Double minor is a smart initial call as they can now review the video ... unfortunately it confirmed the call

Unreal.. the high stick was due to the interference and he will get 4…

Should the play not have ended on the interference when Tampa had the puck?

 

No it wasn't and the play doesn't end until the whistle is blown

How does Tampa get a PP out of that.

The interference causes the high stick.

So if i do holding the stick and make an opponent hit me in the face and get cut, my team gets a 2 minute advantage?

 

This rule is stupid.

Yes they called the rule correctly.

 

However the rule is stupid if you can commit a penalty to force a stick into your own face and then get a powerplay if you end up cut.

1g lead after 1, is OK.

8 shifts 9 minutes for Matheson.

I miss Dobson.:(

Yep. That was my logic too. Just go around grabbing peoples stick and hitting yourself in the face with it. Couple cuts but can play the whole game on the pp.

The stick was already up ... the only "excuses" for a high stick are follow-through on a shot, not a pass or clearing the puck, and when the opponent causes the stick to come up ... my issue with the enforcement of the rule has alwasy bee, and remains, that an intentional/ vicious high stick that does not draw blood gets two but a tap that draws book gets four

Getting more than 4 shots in the 2nd should be a focus.

Nobody grabbed or even lifted the stick ... carry your stick high and even if someone runs into it it is a penalty

Yes but You are allowed to have your stick up if it does not hit the opponent or the puck.  And without the interference it doesnt hit point.  Its a dumb rule if there is a way of getting an advantage out of committing a penalty.

 

And yes, i know that under the current rule, the ref made the right call.

Agree to disagree I guess on that point (pun intended)

 We’d some offense.. 5 shots isn’t going to cut it.

 

Maybe six is enough? 😊

The stick was below the shoulder before he was contacted. 

 

(1) it's the crossbar not the shoulder for goals ... (2) it's where the puck contacts the stick

I was referring to the high sticking call.. not the goal that was called back.
