dirty shot to Rome.

The penalty on Rome looked like a dive too.

 

[Drako]

Wow, that was a weak ass boarding call. WTF?

Nah. But I'm expecting a suspension for McGinn

 

[Drako]

Nah. But I'm expecting a suspension for McGinn

It was not even boarding.

Reckless. He deserved the 5 min major. 3-4.

 

[Drako]

🙄

Watch the replay you freaking Canadian :|

 

[Drako]

The Sharks make enough moronic plays without BS penalty calls like that boarding call.

 

[Drako]

Wow, finally the Sharks get a call.

 

[Dominato3r]

And the zebra's end it! 😀

Good claw-back by Vancouver though.

 

[Drako]

At least I get to go to game 4. Watching this on Versus is painful 🙂

San Diego Sharks

 

[sandorski]

Defeat 🙁

Gave a great third period push though.

 

[Drako]

I just watched the McGinn hit again, and definitely not a Boarding penalty.

 

[sandorski]

🙄

Watch the replay you freaking Canadian :|

Why do Americans think that calling a Canadian "Canadian" is an insult?

He did deserve the 5, btw.

 

[Drako]

Defeat 🙁

Gave a great third period push though.

Yep, thanks to a bogus major penalty call. Well played though.

 

[Drako]

Canadian is an insult now? OK, thanks for that. 🙂

Edit: Canuck Canuck Canuck Canuck Canuck.

I just insulted you five times

Oh, and I've never seen a boarding call with two guys contacting back to back, but hey, it's just the playoffs.

 

[Dominato3r]

Calm down shork :|

Shoulder to shoulder. If anything, they could call it a 2 minute charging penalty.

41.1 Boarding – A boarding penalty shall be imposed on any player or goalkeeper who checks an opponent in such a manner that causes the opponent to be thrown violently in the boards. The severity of the penalty, based upon the degree of violence of the impact with the boards, shall be at the discretion of the Referee.
There is an enormous amount of judgment involved in the application of this rule by the Referees. The onus is on the player applying the check to ensure his opponent is not in a vulnerable position and if so, he must avoid the contact. However, there is also a responsibility on the player with the puck to avoid placing himself in a dangerous and vulnerable position. This balance must be considered by the Referees when applying this rule.

Got him blindside with a shoulder to the head.

McGinn didn't leave his feet, didn't hit him from behind. Seems like a pretty emotional response from the refs.

And, according to rule 41.1, the Canucks were boarding the Blackhawks all series long but it never got called.

Hitting a player into the boards is fine, but you can't do it if the player is in a vulnerable position. Eager's hit on Sedin was easily as bad and was major worthy, had it not have been for Sedin turning his back and putting himself in a more vulnerable position, thus the refs thought it was a minor.
