For a team we rarely play I dislike Winnipeg a lot.

[apace41]

Caps actually played well.  Won the first when they were fresh, fairly even in second and smoked in the 3rd when they were exhausted.

[Mickstix]

Oh well, hope for the best. Oshie didn't look TOO bad skating off. Hope they recover quickly..


Night night. 

[ArJunaZ]

I thought there should have been a penalty on the body slam on Oshie.

[Beaglefan2]

I thought there should have been a penalty on the body slam on Oshie.

Absolutely!  I don't understand why they didn't talk about that. First he grabs Oshie by the shoulder and turns him - which is always called as holding.  Then, just in case the ref missed that, he throws him to the ice!!!!  How in the world was that not a penalty?

That should have been a penalty, in fact I wonder if DOPS will look at that. In the post game show Carlin said that Matheson from Florida was suspended for a similar play where he threw a player to the ice. 
As for Kuzy injury, the hit didn’t look that hard but it was right on the chin.

a bright spot from last nights game...

for reference, the two game Matheson hit/takedown....

[Mickstix]

That's cool.. Anyone know if they skated today and if so, who was/wasn't on the ice? That hit reminds me of the hit Backstrom took from Bourque. Not the dirty part but the part where it didn't look like much, but turned into a bunch of missed games.

Caps are in Denver tomorrow night, I would think they are already there with the day off because of the travel

Morrisey gets an $8500 fine, no suspension. The take down of Oshie was far worse than what Matheson did, IMO. This league is a fukin joke...

Well then, why doesn't everyone who thinks the league is such a joke take off and never return?  I mean, why invest time in something that is so obviously rigged?

People are already doing that

[alta]

wow, it went from highly inconsistent to actually rigged. 

[Maacoshark]

wow, it went from highly inconsistent to actually rigged. 

   It sure looks that way.

[Mickstix]

And did I read right that Morrissey has "history"? Not sure why pro sports (most all of them) have such a problem with consistency? Should of been 4-6 games if they're going from the same play book they used to sentence Wilson. 

[PUCKNRUSH]

Original contact no problem. I agree with most here, it was the SLAM that was suspect.
I assumed they checked to see if Oshie suffered an injury, as DOPS states that is always a factor in the decision.
 I would like to have seen 1-3 games handed out. Worse though, is the damn low-ball fine!! $8500!!!
Hell, NHL, save your money? It costs more, just to process the story for the media! JEEZ!

Let me speak as a statistician for a moment .....


If the situation with discipline were "inconsistent" in some random fashion, that would correspond to variance in the random variable of the amount of consequence relative to a particular class of hockey infractions.  However, if the amount of consequence for a particular class of infractions is consistently different for some players than for others, that corresponds to the statistical concept of bias.  Bias is a much more insidious and provocative cause of error in statistics, because it is much more difficult to measure and compromises the integrity of statistics no matter how much one observes the phenomenon under consideration (whereas one can reduce variance by observing more cases).  Bias is also dangerous to the integrity, not just of statistics, but of the science of statistics itself, because people get the sense that "statistics are worthless."  Also, bias can creep into statistics not just because of natural phenomena that interfere in some consistent way with the measurement of a variable, but because someone is manipulating the data for his/her own purposes.

     Morrissey was suspended for cross checking vedic Staal in the face last playoffs. Bad thing about that he didnt even get a penalty on the play and later that game he assisted on the gwg.
     People here probably remember the Niskanen crosscheck on Crosby which got him 5 min, a game misconduct and a suspension. I thought the Morrissey crosscheck on Staal was a lot worse. The refs let it go. The league gave him one game.
