OFFICIAL GDT: PENS vs Capitals, 2/7/13

[columbia]

Who would have thought Ovi would be a ham and egger one day

Well he did just score...

[tfrizz]

Potash just reported Letang out with lower body injury.

Reese already cleared waivers this season so he can play 10 games or 30 days before having to go through waivers again.

[DontToewsMeBro]

Ugh.

[shafnutz05]

**** these refs

[Froggy]

garbage... such garbage

[Froggy]

garbage... such garbage

[Rocco]

I thought losing the mask meant play stopped automatically?

[DropEmJayBird]

It's amazing what the NHL allows other teams to do in front of the Penguins net.... hell its amazing what the penguins allow other teams to do in front of the Penguins net.

[eww7633]

HOLY CRAP. How can he make a save when his mask is off? That's total BS.

[Matthew Monstar]

Cool, because I'm sure that would be called a good goal FOR us. But against the Pens? Sure.

[FreeCandy44]

Dude really?

[DelPen]

Refs ignored two issues to stop play and waive off the goal. Horse ****.

[PghSkins]

Not big on official blame but how the f can that count????

[bigkam]

If you're not going to call the interference, what about no helmet/incidental contact blocking him from making a save? Really poor officiating there.

[iWonTheCup87]

so they dont call it dead when his mask comes off at least?

[shafnutz05]

Who would have thought Ovi would be a ham and egger one day

:pop:

Call me Nostradamus, mwahaha

[tfrizz]

Orpik knocked the mask off. His stick was up under the chin area of it and popped it right off Fleury's head.

[npv708]

I thought losing the mask meant play stopped automatically?

It does. At least that's what the rule says. Pens have been screwed over on the other side of that rule before, so its even more frustrating.

[Rocco]

Nevermind, apparently it's a judgment call and the refs can let the play go if there's a scoring opportunity, which makes sense.

[skullman80]

Not a good start

[Lt. Dish]

HOLY CRAP. How can he make a save when his mask is off? That's total BS.

Bourque said that Orpik's stick knocked off Fleury's mask.

[Gaucho]

Welp, Brooks at it again.

[npv708]

When a goalkeeper has lost his helmet and/or face mask and his team has possession of the puck, the play shall be stopped immediately to allow the goalkeeper the opportunity to regain his helmet and/or face mask. When the opposing team has possession of the puck, play shall only be stopped if there is no immediate and impending scoring opportunity. This stoppage of play must be made by the Referee. When play is stopped because the goalkeeper has lost his helmet and/or face mask, the ensuing face-off shall take place at one of the defending team’s end zone face-off spot
