a new stick, or a goalie will need his helmet adjusted or the refs will need to figure out who was on the ice.

I wouldn't have a problem with it, if it was ever called in other games. As you said, this happens all the time, so why was this the first time anyone has ever seen it called?

The penalty was for Monahan tying his skate. You can see the official in the dot with his hand urging him to hurry up.

That's only the 2nd game we've won this year when Gaudreau is held off the scoresheet.

have you ever watched hockey? this happens every game and has never been called to put a team down a man

[Itse]

Btw about the starting time, this was so really awesome for a Finnish fan, and it doesn't happen that often.

[badradio]

Rittich for PM!
That delay of game call was one of the worst things I’ve seen. The refs interfering in the outcome of a game, that is downright corrupt and needs to be out of the game.

[Jason14h]

What is a player suppose to do on an icing if his lace is undone? Honest question
