Falls in line with the rest of the shit calls refs seem to be making this year. I know there’s always complaining about bad calls but something about this season…

So we’d rather him what? Morph through him and sit down in the stands?
HaroldBaws
Where was he supposed to go?
bearwhidrive
Can’t hit the Very Special Boy’s brother, I guess.

Siegenthaler pushed him, the fuck? Thought Torts was about to jump over the boards.

I’m sorry I thought this was hockey.

Hathaway is a punk but a major that was not.

He gets a little push from the devils guy too.

The whistle blew while the hit was happening, refs realize they messed up and then make situation worse. This is beyond ridiculous, can we just clean house on anyone in the NHL that deals with rules/safety?
elsombroblanco
Don’t they have video replay to fix bad calls? Wtf are the refs doing
Just_a_dude_online
Can we all agree the refs have been super shitty this year??
RandyIsHim
Not worth a 5 or a misconduct the hit was clean
JerbearCuddles
It sucks that Luke Hughes got hurt, but come on man. Hit was by all rights pretty clean. If anything you call the icing earlier. And if you watch, you can see Sieganthaler push Hathaway into Hughes. Absolutely brutally bad call. And I say that as someone that is a fan of the Hughes brothers.

Unless this is an icing call this is soft AF.

2 minutes sure whatever. Sent the dude flying close enough for his momentum to take him hard into the boards. It’s a bit borderline but I’d understand 2.
But 5? Are they high?
Tequilacowboybouncer
These Hughes bros can’t catch a break with the boards and their shoulders lately

Zebra: *watches a man slap another with a hockey stick* 😴
Also zebra: *watches clean hit with big size difference* 😱😱😱😱

They changed the rule specifically for this…Call the icing when you are supposed to and we wouldn’t be having this happen….refs made the call because they knew they messed up…typical ref logic
Fedbackster
Was it an icing?
NeonBlack985
Fucking garbage call
shanster925
Intent to injure….on the refs, that is
Sr_Raisin_bran
Did the refs have knee pads ? They do alot of blowing

Not a league
sizzlinskillet
That’s a bad call
Aggravating-Truck829
Bad call he got pushed by the other guys team mate, typical call though prissiest get hurt and even if your not in the wrong arm goes up cause refs rely on the aftermath to make a call

When stars get hurt it’s a penalty and a suspension. When superstars do illegal things and injure players (e.g. Tkachuck) no penalty or suspension, simple as that. NHL only cares about advertising revenue. The game of hockey is secondary.

Horrible call
TakoyakiGremlin
the nhl must tell the refs to fuck up to some degree just to keep things interesting lol
Bigstinker7777
That’s soft
rickzaki
Do the refs get fined for blowing a call like this and resulting an injury.
JohnnnyRiingo
Y tho.
mortycakes
I don’t like the hit but that’s the refs fault big time
OhmyGhaul
How is it that every hit on this guy = game misconduct
keepten
BS call
ChoirTeacherRog
I’m a Pens fan and even I feel bad for the Flyers on that call
Sway580
Is it me or are the refs blowing a lot of calls this year. I know it’s always happening but this year seems egregious.
MyOtherCarIsAHippo
He does not need to finish his check that way. He seems to know contact is coming and could have just wrapped him up. He chose to be Garnet Hathaway.
jpatt05
Fuck man the refs are the worst I’ve ever seen. Those betting agencies though
Effective-Pin1707
Gary Bettman’s fault for these terrible officials. Everything wrong with the NHL is his fault!! FIRE BETTMAN!!!

Can we place bets on what shit calls a ref will make during a game?
weezeloner
I’m way too new at this to definitely say what type of punishment this merits but I feel like there are a few factors that should have been considered before levying what seems to me to be a severe penalty.
1. The Flyers player is clearly pushed right before the contact
2. The Devils player who got hit is most definitely letting up and somehow completely oblivious to the fact that a giant brick wall of a man was bearing down on him. He made no attempt to protect himself in that situation and that made the hit so much harder.
3. Again, I am no expert on the reputation of the Flyers player. If that is Tom Wilson or anyone like him then I may have a harder time accepting my assertions at 1 and 2.

Idk why Luke Hughes thinks he can get away going into the corners or by the boards and expecting to not get hit. This is the second time in what 3 games. Where he goes in expecting to get the puck but gets crushed. Wtf. Learn a lesson before it ends you.
Whether it’s penalty or not or even worth a five I don’t know. But the lack of awareness will end his career.

Brutal call
These zebras are fucked
Tortellini is gonna burst
