Again, I'm not saying he just flopped to the ground on purpose, but I do think..

..that a player as experienced and tough as Pavelski is accustomed to getting a cross-check like that after winning a faceoff in the opponent's zone, so his animated reaction appeared - to me - to be an attempt to sell it and try to get his team a desperately needed power play.

Two points about Vegas Golden Knights and Sharks in Game 7 last night...

Well said.

4/24/19 8:05am

Flopped? After Eakin cross-checked him he was shoved down again by Stastney.

4/24/19 8:11am

I think he’s referring to the initial response to the cross check where Pavs

4/24/19 8:14am

The first reaction was not a flop either. Nearly every player loses their

I know. Just not buying it because that's not the player Pavelski is. He was

4/24/19 8:16am

My friend from Canada was watching and called it a flop that turned sour

You sir are not being objective if you genuinely believe Pavelski flopped???

4/24/19 8:15am

Consider the context of the play. Sharks are down 3-0, time running out on...

CougaReb

4/24/19 8:57am

Nope. Not a flop. Been watching him play for years.

4/24/19 7:49pm

I’d put the blame for the loss at 30 percent refs 70 percent knights

Josef K

4/24/19 8:16am

I don't disagree with this at all. The Knights blew a 3-1 series lead and a....

CougaReb

4/24/19 8:52am

I thought I had seen every excuse until now, calling Pavelski a flopper?

JohnnyComeLately

4/24/19 8:21am

Seriously. What a bad take by the OP.

4/24/19 8:58am

Eakin's goal made it 2-0.

4/24/19 9:08am

Yep, that was a typo. It was 3-0 when the penalty happened. Regardless, that

4/24/19 9:11am

I said this last night, but the NHL really needs to put cameras in the glass

4/24/19 9:13am

I said it would come back based on two of the replay angles, but the one from

4/24/19 9:16am

There's no blood on the ice if Pavs didn't get hit in the mouth in game 1.

4/24/19 9:15am

I’m no Pavelski fan, but he didn’t flop there

The Chelsea Dagger

This person says that by rule, a cross-check that results in injury is a major

4/24/19 8:23am

Wrong. He’s quoting USA hockey rule not the NHL.

4/24/19 8:25am

This is not true. Here's the NHL Rulebook definition. Note the distinction...

CougaReb

4/24/19 9:17am

Die Hard VGK fan...and you are wrong. He did not flop, (maybe flailed a bit)

4/24/19 8:29am

4 min double minor based on blood would have been better call IMO.

JohnnyComeLately

4/24/19 8:32am

I've never heard of a "double minor." In those cases, does one of the minor

StarMan

4/24/19 8:36am

It looks like Pistol Shrimp answers my question below. Thx

StarMan

4/24/19 8:38am

It’s conceptually 2 2-min minors in a row. If a goal is scored during the first

The Chelsea Dagger

4/24/19 8:51am

This would have been the right call. At most would have resulted in 2 goals even

4/24/19 8:37am

Yep, 2 goals and momentum. Maybe sharks get the third who knows.

JohnnyComeLately

4/24/19 8:50am

As I’ve said in other threads, 4-min double minor would be my preferred call

The Chelsea Dagger

4/24/19 8:54am

They would have to call a high stick in that case, because cross-checking

The Chelsea Dagger

4/24/19 8:38am

Well they did tell Gallant it was a stick to the head, so maybe they should have

4/24/19 8:42am

Yeah refs believed it was a cross check to the face that caused the injury.

JohnnyComeLately

4/24/19 8:48am

In real time, unfortunately, the refs didn't see it. Watch the ref's head after

4/24/19 8:53am

That’s the linesman he can’t call penalties.

JohnnyComeLately

4/24/19 8:58am

Right, but none of the refs called it real time, and it was only after they

4/24/19 9:08am

The guy next to the play doesn't have the ability to call a penalty regardless.

JohnnyComeLately

4/24/19 9:46am

I'm sorry the Flames lost, too, but I don't know that you can really compare the

4/24/19 9:57am

You cant compare the Pavelski penalty with the Saints and Rams no call.

JohnnyComeLately

4/24/19 10:05am

Also, if they see something they believe to be a major, they are required

I'm not saying that he simply jumped up and landed on his head on purpose; I...

Not a Knights or Sharks fan, but I don’t think Pavelski flopped.

You should just stop trying bro. He didn’t flop.

4/24/19 7:57pm

I agree it was a weak call... but you don't have to melt down and allow 4 pts!

4/24/19 8:35am

Agree on all counts. Unfortunate/incorrect call followed by inspired Sharks'...

CougaReb

Sirius NHL talk shows this morning (Ch. 91) were very upset about the call.

4/24/19 10:15am

He didn't flop, but it also wasn't a dirty play. Just an accident. It happens.

As i sharks fan i can admit it was a bad call. But a flop is hilarious and

4/24/19 1:37pm

They have replay, just not for penalties. Only goaltender interference, high

4/24/19 1:40pm

sorry I meant for situations like this haha. i'll edit. Agreed on the penalty

4/24/19 1:41pm

No worries. I feel the same way about replay actually. Posted it last night
