Ha.

Nice.

Idk If you really want it, or if you just wanted to make that joke, but its right around the 1:30 mark either way.

Seeing the clip actually makes it not quite as monumentally stupid as I thought. Seems like he thought the puck was headed into the bench and just reached to grab it?

Still not a smart play, but not as unbelievable as what Clowe did a couple years ago, which was not penalized.

It definitely seemed like it was coming into the bench from that angle, now the next time a pucks coming into the bench, he's not even going to flinch and he's going to get drilled in the mouth.

yeah but even still...How many times has a penalty been called on a play like that...Especially when they really couldn't see if it went over the line of the bench or not. And to wait that long just to get baby therrien a chance to complain before they even called it?

especially to make it a 5-on-3 in the third period in a game that had massive playoff implications for one team.

I'm honestly surprised they called a penalty on Smith rather than just have the faceoff.

Maybe just let the puck fall into the bench then and not let any of this BS happen in the first place? Maybe Brendan? Maybe?

I'm sure Subban pointing and squealing to the refs didn't help matters any.

I am not surprised to be honest. I was more surprised at the Ryan Clowe penalty that wasn't called when he reached over the boards and stopped the puck with his stick in the middle of the play. That was so blatant it isn't even funny. This incident was Smith was insignificant, but if I saw it, I would call it. Instant replay didn't show very much though. Would have been an interesting coaches challenge.

No, I really wanted to see it. Thanks for the post.

I don't think he learns. I think next time he'll not only grab the puck, he'll run away with it giggling.

That puck was never falling into the bench. That's why it was a penalty.

Even better reason to just let it fall in / let it stay in play. The point is, why lift your hand to grab it at all? It's not like he's at a Tigers game and is going to keep it. Why try to grab it at all? It is mindbendingly complex as to what must have gone through his head to make him reach out and grab it.

Dumb. Just dumb. He should be sitting tonight even if it wasn't a throw away game.
