riffraff Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 When the play first happened, I was thinking he was being held, but after watching the replay, it was pretty much a case of great backchecking by the Kings' player (Lewis?) I feel bad for Hammer. He was easily the Canucks' best defender in this series, but people will remember this play as the one that lost Vancouver the series, even though it was yet another terrible play by Edler on the Richardson goal that was the real culprit.

Tragoedia Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Dive? I hate everytime someone falls, everyone calls dive. Sometimes they just fall. It doesn't ONLY happen to Raymond. I don't deny embellishments happen sometimes. But every team, every player has embellished at some time. I can find an instant for any player. But sometimes they mess up, they fall. It sucks we lost. But he wasn't trying to dive in overtime at our blueline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoItForRaymond Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 No. He lost his footing when he was checked. Unfortunate really. I'm sure he feels bad about it. He's not to blame for the loss though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnInconvenienceBrah Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 No that was on Hamhuis, good non-call by the refs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kloubek Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I thought it was a penalty at first too, until I saw the replay. He was off balance, knew he was going down and held onto the stick... I presume to make sure the kings didn't have a 3-on-1. Good non-call by the officials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neversummer Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Another no but I saw the replay on Mason Raymond's wrap around ... how did that NOT go in ... missed it by inches. He could have earned his whole season's keep with that OT goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucklehead420 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I agree the seasons over nothing we can do, but a similar play where a King felt a tap on his legs and went down when he may have had a path to the net and it was called against us. if you're gonna call it in the 2nd period call it in OT. done venting looking forward to next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-DLC- Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 One thing that I'm learning over the years, "it is what it is". Won't change anything so all the would have should have dids didn't are irrelevant. And just wasted energy to pursue... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.A.A Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Hammer was not hooked, he was simply trying to do too much by going around the LA players, would have been better to make a simple pass out of the zone. Ended up being a turnover, and a costly one as we all know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forevernucks19 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 yup, and then he was sliding to the boards... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snolan Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Thought it was a penalty watching it live but in replays it's not. That little hit made him lose his balance a bit, and ironically enough if he wasn't holding the Kings player's stick he prob would not have gone down like that. Hard to say in the new NHL though, I've seen much lesser hooks deemed to be a penalty but in reality, no penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChuckNORRIS4Cup Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I give him a 8 out of 10 for the dive. And a 5 out of 10 for trying to sell it to the ref! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlas=d Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 first thing i thought was wow if hamhuis didnt dive there wouldn't of been a 2-1. ironic how the canucks season ends on a dive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
