Kane is to have a hearing for the boarding call. :huh:
Did anyone see this? I saw it. They gave him a two minute, then got together and discussed and gave it a 5 minute boarding call (I think). As much as I hate Kane....this was NOT worthy of 5 minutes. He taps Kadri across the back and he fell into the boards. Go back and watch it. Yes, Kane cross checked him across the back with a push. Yes it was somewhat near the boards and Kadri fell onto the ice and into the boards. It was not a crushing blow from behind riding him face first into the glass. It was a push from behind - completely stupid and worth a penalty. But not 5. Not worth reviewing. The five minutes could have very well cost Edmonton the game, but they managed to survive it. - many good stops by the GT (who would fail them later)
Killing off the penalty kept them in the game.
My problem is every announcer immediate started lobbying for a major penalty. I watched the same play they did and I disagree. Yes worth a penalty, but there was no violence in it - he didn't drive the guy into the boards, he just pushed him.
They really do want to try and take all the physical play out of the game :'(
If it had been Patrick Kane, I would have thrown the book at him, the dirty little shit. Evander Kane however... I think he's a gritty player, but I don't see him as going out of his way to cause any actual damage.

On a different note.......
The pageant today was........ Very British! :lmao:
Hilarious and the essence of us.
From incredible artistry, pupetteering and performance, inclusion and diversity, to Pru Leith's car breaking down on The Mall, dancing strawberries and James Bond cars, driven by the original stunt drivers, to naughty Corgis and Del Boy's yellow car. ALL LIVE.
FABULOUS DARLINGS. JUST FABULOUS!
Mad, glad and proud. :snicker: British eccentricity at it's absolute best!
I would encourage any and all of you to watch it. You don't have to be a fan of our monarchy, or any other for that matter, but if you want to have good giggle and to turn that frown upside down.. This would be it. ;D
Hilarious, uplifting, totaly bonkers and .. well... totally us.
:clap: Well done, all involved. Stunning!
I am SO proud to be British right now. :wackysmile:

Oh one of the anecdotes that came up was when the Obama's came over. Apparantly nobody is allowed to drive the President other than the CIA??? The Queen insisted she would pick them up herself. (The only person allowed to drive in the UK who doesn't have a driving licence)
I think that's the only time that has ever happened. :raspberry: :raspberry: :raspberry:
:snicker:
The Obama's were instructed where to sit. Then, her Maj said to them, "Sit where you like. Sit where you feel comfortable"
Surreylily:
Okay. This long weekend is done.
Back to what is left of the hockey.
