If you make contact with an official, purposely, it certainly won't.. :wackysmile:
Who's ready for tonight?? (THIS GUY) :uh-huh: Prolly have to catch most of it on tape tho.. :raised-eyebrow:
alta:
Kane got a three day vacation, he and Kuzy can talk about it
richkrt99:
I pretty much agree with everything Rush said...
I hate what the announcers had to say...they have no idea what the linesman was thinking so how the F can they say anything about it. (just imagine what they'd "imagine" Wilson was thinking if he were the one involved in this)
Looks like the trip was accident and if KANE was not being a bad boy, none of it would've happened,
And most importantly....
Can't push/hit a ref no matter what. Kane should know better.

L need to be more responsible, and even have a modicum of responsibility when “stopping” fights, particularly with the seemingly at any cost.
While yes, tackle is a stretch, the linesman went overboard to stop a fight. Particularly when one wasn’t a “non-fighter”. Which is on him/the NHL.
That being said, ya can’t have players throwing haymakers at refs either, and Kane knows better.
However, grabbing a fistful of jerseys and a saying a few words is a far cry from “abuse”. All things considered, the Game Misconduct should of been enough and NHL marketing didn’t need to get involved,

I’ll grant you, DC, that a fight would have happened. I’m totally with ya, on letting dudes scrap when they want to. I also like officials to have a general attitude of “let em go at it”, for a variety of good reasons!
And, like you, I agree the NHL has interfered so badly, trying to soften the game, and, of course, you know, I completely reject their attempts to do so! Total WUSSIFICATION, I always say!!👍
The difference here, bro, for me, is that the ref didn’t just stop a fight in a vacuum! There was A LOT that occurred, in an instant, just prior to the refs actions to prevent a fight, i.e., restraining Kane, and such.
Kane got caught red-handed, and by surprise, when the back of an officials legs, suddenly came between Kane’s attempted cheap shot, with his stick, intended for the Vegas guy!
Talk about an “OOPS...OH SHIT”, moment, for Kane!😂🤣😂
These little cheap shots are done all the time in the NHL, with the initiating players intentions, to be out of the officials view! Hell, they often try to TIME IT, so that it’s out of the refs sight line, completely, to be sure! BUT....
When fights start, normally, in the NHL, the officials haven’t been STRUCK by a stick, just prior, and are usually some distance away, give or take. So the fight starts, uninterrupted in that case!
When they DO get interrupted by an official, prematurely, it pisses me off too!
As far as the ref grabbing Kane’s jersey, well brother, this is one where I’ll have to claim a disagreement with you, that’s worth, at least, a “two vodka shots, head start”, on you, if you’re still comin by this weekend!!😂🤣😂
I figured you might give the ref some props for gettin physical!! 😂 I mean, we see officials, all the time, in head locks, arm and shoulder locks, leg locks, etc, with players!! (Just playin w/ya, buddy)!!
(BTW, DC, while my mind is on it, if you could let me know by Friday, about this weekend, for Saturday, I’d appreciate it. Either I’ll come up, or you down!
Don’t forget my two shot, head start, buddy! (I have a feeling, Sunday morning may be a bit ROUGH)!😁😆

Trotz is a dick, but I do love that he is one of the few, maybe only coaches that calls the refs and officials out
