Come on, most fans by definition are not very objective. Your problem with Craig West is another matter but I have always found him to be very objective, especially in comparison to some of the announcers heard around the league. He will routinely state when a TC player got away with one that should have been called. And it happens quite often. I believe he had Drew Schonek with him that night and I don't know how he is in the booth.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with your fundraising for RMH. A worthy cause if there ever was one.<BR/><BR/>bsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761720971433980858.post-16440833145390969132009-02-10T09:26:00.000-08:002009-02-10T09:26:00.000-08:00Tyler, I agree.

I bet the T-birds bench didn't even argue the call.

I'm not really taking the referee Zalaski to task as much as I'm taking the Americans fans and their announcers for their perception of the penalty.<BR/><BR/>As people have pointed out, Parker had to sit out Sunday no matter what with the league offices not open on Sunday and I think the fact that no additional games were given to him beyond that speaks volumes to how they felt about the penalty.<BR/><BR/>Seen in real time... I can't necessarily fault Zalaski for calling it the way he did... I'm just saying it was the wrong call.Thunnexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13789566664956835210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761720971433980858.post-8258595099052457972009-02-10T09:17:00.000-08:002009-02-10T09:17:00.000-08:00My apologies on the reference to the Seattle annou...My apologies on the reference to the Seattle announcer.

He didn't say anything about charging until the referee called it charging. He didn't disagree after it was called charging but his initial comment was goaltender interference. He also said on Sunday's pregame show, after watching the video, that he thought it should only have been a goaltender interference penalty. Also, in Sunday's game, Calvin Pickard was run over and knocked backwards in the crease by a Giants player. Guess what the call was? Goaltender interference!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761720971433980858.post-23741948503427523522009-02-10T08:15:00.000-08:002009-02-10T08:15:00.000-08:00Tyler,I wonder how objective you would be if the s...Tyler,<BR/><BR/>I wonder how objective you would be if the shoe were on the other foot? You all have had the oportunity to watch the replay many times, I would guess, while the referee had one chance at it at game speed. And Zalaski has never shown himself to be a very good referee. His work Saturday evening was questionable both ways. Goaltender interference usually involves a bump or a slight impact, not an ass-over-tea kettle collision in the crease. I have not seen the replay so I can't comment on your opinions of the incident, but it sounds like the league saw it as you did and left it at 1 game. All of you have valid points about the intent to injure, 3 strides, etc. but when a goaltender is invloved the standard is a little different. Also, your announcer commented at the game he thought it was a charge. All I'm saying is game speed is a little different than watching on your laptop several times.<BR/><BR/>bsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761720971433980858.post-63915460761027732882009-02-09T22:29:00.000-08:002009-02-09T22:29:00.000-08:00For those that saw the video, Tom had commented on...For those that saw the video, Tom had commented on the web cast that the net did not come off the anchors. I can understand Pickard being shook up and/or hurt if he crashed into the net, and the net didn't give. Have to wonder if the league viewed it and decided that it was definately a two minute goaltender interference, and that any injury was in part due to the net not breaking away the way it should have.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761720971433980858.post-38341608037766547482009-02-09T17:21:00.000-08:002009-02-09T17:21:00.000-08:00So I just watched the archived game on WebTV and I...So I just watched the archived game on WebTV and I also must agree that Chet pushed out his let leg and he actually swiveled in that direction as well. Should Parker have gotten a penalty? Absolutely! Should it have been a 5 and a GM? Hell no. League proved today that I still don't need glasses.<BR/><BR/>I so agree with you on the announcers btw. I'm trying to figure out when they will get a clue and have the away team broadcasting for WebTV considering the odds are more likely if you are paying for the stream it's because you aren't able to travel with your team.
