At Central City, hoping for a strong 3rd period - Go Canucks! http://yfrog.com/h4oocslj
And apparently Mike Murphy consulted with Brian Burke before handing down the decision. I’m sure Burke is total impartial re: the Canucks.
So late hits are hits they don’t like and need an excuse to call illegal. And “finished checks” are all the other just as late or later ones
Apparently the NHL “has their own formula” for determining what “late” means, but they don’t publish it in the rule book.
I still don’t get how the Rome hit was “late”. Supposedly that’s the only thing that was wrong with it, and it was < 1 sec. from the pass.
