The stick hit him. And it's a natural reaction to jerk your head back when something comes close to your face like that.

It grazed his cheek, like a soft caress.

Then there's delayed, decided-on reaction to whip head backwards and play i'm-a-soccer-player idiocy.

embellished? maybe/probably

worthy of an embellishment penalty? No.

IMO those penalties should only be given out when it is very clear that embellishment was added. You have to give the player benifit of the doubt in these cases. At least that's how it would work in a perfect officiating world, which the NHL is nowhere near.

Sure, but he got hit in the face with a stick and wanted to get the call for it. It's not like he faked something that didn't happen.

Yeah, it didn't look like he oversold it in real time. You slow it down then yeah, it does look like he oversold it. Can't really tell if the stick hit him or not, either way, a stick comes up to the face area you are going to try to get out of the way. If anything the more questionable call would have been that charging call before that.

Should be a good next two games, I hope the fireworks come out on saturday.

gasp....

had to catch my breath, holy crap what a game.
THAT'S proof positive why I never count that team out until the final horn! They dominated the last ten minutes of the third and all of OT.

Funny thing is the next night they dominated NJ for the first period, but ended up down 1 to nothing. Then they turned it up again in the 3rd, but Brodeur was standing on his head.

Brodeur was hell bent on getting a win at the Joe. They must have reminded him about 20 times he hadn't won there since 1996.

I got my free Centre Ice back and started to watch the replay @ 11:30 but fell asleep after the first period. Bah!

I gotta comment on Mickey Redmond though... "Wow!" He must have said that at least ten times.

So you're saying he didn't follow Joe Vitale's instructions on how to not get caught by the refs?

Ohman... So Elaine Vigneault can badmouth Brad Marchand and not have to forfeit a dime. Torts spouts of about Sid & Malkin and gets hammered. WTG NHL...

Where's the fine for Clowe's interference from the bench last night?!

Fining a coach for criticizing another team is pretty stupid.
Yeah but I think the league is flexing their muscles again after Torts played the "It's fixed" card after the Winter Classic. *shrug*

I'm watching Phoenix absolutely spank St. Louis. Mike Smith is hot like fire! Possible 1st round match up and the shit just got real.
