Avalanche Awarded 9-Minute Powerplay After Ryan Reaves' Match Penalty & Double Minor 

Acting like? lol

LOL! He ain't acting, he is

Or should be

Beer leagues don't have enforcers. Good joke.

I played in beer league we only had 2 or 3 lines!

Yeah that’s like 4-0 in a football game

You and me both! I've been watching hockey since the mid 60's when I lived in Boston and that's a first for me. Just when you think you've seen it all, eh?

Is this a new thing that is possible? I don't watch as much hockey as I used to, but as I was only half paying attention last night all of a sudden I look up and see more than 8 minutes of power play I was really confused. I thought only 2, 4, or 5 minutes were possible. Has this always been possible but is just so rare, or has there recently (in the last 15 or 20 years counts as recent for me :D ) been a change that allows this kind of stacking of penalties to make a super long power play?

@@kentmartin9289 5 min game misconduct + 4 min double minor for highsticking for a total of 9 min pp

There used to be a 10-minute match penalty that could be called... a player would get a 5-minute match for intent to injure that didn't injure, and 10 minutes if it did. I think the 10-minute variety was removed from the rulebook back in the '90's maybe?

The Wild almost got past Vegas. Aves will steamroll Vegas. Coming from a wild fan. They had to chance against CO. Too fast, too big and they really don't have any one hurt.

@@dsm091 lol

Vegas probably remembered that.

ya me 2.i've watched it 4evr & i'd nevr heard of such a long pp.it's such a bizarro x in hockey 2.

That’s why I clicked the video

Bingo!

I think back in 2013 the refs awarded a 9 minute 5 on 3 for LA against the Canucks. It was the craziest thing I’ve ever seen and that spelt the beginning of the end of the Canucks golden era.

Hmmmm ya gotta wonder?........ Why Reeves then?

at this point the game was already over

100% my Blues beat them in the regular season by staying off the PP, we actually outscored them 5on5. During the playoffs though it was a different story.

We can throw down as well. We just got eyes on the Stanley Cup.

That wasn't what this was about.

You’re an idiot.

@@hobinrood710 Wasn't Reaves standing?

@@cmsilver8906 One knee was on the ice.

Crosscheck the goalie in the back of the head? No, I believe that's an automatic point deduction.

Torres was suspended for less. Dude needs to.be banned from the league.

If he doesn’t get suspended I don’t know what worth a suspension

It's not Parros. He's only a figurehead with no real power. Shanahan already said the Office of Player Safety is complete BS. It's just another office run by Colin Campbell as Director of Hockey Operations. OPS, is not about protecting players as the name suggests. It's about protecting the league.

Definitely deserves an indefinite suspension at the least, they shouldn't bring him back til next season. Just a disgrace to the sport.

With instant video replay, the referees should have given Graves a 5 minute major penalty and a game misconduct for his interference hit on Jannmark, a key offensive player for Vegas. The referees got it wrong. As a result, Reaves resorts to intentionally injuring Graves when, if the referees had kicked Graves out of the game, we would not have this problem. Referees have to enforce boarding, charging, and interference. They are not doing it so the players are doing the punishment.

Interesting to see what it will be. I feel like they called that a match because the player looked injured but then he was on the bench a minute later. Weird. I bet 2-3 games

really scary to see a hockey player stay down, especially in a situation where they'd likely be angry.

That wasn't part of old time hockey and certainly isn't part of hockey today. There should be message sent to all of the other players like Reaves that that gets you kicked out of the league, although I can't think of another player that would do such a thing. His NHPLA membership needs to be stripped and his man card needs to be torched. Can you imagine being a Golden Knight player and having this huge distraction for Game 4 and not wanting to defend him?
