Pierre Engvall Tripping Penalty Against Tom Wilson (Was It A Penalty Or Not?)



I thought it would be an interesting video to upload to hear some opinions on this penalty. The clip has been circulating on Twitter and I’ve seen mixed reviews -Alyssa Hope

  1. I would say it was a penalty
    Edit 1: Nvm it shouldn’t have been a penalty since engvall did jack to wilson

  2. He didnt hit the wall hard enough; should've kneed Wilson in the temple (accidentally, of course).

  3. And the ref had the best possible angle 10 feet away. Surprised it wasn't an unsportsmanlike call too

  4. That was a bad call and the same thing happened to bunting later in the period, two imaginary trips against the leafs ref was a muppet

  5. WTF
    NHL refs are seriously blind this season… He saw that and called it a tripping… Wow

  6. I remember in the NYI-TB series last year there was a tripping penalty called on Hedman when he did something similar, but he even made contact with the puck and changed its direction. This is a little more iffy, as he didn't make puck contact and it would've changed possession, still kinda weak though

    Edit: I took another look, uh he was going down before there was any stick contact, definitely not a penalty

  7. Toronto must have been "due" for a penalty so they were going to call anything remotely close to a penalty

  8. Not a penalty but in real time with the position of the stick I can see why the referees arm went up. Tough break.

  9. That's wasn't a tripping penalty, Wilson was already falling and there was no stick near his feet to trip him
