Status of Footer & Pegs?

[oceanst41]

The hit happened right in front of my seats. As stated before Pegs lost control of the puck and cut to his left towards Section A. He curled back to attempt a pass to the middle of the ice. After the puck was gone, and Pegs was in a vulnerable position, Abdelkader buried him into the boards. Definitely not checking from behind, but his arms were up around Pegs' head, and that is what drove his mask into the boards probably cutting him. What's more Abdelkader definitely gave him a little one for the road as he got up to skate after the play.

Probably would've been called if Feola saw it, but you never know. I find it really hard to be comfortable with an after the fact call even though there was a lot of blood. It's no wonder the names aren't printed on the back of the refs' jerseys anymore. ::screwy::

 It is likely what happened.  Feola of course did not see the play and basically just guessed what had happened.  If MSU hadn't been leading by 2 goals at the time, no way does he make any sort of call.  I personally didn't see the play and it may have warranted a 5 and a game, but my point is that Feola never saw it and didn't put his arm up at any point, signalling a penalty.[/q]

One further piece of never-saw-it evidence is that the whistle didn't blow until long after the hit, even though MSU took the puck and carried it down the ice into our zone.

And when the two refs disagree we can have them duke it out. It'll be excellent! :-)

I think most refs have a policy of not disagreeing ;-)

Spoke to a friend, Pegs is alright. Carefoot has a groin injury and will miss this weekend's games, but should be back against Sucks.

Thanks, Pace.

I wonder if that "groin injury" is the modern version of the diagonal rule of injuries.   ::nut::

It made for a great Snickers commercial several years back.
