it has always been officiated in that manner imo. If you ran the guy with continuous steps from a distance then that was considered charging. So what you can line a guy up coming across the middle with any kind of speed or you get charging. Dan Marourelli was on CBC talking about changing it in the future due to speeds the guys carry but says it has always been officiated by the 2-step gliding rule regardless of what you can pull up from the rulebook online. Eyeball test I would think most people couldn't say otherwise.

Thornton's was a clear penalty according to the rulebook, unless I'm an idiot (possible). The charge was too harsh...should have just been 2. Luckily the powerplay so far has been ass, so who cares.

I'd be pissed if I was a Sharks fan just because charging is called so arbitrarily that you really have no idea what will be called anymore.

Fraser laying down the law. It's a charge, it's a penalty, T posted the rule and looking at the play then the rule it's 5+a game.

The excuses of "it's a tied playoff game with only 3 minute left" to not make the right call? That's what we're falling back on?

Pretty much guarantees the Kings reach OT. Kind of a big deal.

definitely a charge, it's a tough call to make, but give him the penalty that's okay.

what the **** is that King doing though. yes it's a penalty but protect yourself, I don't give a **** if it's a penalty or not, don't duck out of a hit, you're asking for it

don't reply to this saying "does that make the hit okay?" no it doesn't but look out for your own ****ing head, for the love of God

Of course. It was a weak attempt by me to justify a ****ty call that benefited my adopted team.

i dont see how the thornton call is good at all. look at it again, the guy literally lifts thorntons stick into his team mates face. i dont get how thats a penalty at all.

LA already has derived 2/3 of there offensive production from the powerplay this game. Its a big deal because the sharks penalty kill is mediocre, 21st in the reg season iirc.

On a separate note, I think I've found part of the Kings' problem.

I was looking up where Alec Martinez is from, and I found this:

"Martinez spent his early years playing hockey in Northern California for the Santa Clara Blackhawks and San Jose Jr. Sharks."

This is the excuse the refs have been making all playoffs obv... how else can you explain the whistles sitting in their pockets all post season?

AJ, the rulebook doesn't say anything about if another player knocks up your stick--it only talks about crap like 'being in control of your own stick' and that if it hits another player, it's a penalty. Sucks, but that's how it has always been called, afaik.

Also, of course the penalty matters! Hell, I'd rather have the Sharks kill this so the Kings can win at regular strength. And this particular power play has been ass, not all.

Players are less likely to take penalties and hold/hook less in the playoffs. Most penalties called are hooking/holding, they are called less also because they actually happen less often.

T is right, no one calls charges anymore. But this was a very blatant one, and was called. Just because there aren't 15 powerplays every playoff game doesn't have much of an impact on this specific situation.

I want the Kangzzz to win so penalty was fine with me. I just think they are continually making this league a ****ing joke and are taking way too much of the physicality out of the play. I don't think that is called a penalty 15 years ago.
