Nonsense, game misconduct is a huge call. The way i understand it he cross checked him in the chest. The NFL did the right thing, i doubt these morons will. Im not concerned about who won or lost just get the call right, they have these wonderful tools at their disposal

Maybe if the referees would call playoff games like the regular season this wouldn’t have happened. The refs initially did not call anything until they saw Pavelski laying there. Call the slashes, hook in and holding like during the season, and eEakin or Stasny would not even have taken liberties figuring it would not be called.

Why get that call right when they miss so many others?

The problems with the call were (a) it was based on the result, not on the play; and (b) they haven’t been calling equal (or worse) cross checks and other illegal hits.

It could have been a 2 or a 5 had they been consistently calling cross checks all along and no one would have complained (or, at least, not very much). But they haven’t been - so why call this one?

Call them the way they are.

Agree on all points unless hawks can upgrade from hayden. Then yes trade him to me hayden just needs to play more and be more consistent which comes from playing more. Need more N.A. players with an edge to their game which is needed in the playoffs.

Hey Scott. I’ve seen you calling for more NA players recently. I’m a bit more of a purist in that I don’t care where they come from as long as they can play hockey. We have a few guys in the pipeline that have shown that they can play an aggressive style in Entwhistle, Kurashev, and Barrat.

With Hayden, he’s actually been given a number of chances and hasn’t really done enough with them. He gets out of position a lot and while I like the fact that he willingly goes to the corners and has the ability to dig the puck out, he doesn’t do it often enough. In my opinion he is likely gone, but only a couple people know for sure. If he was going to have any success I think it would be under Colliton. He coached him before and he seemed to get good results in Rockford. It just never really translated in Chicago.

I went onSirius XM last year, voicing my disapproval of the difference between the second season from the first, especially where the time platers are allowed to check former puck carriers. I believe the CBC Toronto colorman, Scott Laughlin was the moderator with Patrick O'Sullivan, who played of five seasons as a low end guy, but one year he had 22 goals/50 + points with the Kings.

I like Scott, because ei have this feeling he was talk show moderator before a hockey guy and he tries to round about on things to promote conversation(THAT'S HIS JOB,eh?)
OSullivan thinks his 5 seasons let's him be right almost always...imo.

Anyway, they refused to AGREE said the playoffs, maybe a little gets changed , more leeway but not much.

They must be watching smoother playoffs...

This is like a late-round heavyweight fight - both boxers slugging then hanging on to each other because they’re both gassed.
