  1. Having seen more angles I’m now 100% convinced that the puck hit Villardi’s stick. But theres still more to the conversation.
     

    Friedman and as a result a lot of other people have said it didn’t matter that the puck hit Ekholm because he never gained possession. However in the rule book possession is only ever mentioned with respect to the offending team that high sticked the puck. possession and control are never mentioned in the pre-requisites for a washout and play to continue.
     

    The yellow below would indicate no goal but the blue immediately afterwards indicates goal.

     

    It seems like we need to make a distinction between whether or not the “puck [was] struck by a high stick” which would mean no goal since it only deflected off of a defending player and possession was gathered next by the offending team or whether it was more incidentally “contacted by a high stick” which is the blue highlight and would mean it was a good goal because it was batted to an opponent. The fact that Ekholm didn’t gain possession in this blue scenario doesn’t actually mean anything the way the rule is worded.

  2. Just now, McBackup said:

    Coilers fans now crying about the refs and advocating physical harm be inflicted upon them.

     

    Its times like these that make leave me confused as to why the Canucks are the only team with a toxic fanbase.

    I mean we cried just as much when we played the Kings in those series a decade ago. A Gary team vs a Canadian team is always going to lean one way from the stripes.
