Tor/Fla

[Russdv14]

I saw that embellishment penalty on Rodriguez. That guy got shoved against the boards. He put his gloves up to absorb the shock on the glass. I think that’s why they called it embellishment because then he went down to his knees

Quite a finish and Florida cannot do what Winnipeg did, but I will say that Toronto ice, the puck at least two or three times themselves .

the Florida players were very aggressive .
None of the Toronto players had as much room as Buchnevich had when he got the puck and iced that ! It’ll take a while to forget

[MiamiLaw]

Did anyone see the clear check from behind on Erod that was called an embellishment? And the announcers saying it was a clean hit?

Thats is a top flight horrid call

If you see the replay from behind the glass I believe he embellished a bit.

Shouldn’t have been called for it though

Do you think the hit itself was legal?

No it was a penalty that was, imo, embellished a tad

Fair enough. I’ll have to look at the other view you said re the embellishment

What are your thoughts on Jones? He looks gross to me

Yea that’s what I’ve been saying especially in person but then I saw this and thought maybe I’m crazy:

Seth Jones at 5v5 in round 1 vs Tampa Bay:

— 86:22 time on ice (2nd most on Panthers)
— 56.93 xGF% (most from a Panthers defenseman)
— on-ice for 0 goals against
— played primary against Kucherov & Point

I didn’t watch him much in round 1, but he’s been bad these 2 games

Looks like the Leafs are finally legit. My man Berube is gonna get himself another cup some season soon.

[smegma]

The play where a Tor player swiped the puck out of the crease with his hand, I thought there was some obscure rule that you would get called for. Did anyone else think the same?

[Russdv14]

I saw that play too. Maybe because he did not close his hand on the puck he could knock it away. I think the key was it was open handed.
I’ll copy part of the rule here and you can look up the rest of the rule yourself

Rule 618 | Handling Puck with Hands
(a) Play shall be stopped and a last play face-off shall occur anytime a player (except the goalkeeper) closes his hand on the puck and does not immediately drop the puck to the ice.
A minor penalty for delay of game shall be assessed to any player, other than the goalkeeper, who picks the puck up from the ice with his hand(s) while play is in progress.
