Odd. Posted December 8, 2015 Author Share Posted December 8, 2015 This would be his 3rd violation and so he'd have to pay $3000. As well, Neal was the first player to be fined for diving after the new rules surrounding embellishment. If he were to violate a 4th time, he'd pay $4000. If he still doesn't get it and violates for the 5th time, he'd have to pay $5000 and the head coach would be fined $2000 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyLow_ Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Clearly a reputation call by a Ref looking to make a call. That said, hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reputation or not, it was clearly embellishment. Not like the referee had an agenda - Neal acted like he got shot in the face when he wasn't even touched.

FlyLow_ Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 The referee had no idea if he was touched or not. Absolutely impossible to see if a stick hits a face from his position, you can't even tell from the video if it hits unless you zoom in. Like I said, obvious reputation call by a ref looking to make a call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fateless Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Just now, The 5th Line said: This video has no replay but does it not look like Rask's stick swing around and hits him square in the chops? From what I could see there was no contact. Rask's stick doesn't change direction when it goes past Neal's head suggesting it didn't make contact with anything.

The point is it's a close call, way too close to be that animated about it unless you have an agenda. Maybe he didn't like the "I'm dying" pose afterwards, but if I got called for embellishment on that I'd be calling the ref out for trying to get on youtube.

Nuxfanabroad Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Remember the reffs had helmet-cams, so we could see them looking at plays they clearly botched? That lasted about 2 games... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't really matter how hard it is - guy got hit with a high stick (even if it was a legal one), the natural reaction is to grab the area that was hit. That's not embellishment to me. If it missed completely (as I originally thought it had), then it was totally a diving/embellishment penalty - but that's not a penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyLow_ Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 But again, still hilarious. I wish we could pay for a fully mic'd up uncut broadcast of hockey, I'd pay triple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 The refs more than made up for it. For the rest of the game there were 5 penalties against the Bruins, and none against the Preds. Predators tied it on a PPG, and took the lead in the 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 0:45, Franzen gives Thornton the lightest touch to the shin and Thornton completely flops. Well here, the stick BARELY touches him (actually looked like it him around the shoulder area) and Neal just gives up life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
