(Video) Sharks and Leafs blown Call - Tommy Wingels No Goal



Last night, San Jose Sharks forward Tommy Wingels fell victim to the infamous intent to blow the whistle by the referee call. In my opinion, this is a horrible call. Looks like it should have been a goal.
Situation Room Blog --- At 9:37 of the first period in the Toronto Maple Leafs/San Jose Sharks game, the Situation Room initiated a video review because the puck entered the Toronto net. The referee informed the Situation Room that he was in the process of blowing his whistle to stop play while the puck was under James Reimer's body in the crease. According to Rule 78.5, apparent goals shall be disallowed "when the Referee deems the play has been stopped, even if he had not physically had the opportunity to stop play by blowing his whistle." This is not a reviewable play therefore the referee's call on the ice stands - no goal San Jose.

No hearing for Zdeno Chara for his hit on Tommy Wingles



Last night, Boston Bruins defenseman Zdeno Chara put this high hit on Sharks forward Tommy Wingels at the 02:28 mark of the first period. Today, the National Hockey League said that Chara will not face any additional supplemental discipline for his high hit on the Sharks forward. Is there a double standard? I guess that's up to the fans and pundits to decide. In this case, my star player theory does seem to carry some merit.

Joe Meloni of Stanley Cup of Chowder has an interesting take on the matter. I thought after seeing the hit that Chara would get suspended for a game, based on some of the hits that have garnered a suspension so far this season.
