Apparently that's the latest rumour going around from what I understand. Seems the Sharks heavy breathing on the backs of a few Vancouver players has been knocking them over in their current series and the league is now seriously considering changing over to non-contact. Of course the league would have to take this to a vote and obtain a majority ruling. What a bleepin joke that call was against Shark forward Jamie McGinn and these types of calls will soon turn the league into a non-contact one. It's become a total pharce!

that could have been a 2 minute charge, but rome saw him coming at the last second turned the wrong way and set himself up to get crushed. you cant blame the refs tho because they dont get to watch the replay they just see a player on the ice bleeding that cant move. everybody on versus agreed that it wasnt a major

This just in, the Canucks were called for 11 'penalties' and you have the nerve to question the most blatent hit from behind?? You're clearly blinded by your stupidity or your hate. Rome was playing that puck on the backhand all along yet mcginn still rammed him into the boards. If torres did that all u morons would be calling for his head.
I've seen your so called L-O-C-K-S...i know it would kill u and a lot of others inside if the canucks win it all...

i'm not going to question most of the penalties the canucks took. My question is how can this 'tard point to hits like this as a reason the league is going turning into a pharce... how bout calls like burrows brushing the goalie when he should be considered a 'player' when he's playing the puck in the faceoff circle? Even lapierres 'roughing' call was a bs call...nice way to give the sharks an early advantage i'd say. but then again luongo should learn to close his legs...

43.1 Checking from Behind – A check from behind is a check delivered on a player who is not aware of the impending hit, therefore unable to protect or defend himself, and contact is made on the back part of the body.

Rule 43 - Checking from Behind
43.1 Checking from Behind – A check from behind is a check delivered on a player who is not aware of the impending hit, therefore unable to protect or defend himself, and contact is made on the back part of the body. When a player intentionally turns his body to create contact with his back, no penalty shall be assessed.
43.2 Minor Penalty - There is no provision for a minor penalty for checking from behind.
43.3 Major Penalty – Any player or goalkeeper who cross-checks, pushes or charges from behind an opponent who is unable to protect or defend himself, shall be assessed a major penalty. This penalty applies anywhere on the playing surface (see 43.5).
43.4 Match Penalty - The Referee, at his discretion, may assess a match penalty if, in his judgment, the player attempted to or deliberately injured his opponent by checking from behind.
41.1 Boarding – A boarding penalty shall be imposed on any player or goalkeeper who checks an opponent in such a manner that causes the opponent to be thrown violently in the boards. The severity of the penalty, based upon the degree of violence of the impact with the boards, shall be at the discretion of the Referee.
There is an enormous amount of judgment involved in the application of this rule by the Referees. The onus is on the player applying the check to ensure his opponent is not in a vulnerable position and if so, he must avoid the contact. However, there is also a responsibility on the player with the puck to avoid placing himself in a dangerous and vulnerable position. This balance must be considered by the Referees when applying this rule.
Any unnecessary contact with a player playing the puck on an obvious “icing” or “off-side” play which results in that player being knocked into the boards is “boarding” and must be penalized as such. In other instances where there is no contact with the boards, it should be treated as “charging.”
41.2 Minor Penalty – The Referee, at his discretion, may assess a minor penalty, based on the degree of violence of the impact with the boards, to a player guilty of boarding an opponent.
41.3 Major Penalty – The Referee, at his discretion, may assess a major penalty, based on the degree of violence of the impact with the boards, to a player guilty of boarding an opponent (see 41.5).
41.1 Boarding – A boarding penalty shall be imposed on any player or goalkeeper who checks an opponent in such a manner that causes the opponent to be thrown violently in the boards.
