Throughout the past week there has been several controversial calls throughout the National Hockey League, including over three in the Toronto Maple Leafs game and a few during the Colorado Avalanche vs Dallas Stars.
Well, when the Dallas Stars faced off against the Colorado once again last night, the Avalanche dominated in a amazing fashion and won by a score of 4-1, but something else went noticed during the game.
A Colorado Avalanche player went down after taking a stick directly to his face, in quite the hard manner, it was clearly a penalty and it is called a penalty 99% of the time.
This instance fell in the 1% of the time, and no, not because the referee did not notice it.. it fell into the 1% of not being a penalty due to a made up rule, which was said for the first time ever and is drawing concerns to the officiating.
The referee stated the following:
''The play was killed due to an injury. There is no injury, no penalty.''
No injury, so no penalty? That is the first i hear of that EVER, Colorado fans and even the coach were left in disbelief, all they could do was smile as that's something that has never been said.
A high stick is a high stick, regardless if a player is injured or not, a players stick should not be at a players heads height, therefor a penalty is always called.
What were these refs thinking!?
