Disagree.  You can't crumple like a bag of potato chips from some little shove.  It's not like his back was to the guy.  He was trying to carry the puck out and was shoved from the side.  That play was a real bad look for Iorio.

So I agree this was NOT a horrible hit and that Iorio needs to protect himself better, however, it definitely could have been called boarding based on where the player was (4' from the boards) and the onus is on the attacker NOT to hit the player and put him into a dangerous position.  The first line of the NHL Boarding rule pretty well applies to this hit:

(Note) Boarding is the action where a player pushes, trips or body checks an opponent causing them to go dangerously into the boards. This includes: Accelerating through the check to a player who is in a vulnerable or defenseless position and driving an opponent excessively into the boards with no focus on or intent to play the puck, or any check delivered for the purpose of punishment or intimidation that causes the opponent to go unnecessarily and excessively into the boards.     The onus is on the player delivering the check to avoid placing a vulnerable or defenseless opponent in danger.
(a) A minor plus a misconduct or major plus game misconduct penalty shall be assessed for boarding an opponent.     “Rolling” an opponent along the boards where he is attempting to go through too small an opening is not considered boarding.
(b) A major plus game misconduct penalty shall be assessed to any player who recklessly endangers an opponent as a result of boarding.
(c) A match penalty for reckless endangerment may also be assessed for boarding.

Similar to the Jensen hit. Bad time/place but nothing egregious, imo. Those boards are dangerous. You have to be aware and do what you can to not take a tumble head/shoulder first, if at all possible. Still haven't heard anything more on Iorio, other than what I posted in the bored thread. (Heard he said "it popped" as he went past the bench hunched over)


And yes Beags, had that been Wilson he'd of probably got a major and review. That's the NHL we have these days.

I still don't get that there has been no discussion of what I thought was a nasty boarding of Iorio.  That could easily, and in my opinion should bave been a 5 minute major and a hearing on a suspension.  Iorio has a couple feet from the boards and leaning and the guy pushed him headfirst - that could have ended really badly.


I hate to use the "if that had been Tom Wilson" thing, but it is a fair comment in this case, and if it had been Wilson, there is no question in my mind he would have been penalized, thrown out of the game and suspended.

I don't think it's lack of effort either. Like Hillbilly said, they just couldn't/can't. We need good things to happen to compete. Someone needs a snipe or a lucky break to get us going, then we can stall and keep it close, hope Charlie stands on his head and hopefully come out on top. But we don't have any firepower to "make" something happen.

Oshie, love his effort, but his coordination has fallen off a cliff. He can't hang onto the puck at all anymore, even worse than Ovi. Ovie's hit or miss. Wilson has gone missing for a long time now. Paci never showed up, outside of a few games when he first got healthy enough to play and even then didn't put anything in the net. And that's our "star" power..

Hate to say, but Carlson is the only star caliber player doing his job. Good on him! 

Just gotta hope and pray the kids take another step in the offseason or it'll be another year of fucks and god dammits. Hoping for a lucky bounce and headstands tonight!!  :cross:

Lest ye not forget...the game was in NY...for some reason the refs ALWAYS favor the Rags in NY during the playoffs.
Think its only ever been worse in a few SHittsburg series than vs NYR in NY
To me I dont think it was total lack of effort.  Some yes, but they just looked gassed.  It's not that the would not compete, but that they could not compete.
Still..you got to get up for the big games.


What a load of bollocks luv!   We played like a herd of three legged donkeys.

This is fine, as long as it’s consistent, and consistently enforced on both teams.


I used to watch rounders a lot. There were umpires behind the plate that were very inconsistent during a game. What was a strike in the 1st inning wouldn’t be by the 4th, but would be again by the 7th. Those umps had very thin skin when called out on it.
