He skated towards Gaudreau who had the puck and after he passes it Komarov hits him. It's hockey. Plus I agree it looks worse because he's a small player.
bustaheims said:How far he traveled after the pass isn't the issue. It's how far he traveled in total, and it was well more than 10 feet. It was from the goal line to above the face-off circle. Also, the fact that he didn't go out of his way to make the hit doesn't change things, either. He traveled a significant distance to deliver a violent hit. That checks all the boxes necessary to justify a charging penalty. The refs decided not to assess one, and that's their decision, but it absolutely qualified for one.

McGarnagle said:I don't think it did. He was killing a penalty, and of course was on his way back up toward his zone to defend with the flames having possession. The key is that he doesn't go out of his way to make the hit, not that he "travelled a significant distance". Coming back up ice from deep in the offensive zone is irrelevant in assessing a charge in this case.

The rule as it is written specifically cites distance traveled as a factor, not whether or not a player went out of their way.

I'm surprised anyone is actually surprised. He's playing roughly as well as he did before he got to St Louis and got to play for a coach that employs one of the toughest defensive systems in the league. He was heavily insulated in St Louis.
McGarnagle said:Doesn't seem to be insulating Jake Allen quite so effectively this year.
