LittleHurt05 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Hate to sound like a Canuck fan, but I concur that the refs have been s***. That Toews call was awful and Shaw should have been given a normal two minute minor. That being said, the Coyotes had a worse power play than the Hawks this season, the penalty kill needs to play better. Too many guys are setting up shop right in front of Crawford.

To sound like a canuck fan you would have to say Bettman had a direct line to the refs during the game and was personally directing every call as it happens.

RockRaines Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I think Sharpie got it. Thats one of the worst games I've seen us play in a awhile and we are in OT on the road. Not bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats one of the worst games I've seen us play in a awhile and we are in OT on the road. Not bad. I agree. As upset as I am at the two bad calls, that regulation loss would have been on the Hawks, not on the refs. This Esposito/Thomas commerical is just f***ing awful. Binny's needs to spend some money to find an actual producer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IlliniKrush Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Great comeback and win. But come on guys. Shaw went through Smith, shoulder to head. That's an easy call. Goalies are protected, they aren't free game. If that happened to Crawford, the reaction here would have been the complete opposite, which is a joke. That wasn't even close. Seriously, we're all Hawks fans, but come on already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta add that Corey Crawford played awesome, especially that toe save in OT in the crease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a shoulder to a goalie's head behind the net is going to result in that, and rightly so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was helmet to helmet, there wasn't much shoulder, if ANY, that hit Smith. He got 5 and a 10+game for that, Weber got 2 for smashing Zetterberg's head in the glass. And Smith embellished the s*** out it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, Hawks win, doesn't matter anymore. If Shanahan didn't suspend Weber, no way in hell he can discipline Shaw although you can bet he will be in a fight on Tuesday.

IlliniKrush Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 (edited) The overhead angle certainly made it look like shoulder on head. His hit has zero to do with Weber. Edit: It certainly was shoulder on head after seeing it a few more times including one different angle.

His hit has zero to do with Weber. His hit has everything to do with Weber. Zetterberg wasn't hurt, so Weber wasn't suspended. Byron Bitz hurt Kyle Clifford, who missed the next game, Bitz was suspended. Smith stayed in the game, Shaw should not be suspended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniKrush Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 You realize injury isn't the only thing that goes into consideration for a suspension? No, Shaw's actions have zero to do with Weber. Not to mention Zetterberg is not a goalie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Smith flopped like a soccer player. That's clear to me from watching the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniKrush Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I don't blame him. Any goalie will do that. However, he still got a shoulder to the the head, it's not like it was only a flop or something. The onus is on Shaw there to avoid such contact with the head.
