I know Kovalev shouldn't have given up after beeing slashed in the playoffs but not having a penalty on that play was awful

The thing with that is if Boston would not have score on that and Kovalev would have comeback and score the winning goal. Instead of being a zero, he would have been an hero. I don't think his moves frustrated the people, it's the consequence that have come with it that frustrated the fans and the others. Sorry for my english.

Kovalev still had great playoffs with Koviu and Zednik

Anyone want to host them for me? The one I have with Kovalev is 9.1 mb (mpg and from broadstreetbully.com) I really hope I can post these here to show you guys this clip from when he got slashed playing with NY. It has to be the pussiest thing I have ever seen in hockey.

Awful refereeing? That tap on the gloves is something that happens hundreds of times a game. To have called a penalty on that play would have been a travesty.

I may agree, but how do you call refs. that don't call hooking?

And what does that question have to do with anything?

I mean a guy that always hook is cheating as much as Kovalev is cheating when he dives to try to make the referees call a penalties.

[Eazy_b97 1]

A dive happens maybe once a game, where there are literally 100 hooks a game. In addition to the numbers there are varying types of hooks, some take away scoring chances, others are sticks missing. To call every one will have people shorthanded the entire game. I think they should be called more, but you cannot call everything that boarders on being illegal. You have to leave room for incidental and minor contact. There's no way, playing at the level you do, you can honestly say you've never hooked someone.

I hook a lot when I play but it's because everyone is hooking so I try to take advantage of it. It's why I try to get bigger and stronger, to do my way in the hooking.

You're right, the refs can't eliminate all the hooks but they can certainly call more.

If you're getting hooked, you skate through it, you don't fold like origami. If you take a chop, you either chop back or keep playing, not act like you've been shot. I have absolutely no respect for the divers and embellishers of hockey.

I have no problem with the ref calling it every time a guy hooks another player. If you're too lazy or slow to use body position and you use the stick, go sit in the box. The game would get a lot more entertaining.

Eventually people would have to adapt, but I wonder how it could be implemented. Now that a "stick slash" is considered a "slash", what does hooking come into. Lifting the stick? Hooking his stick? I'd assume that they wouldn't be called. I have no problems going all of the way and eliminating hooking all together, but I honestly don't mind it when you have the puck. As long as your able to keep control and it doesn't cause you to loose a scoring chance, fall down or knock you off the puck. Away from the puck is another story though.

Hooking a guy with the puck can easily prevent him from creating a scoring opportunity, I'd love to see any hook to a person called. I get called all the time for hooking a stick and it drives me nuts, so I'd prefer to see stick checks to still be legal. I tend to get the stick up by the hands and it looks like I get them in the arms when they flail around.

Huh????

[Eazy_b97 1]

technically, if you slash a guys stick, its considered a slash. You see it called alot when a stick breaks, but regionally, anytime where you come down on the guys stick is a penalty. So infront of the net you couldn't lift a stick or keep it down.

I would like to play in a game where absoloutely no offenses were committed. I think it would be an entirely differen't game. Can't really say good or bad, but it would definately created more goals.

I don't know where you play your hockey but around here lifting a guy's stick with your own or leaning on a guy's stick with your's in front of the net isn't a penalty.

[Eazy_b97 1]

I am saying that if slashing a stick is considered a slashing penalty, wouldn't hooking a guys stick either up in the air or under his body also be constituted as a hook?

It's not implemented like that, hooking isn't at least, but the slashing penalty is.

Hooking generally isn't a violent act, slashing is. Ergo the differing enforcement criteria. I love when a guy starts bitching when I send him to the box and his first words are "but it was only a little slash."

Hooking is the act of using the stick in a manner that enables a player to restrain an opponent.

(NOTE) When a player is checking another in such a way that there is only stick-to-stick contact, such action is not to be penalized as hooking.

Taken straight out of the rulebook.
