Ronalds.Kenins41 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Wait ... there is no NHL conspiracies gainst Canucks ? Never thought, this day would come but it has. Last night, when the score was 2-1, we had a bunch of power-plays and a bunch of 4 on 4 time. But after the canucks couldn't cash in with all of that, the calls returned to normal. So at least for last game, we had the refs on our side. (Yes, I went there) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't watch the video but I'm guessing it was a real good call by the NHL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuckleheadFan Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Fair call to not suspend burr, wish they would've rescinded like they did for Calgary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

higgyfan Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 the penalty will remain on Burrows' record with the league for future consideration in disciplinary matters. Don't like the sound of that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowtownCanuck Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Burrows started the fight, because he knew the puck was headed to an empty net. He sees a guy ready to go after him for his hit (which I'm not quite sure why there was a penalty on it) and does not hesitate. Whistle blows, play is dead, no goal. He assumes, based on the hit and Russel's response 5 for fighting for each of them, time served, hopefully see you in overtime.Hamhuis wasn't targeting the head, but he did make contact, so good call on a penalty, but again, not a suspension. There was no obvious intent to injureBeiksa, on the other hand, probably should have gotten an instigator and suspension for attacking Ferland. Even if that rat Ferland deserved it.

poetica Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Wasn't the hit Ferland did on Sbisa similar to the one of Burrows? No. That one involved far more force, caused a minor injury (cut to the face), and didn't even get called as a penalty. Oh, and it was used as poster by the Flames people. The hit by Burrows wasn't even that hard, didn't involve any kind of injury, and was only made as bad as it was largely due the fact that Gaudreau turned his back immediately before the hit. It, however, was called a penalty. AND, thankfully, we weren't classless enough to use the photo of it as an inspirational "hang in there" kitty poster.

avelanch Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 well he may not be suspended for tonight, but it's unlikely he'll play anyway, thanks to his injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't see anything at the Canucks Twitter feed. In fact, I just checked and found this: Vancouver Canucks @VanCanucks · 17m 17 minutes ago Desjardins said despite some players not practicing yesterday or skating this morning, everyone should be ready for Game 4. #Canucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John316 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 They rescinded the instigator just like the did for the Flames game 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scorvat Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 didn't expect them to leave him suspended. They wouldn't have been able to get away with it considering they let engelland off the hook. Would they be fined? Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So at least for last game, we had the refs on our side. (Yes, I went there) I agree with this move.I think the Canucks have broken out of the whole bad luck/bad calls thing.Maybe it was the Torts Baptism of Fire (or firing Torts).Maybe it was hiring TL and then JB and WD.Maybe our own Viking Mama finally broke through and they abandoned all hope.I am going with this new idea.We should complement the refs, praise the DOPS and the BOG, and cheer the team on without any of that old baggage.The Canucks are not cursed; the league, the refs, the media, everybody loves the Canucks.The Canucks are a good team of well-respected players who are on their way to winnning The Stanley Cup!(This is good; I like this.)GO CANUCKS GO !!
