Excellent Game 1.....the Oilers two superstars come through in the clutch once again.

 

Something good is bound to happen when they are on the ice together.

Was the puck over the glass penalty flagrant? Kind of a killer to lose in OT on one of those, but it’s early and Panthers are a veteran team.

It's shaping up to be a 7 game series for sure.

What do you mean by flagrant? He was under pressure and fired the puck out of the rink.  There is no room in the rule for interpretation.

Nosek had that no sugar tonight look when he sat down in the penalty box... it was just a routine screw up, I don't think flagrant really fits the play.

 

I hope the Oilers win tomorrow night too...

I know the rule, I didn't see it and was simply asking how it went down.....geesh!

He flipped the puck over the glass.  Are there degrees of flagrance in this act? I don't know what you're asking.

Did he drop it gently over the glass with a loft wedge so it landed like a butterfly with sore feet?

Or was it more a protecting the plate/bloop foul ball into the stands that landed in some ho's kielbasa and coated her cleavage with delicious spicy mustard?

Or did he point to a crying baby in the second level and then rip a biscuit right into it's annoying, toothless gob?

The level of his intention is irrelevant.  He put the puck out of play, therefore it is a delay of game penalty.  In a game where many penalties are subject to interpretation, this one is refreshingly simple and straightforward.

Its never intentional anymore.  He tried to clear it high off the glass so it would exit the zone but without the heat on it to ice the puck but he got under the puck too much and it went over the glass.  Just like the 10,000 times it happens in the regular season.  That said, it did not meet the criteria for flagrant 2 delay of game where a player intentionally launches the puck into the upper deck with intent to stop play.  A flagrant 2 delay of game results in a minor penalty and a 2 min man advantage.

I was curious if Edmonton was buzzing around and he flung it in desperation or simply was clearing the zone and haphazardly blooped it. Apologies for the complexity of my ponderance.
