I personally think that a player willingly turning to the boards should be exempt from a boarding call, but that was boarding as it is.
I dont have a problem with any of the calls so far.
that last moore call was TICKY TAK...you have to admit that...

Thorburn was doing everything he was supposed to be doing, and for whatever reason, O'Brien just decided to stop as if he was going to head back to the middle of the ice.

Moore pleaded his case but the infraction had already taken place. It's been called ALL YEAR LONG in EVERY game I have watched no matter who is playing. They can't wrap guys up like that anymore and every smart player is going to drop the arm to catch it allittle to make sure the ref sees it. If the guy didnt drop his arm maybe it would have been quick enough where he got away with it but he STILL DID IT. It was the right call, not ticky takky.

Actually, he wasn't. Whitney blows, but Therrien switched to a diamond because the Ducks were embarrassing us on the PP. Whitney was in position for the diamond.

He did. But he also put himself in position to suffer a pretty significant injury.

Continuing forward or chipping it out would have been the smart play, O'Brien is a 23 year old rookie.

So once the stick is in there...and the opposing player holds onto the stick to make it look more dramatic what is a player to do, just skate just straight to the box?

Looked to me that he wraped him him, you CANT DO THAT. You can't wrap your stick arm around the guy while he is skating away. Moore knew it too. It's interfernce everytime.

No player would intentionally put themselves in a position to get boarded, which could potentially end your career. He thought Thorburn would go past him, and he was wrong. It's a penalty.

Do Sid and Whitney have some deal going where they have to give each other a cross-ice feed in the attacking zone every game?
I mean, Whitney throws a nice cross-ice pass to Sid at the end of the PP, and then Sid inexplicably decides to throw one back. I'm kinda worried a little about Sid, to be honest. He's getting that "I don't wanna shoot" look about him again.
