These refs are 💩
Sheesh how much time does a player get to realize his stick is broken? 0.5 seconds?
it’s crazy looking at these comments and to see people argue that call. doesn’t matter what the score is, that’s the right call there
Lame call
This is a new ref BTW. As a rangers fan though, you don't call this. Martinson dropped the stick as soon as he saw it was broken. Chytil wasn't happy to score either
"53.2 Minor Penalty – A minor penalty shall be imposed:
(i) For throwing a stick… or any part thereof… in the direction of the puck"
This is the only relevant rule I can find. The rulebook uses the word "throw" several times without defining it, but it seems obvious to all of us what is intended. However, Wiktionary does have these definitions:
"2. (transitive) To eject or cause to fall off."
"3. (transitive) To move to another position or condition; to displace."
This is a really bad call to make in a close game with less than 5 minutes left on the clock.
Let me just mention that this was this ref’s 2nd or 3rd game. And he’s only been a referee for 1 year after playing hockey for 6 years. The NHL is a joke with how they hire their refs
This 100% dictated the outcome of the game
Why has the NHL officiating gotten SO bad this season? It is absolutely awful.
From a rangers fan that was a weak call.
What an atrocious call. Just another example of the terrible officiating
rangers fan here……I almost never complain about or blame the refs for almost anything, but this game was horribly called both ways. really bad calls on both sides. the call against k'andre miller was friggin awful and then they called the hurricanes for a make-up penalty not long after that which was awful. I hadn't even seen this call, which I agree while he did play the puck or attempt to play it, he really couldn't have dropped his stick any faster. bad game for the refs, it happens. the real tragedy that we aren't speaking of, is how bad of an announcer Tripp Tracy is. That. Dude. Sucks. Ass. just shut up and quit your whining and bitching ffs. holy sht, worst announcer in the NHL.
He should’ve shoved that broken stick up the refs a$$.
What makes this funny is that they played Carmina Burana-O Fortuna while showing Rod Brind'Amour losing his mind. I wish I was able to see Brind'Amour after the Rangers scored a power play goal. I wanted to see him lose his mind, lol.
But on a serious note, I am a Rangers fan and even I think it shouldn't have been a penalty.
It is the letter of the law but in all honesty, you coulda let that one go.
In real time, I can see how the refs think he played the puck with the broken stick – though if they could see it was broken you'd think they could see he didn't touch it. But we all had the benefit of replay. It was a bad call, but I can see how they could have thought he played it because he did take a swipe at it. Just missed it.
Why can’t you play on a broken stick?
It's because he played the puck with his hand when his stick was broken. An Avalanche player got called for something similar; played the puck with his feet with a broken stick in his hand, even though he dropped it as soon as he knew it was broken
BUllshit call. Refs have been absolutely brutal this year. What a tickytacky call while headshots are getting missed.
Awful call. He has to see it before he can drop it lol. He aint an oracle that can foresee the future.
Equivalent of "You were caught doing 56mph in a 55mph zone". Straight to jail.
Really random, but anyone know the name of the song that plays at 1:30?
Just another example of how games are rigged in professional sports.
This is such a bad call.
Fucking refs!
I’m a Ranger fan as well and that is just a brutal call. Probably one of the worse calls I’ve seen in a long time
Game was over anyway shut up brindamour shake your head some more
ref who’s made the call only had 9 games reffed in the last year. horrible call.
Officiating was bad all game. The phantom trip called against Miller on Svechnikov was it? Couple more chintzy calls on both sides. Just inexperienced officials, it happens — more the league's fault for not having a more substantial officiating farm system, than anything. At the end of the day, the Rangers killed their penalties and the Canes didn't.
Alyssa Hope is a clown
These refs are something else lately
Very bad call!! If you call this, you have never played hockey!!
When did people start to rocking colored helmets to away games?
What little hockey I have played, you know when a stick breaks be the sound and you can feel it.
Send these refs back to school, horrendous call
Why is the refereeing getting worse? How is this possible?
id be pissed
He absolutely can’t control that, nhl needs to start fining refs for intentionally altering the games.
What a stupid fucking call. The ref should get suspended and fined
Absolutely had every reason to be pissed canes never get those type of calls
Looks to me like the puck didn't even touch his stick after it broke.
Refs taking over games way too often these days. Terrible call. With 2 minutes left and the team is behind a goal that’s just absolutely cruel
Nhl refs lol
The stick broke and went straight behind him, he didn't see it again until he touched it, he then immediately dropped the stick…that's not a penalty
Refs need to stop controlling games this is getting stupid
Well if you watch the clips when they slow it down, oh yes he knew, he looks right at his stick then the board battle starts and he then uses his stick he knows it’s broken, but in a board battle if the stick is broken but still intact it should be able to be used until it is in two pieces , once you drop your stick still be able to hold the puck with skates till fellow team mate can take your spot
