This is a RARE penalty in the NHL



This is a RARE penalty in the NHL

In a game that was scheduled to be played last night but yeah snow had other plans in Buffalo tonight the Blackhawks did come into Buffalo in a game where we had 10 different penalties from holding crosschecking tripping and a controversial 5minute boarding call which we’ll get to but we also saw a

Penalty you very rarely see in the NHL so let’s get to it after an opening period that really didn’t have a lot to write home about some good stops on both ends with Buffalo out shooting the Hawks 13 to4 keeping solder Bloom busy he was kicking out pucks left and right but

Ultimately no goals meant that after 20 it was a clean sheet so heading over to the second just 3 minutes in and Dalene would get called for roughing not a whole lot here with the extra push but he would take a seat now no harm no foul

As the Sabers did a good job to kill it off but right as his two minutes was set to expire darene comes out of the box and immediately he’s called called again now did you catch it watch closer as he steps out of the box he plays the puck

Before both skates are back on the ice now many may not know this and you certainly don’t see it every day but this is a penalty Matt Barelle is very aware or he is now at least because he did the same thing in his very first

Game in the NHL playing the puck before he was fully out of the box and he got sent right back in after getting the explanation before him though 10 years ago Ryan Carter did playing the puck before both skates were on the ice a year later it was douge Hamilton he got

Busted doing it and Patrick Kane also once did it but as you can see from Kane’s reaction asking what the call was this isn’t always common knowledge not even among players but thanks to scouting the refs for this under rule 56.2 should a player about to come onto

The ice play the puck while one or both skates are still on the players or penalty bench a minor penalty for interference shall be assessed pretty cut and dry this technically is an interference call so back in the Box in record time darene went with that said

The sabes again did a good job to kill it off and were no worse for where and so after a few good stops on both ends just past the Midway point of the game Johnson puts it on net and finally breaking the ice with his fourth of the

Year it’s gearson in front nice little redirect to open up the scoring and that was actually about it for the second so we’ll head over to the third and final frame where 3 minutes in petka from below the goal line he scores a pretty one here as petka uncontested finds the

Daylight off solder Bloom for his 14th of the year as the Sabres were now up by a pair and that then gets us to this Johnson behind his own net and kachev puts him into the boards as Johnson stayed down a bit of a scrum would ensue

After which Johnson was not happy as kachev would end up getting called for a 5-minute boarding major which meant they take a look at it and I don’t know about this does he push him on the numbers here yeah a bit but he’s not anticipating Johnson to turn back here

He expects him to keep skating forward and he’s going to rub him into the boards instead with Johnson Turning Away what is kirev really supposed to do here we’ve been seeing a lot of this lately and I’m not sure I like it but let me know your thoughts on it below because I

Guess I’m wrong after the review the 5-minute major stood and the sabes would get a 5minute power play and getting to work it’s Dalene from way back and he scores not even attempting to score here this one would go off lassic and ends up

In his own net as the sabes made it a three-goal game and just a quick look here at how dominant Dalene has been since entering the league it’s not like the rest of these guys are a bunch of slouches that’s pretty impressive stuff back to the game though with plenty of

Time left on the power play it was actually Chicago with a chance here but Buffalo did get a couple of good looks and while they couldn’t get another to go for the remaining of the power play it did kill off a big chunk of time Lucan with a nice stop here trying to

Earn his shut out as he would continue to get off to a great start since the new year and as time would eventually expire he did just that securing his third shut out of the year his second in a row now as he’s LED in just seven

Goals in his last six games with that the sabes would take it three to nothing at home but yeah that’s about it for this one I hope you guys enjoyed as always thank you very much for watching I appreciate it and I will see you in the next St

After a snow blizzard cancelled plans for last night, today, the Chicago Blackhawks came into Buffalo. A game that saw 10 different penalties – from holding, cross checking, tripping and a controversial 5 minute boarding call as Philipp Kurashev hit Erik Johnson hard into the boards. But we also saw a penalty you very rarely see in the NHL after Rasmus Dahlin played the puck while still in the penalty box. While rare, this is technically an interference penalty as we saw 10 years ago with Ryan Carter. A year later, with Dougie Hamilton as well as Patrick Kane at one point. I explain the rule and cover everything else from this game in todays NHL hockey video!

  1. Let's be honest guys Buffalo can still make the playoffs they can win 15 in a row I believe in the holy ass

  2. I called that penalty in minor hockey late last year, except I called it as “ineligible player,” not interference…because who the hell would think that’s the traditional “interference.” lol

  3. the game is so fast now that calls like that have to be looked at as these are not intentional plays. Players have to have more respect for one another hits are meant to slow or impeded not injure others. Intent is a hard thing to call or make a determination on.

  4. Interesting though, what happens if while you're coming out of the penalty box the puck comes flying that way and you don't use your stick but before your feet hit the ice it hits you in the body? Is that going to be interference too?

  5. That's a clear boarding as boarding can get. Johnson is 1 meter away from boards and Kurashev hit's him on numbers that flies Johnson onto boards. What he could have done there? Not hit Johson and instead go for a puck and defense. First time seeing this guys videos and I kinda highly think you are a Blackhawks fan if you dont see boarding here 😀

  6. I got a penalty while getting out the box but I had a skate on the ice when I touched it and I lost mind on the ref and got an extra 2. I hate that rule

  7. I like how this video is titled with RARE penalty and yet the video is littered with examples! I was thinking rare as in once every 20 years this happens.

  8. Regarding the boarding penalty, even if the guy did turn sorta last minute, hits towards the boards from 4 feet away are dangerous no matter which way you're facing, so I have no issue with calling that a penalty. Also, the offending player made contact with his back and continued to push him rather than make any effort to let up, so yeah, to my eyes, 5 minute major every time.

  9. I think he pushes on the numbers and saying he’s not anticipating it is like saying he accidentally tripped him so we he wouldn’t get a penalty, it wouldn’t happen just like that’s boarding either way you look at it.

  10. I could've missed a video but I feel like this is the first time I've even seen the Sabres mentioned in all of hockey Youtube this season. Which is fair since, well, not historically bad like the Sharks, not really aiming for playoffs like everyone thought they'd be, though they got a little winstreak rn. Just in time for another disappointing season. Tho hopefully not.

  11. It's a rare penalty indeed. I see it as interference as they are not supposed to be involved in the play. I guess, as an alternative, they could call it a "too many players".

  12. Defiantly a boarding. As a player especially at this level u should know that the player is going to turn back to get themselves some space to move the puck. Besides, the reason that everything is reviewed now is because of the gambling.
    Oh, by the way…… It is nice to see those sweaters again. Been a while!

  13. I mean…. I thought this was common knowledge. But, they are rare. There was one in a Flyers game this season. I don't remember which team they were playing but someone played the puck as they were changing, after their skates left the ice. So it's the same penalty it was just him getting off instead of getting on. That's the one that should be shown as it's WAY more rare than these.

    Also, it's sad that there are guys in the NHL that don't know these rules. They are common rules they should've grown up with.

  14. "what is Kurachev really supposed to do here?" – lol not jam a dude into the boards via his numbers this isn't rocket science

  15. They upheld that 5 min penalty ….. used to be if you turned your back on someone you knew was then there was no penalty ….

  16. Someone said well in another post: arguing the player changing direction puts it as his own fault is like arguing that ramming into a car breaking in front of you on the highway not being your fault. He can move on the ice freely and the player behind needs to have the game sense to expect that the D man can do such a turn. Sometimes the contact is inavoidable, but the player can still choose whethet they push/hit the player from behind or try to minimize the impact by just trying to dodge or brake. In this case Kurashev decided to steamtoll into the Sabre
