*Buzzsaw* Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Slater and Kesler have an exchange... they are physically challenging each other. A minute later, Slater holds his knee in position, he can see the collision, he definitely braces himself to put his strength behind holding his knee solid. Kesler does not even see him coming. Both players spin on contact, Slater looks at the Ref immediately... He knows. But no 5 minute penalty... Ho Hum.... just another day at the office for another NHL Ref. Daniel Sedin gets boarded behind the net, serious injury... no problem... Kesler gets knee taken out... serious injury... no problem... Oh wait... the Canucks are running out of Star players... ok then you can take a run at Hamhuis... no problem. We've been going through this for the last 4 seasons, ever since the Canucks became contenders... It's been very obvious, the NHL might as well have put up a sign which says: "OPEN SEASON ON CANUCKS" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Pretty sure the Canucks got away with a few there too. Either way, this is what they get for being a team that embellished for the last few seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds like"Did you see what she was wearing ? She was definitely asking for it" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyllenhaal Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I actually think the refing has been pretty fair as of late, Daniel was hit by Methot, who is huge, cleanly into the boards but Daniel was trying avoid the hit and crashed awkwardly, and Slater could have avoided the knee on Kesler but i think a 2 minute penalty was fine.

THERETOOL Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 until burrows is gone were probably going to keep getting the short end of the stick ... they feel he crossed a line ... I feel its unjust and disgusting how blatant the bias is .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thema Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I saw two Canuck plays that were pretty obvious penalties that weren't called and the replay of the Kesler injury looks to me like both players had their legs out a tad so that penalty seems to be right. Just a bad break for Kes. The refs were even tonight IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds like "Did you see what she was wearing ? She was definitely asking for it" It means that if there is doubt in the refs mind, that we don't get the benefit of it. That's what guys like Burrows and Kesler have done for this team. They're both on referee lists for known embellishers. The only way they get calls now is if they're blatant, like we saw tonight.

oldnews Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Redundant. (I don't mean the thread - I mean the phenomena the OP is describing). For me, the ultimate irony is the fact that Hank was penalized (for an uber soft 'hook', typical of the countless minors they get assessed for soft infractions) as he took a viscious (unpenalized) cross-check that ended his Iron Man streak. NHL handling/'management' of the Sedins in a nutshell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mispelled Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Kesler is the chippiest player we've ever had. Him and Burr don't have the refs respect. Don't be such a homer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tortorella's Rant Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 He is not a star, more like a prospect that might pan out. lol. I think he's a little more than panned out though. He'd outscore all our d-men if he played even 60 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTruthHurts Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I think he's a little more than panned out though. He'd outscore all our d-men if he played even 60 games. Still, not a star. Not on the same level as Kesler anyway. Which was the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanKeslord17 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 It all happened so quickly. In no way did Slater do that on purpose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRussianRocket. Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Couldn't agree more. It's a Canuck sweater, free for all, do whatever you want to take him out. Stupid league By now it's so obvious even American team fans are recognizing this all around the league. Just pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJDDawg Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Are people still blaming the refs for everything? Get over it man. As well, teams still get to run our goaltender at will. Shouldn't happen. I think Alex Edler had a little something to do with that tonight. The guy is always crosschecking and driving players into our crease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
