Thank you to the Bowmanville Eagles for a well played game and showing your young fans what class and composure are all about. It is very difficult to hold it together when you have the likes of # 21 butt ending you before the puck has even dropped at the face off. The " Stars " put on a horrid display (not the ref as suggested by Matty B) that I feel is almost an embarassment to their coaching staff.
Keep up the good work Eagles !
Take your shaded glasses off and you might have seen some of those horrid calls in the last 4 minutes of the game. Jank made 3 calls that were not penalties and clearly your too bias to admit it. I never once stated the Stars were darlings and also gave Bowmanville credit for holding their composure. However, the way you protray the Stars is pretty damn funny. The game was very clean, but stuff was happening behind the play and it wasn't always those "dirty" stars doing the deeds.
You're the one with the "rose colored glasses". The Stars did not play their usual tight well disciplined game............they played like a bunch of sore losers. A disgusting display!
I heard Peterborough is protesting the first game of the series because of the delay of game penalty with less then 2 minutes left in the game. Peterborough I heard is stating it should have been a penalty shot.
If the protest is successful Would Peterborough be awarded a penalty shot then they replay rest of the game and overtime until there is a winner. Or would Peterborough get the win and then the series would be tied 1 - 1 ?
You caught me. I am a big Peterborough supporter, so much so that I have not seen the team play since they were the Junior B version? and named the Pete's. Actually that brings back some funny memories.
The frustration leaked out after those 4 calls were made and there was only 15 seconds left. What you describe as "disgusting" was some pushing and shoving with some attempts to draw the Eagles into some rough stuff. Lots of gloating from the Eagles to instigate, but no excuse to the Stars. However, I still would not consider those actions disgusting.
You seem to assume I am blaming Jank for a horrible reffed game, when I am blaming him for 4 minutes of bad reffing. You should also notice that I did not blame Jank for the outcome of the game. If you believe different then I suggest reading comprehension classes.
Sorry Pepsi nothing official just what the volunteers were saying.
The time I got to the rink the second time this evening the story has changed.
Apparently tomorrow night in Peterborough this is how things are going to go down.
Peterborough awarded the penalty shot.
Both Teams replay the time remaining in game 1. 35 seconds or so is what was said.
If teams are tied sudden death over time until a winner.
After the replay of Game 1 is over. Game 3 of the series will start and we're back to normal.
Official or not I don't know that's just the word going around the rink.
Peterborough vs Bowmanville may have a few more fans tomorrow evening as there was quite a few
people talking about going to the game. Could be a double header if Peterborough ties it up and it
goes into double or triple OT.
What are the price of tickets up there for the first round anyone know?
As far as the game sheet published either on or via Point streak, it wouldn't be the first time an electronic version was incorrect. As far as I know, the referee still counts the number of players prior to the start of the game and checks it against the paper copy of the game sheet that each team fills out. Perhaps I am wrong but isn't that paper copy the "official" game sheet?
A delay of game penalty with less than 2 minutes remaining should be a Penalty Shot. This is what Peterborough is probably protesting as there was a Delay of Game penalty well into the 19:00 minute mark of the third period.Interesting to see how this plays out!!
There are some subtle differences with regards to the wording and different interpretations. I don't have access to an on-line Hockey Canada Case Book Rule Book combination to refer to. Bottom line is the league is correct in their actions but I do think it should have been addressed prior to game 2.
