if you leave your feet it is a penalty, he left his feet and drove upwards, it was a penalty

[Spectator]

Horrible call there on the McDonald hit. Looking straight down at the puck. Only reason that is call is because he is small with a history of concussions. No way is that a penalty if its a hit on Thornton. Officiating hasn't been bad this game, but that call was.

That's not a "good" hit. Period.

It's okay to root for your team but please try to be objective.

For instance, that was a dumb penalty by Langenbrunner right there. It was the right call. Might seem a little weak but it is a penalty.

Look how hard that was?

Yes exactly. I meant to say from the Blues-Sharks matchups. They have looked soft. I have caught a few other games but from the small sample size that is my opinion.

Take your own advice and realize there should have been a Roughing call on the Blues.

[StreetSharks]

I guess you can't have a playoff game without trashtalking, I've thought it's been a great game so far

Skates leaving the ice is allowed after contact and that's exactly what happened. He didn't leap then make contact.

Did I say bounty, I said scouting report. This happened when I played college lacrosse. Players are made aware of other players injuries. That doesn't mean there is a bounty system.

Apparently the Sharks feed only shows the top of their bodies. That's all I can think of..

Nobody sits and memorizes the injury history of every opposing player. obviously some guys know what injuries some other guys have had, but its a bit of a tedious assumption to make

Sharks crash the net: dirty dirty dirty.

Galliardi hits Mcdonald dirty dirty dirty.

Sharks glare at a Blues player: dirty dirty dirty.

Yep

Now you understand. You have a dirty team, known for cheap hits.

[Thepainter]

McDonald is such a.scrub.

[Chojin]

Haha, Andy Mac with a case of mistaken identity.

If you really think that they Sharks are spending there days off studying the opponents injury history and then planning on hitting them there a feel sorry for you.

[SimplySensational]

People do realize Ovechkin got suspended for less of a charge.

[Hammer Slammer]

McDonald barely touched Couture there.

[cheechoo train]

Mcdonald hit Couture after the whistle and knocked him down. Obiously the Blues are classless players.

Dirty dirty dirty.

[chaosrevolver]

Wow..that was dirty as ****.

[Play4Miracles*]

Sharks are frustrated.

When a guy like McDonald has only played in about 50% of his teams games over the past 2 years due to concussions, the other team knows it.

[Thepainter]

Better be 2 minutes to McDonald there. That was a penalty.

[Spectator]

IF you want to see some illegal hits youtube Kronwall. No way was that a bad hit.

Trust me, when we had a big game or in the playoffs, everyone knew the injury history of the big players. A teammate and me had a torn ACL and multiple times you will have subtle shots in that area. When the game is on the line, players will go after a weak area on the opponent.

You fellas are getting a taste of the glorious future. A future where people retaliate without fighting.
