Got a question on rule clarification, comments on rule enforcements or some memorable NHL stories? Kerry wants to answer your emails at cmonref@tsn. cheap jerseys .ca! Hi Kerry, During the Winnipeg Jets power play in the third period against the Calgary Flames last night, Lance Bouma ran into Dustin Byfuglien and then ended up with the puck on his stick and in the net. To me it seemed like a pick play. Is that even allowed? Should interference not have been called on the play? What happened there? If the penalty would have been called, it would of been a 5-on-3 for the Jets with a 2-2 score, instead it was 3-2 Flames. I am sure the outcome of the came would of been quite different. Regards,Reg Robert --- Good day Kerry, Watching the Calgary vs. Jets Game - on Calgarys third goal there was a clear obstruction interference on Dustin Byfuglien with Lance Bouma plowing through him and eliminating Byfuglien from the play. Bouma proceeded to the open ice taking a pass from Matt Stajan and scoring a goal. I would like to know why this isnt interference? Byfuglien never had possession of the puck! If you could kindly clarify? Thanks! Luke Guthro Reg and Luke: Lance Bouma clearly eliminated Dustin Byfuglien with illegal body contact that directly resulted in Bouma scoring a short-handed goal. Bouma should have been assessed an interference penalty negating any opportunity to score on the play. The Jets should have then enjoyed a two-man advantage for one minute and forty seconds. A "pick" is defined as the action of a player who checks an opponent who is not in possession of the puck and is unaware of the impending check/hit. A player delivering a "pick" is one who moves into an opponents path without initially having body position, thereby taking him out of the play. When this is done, an interference penalty shall be assessed. Lance Bouma got away with a text book example of a "moving pick" when he eliminated defender Dustin Byfuglien and then put himself in position to receive a pass from Matt Stajan and slip the puck past Winnipeg goalkeeper Al Montoya. This should have been a routine two-on-two play for Dustin Byfuglien and his power-play defence partner Tobias Enstrom to defend against once Matt Stajan carried the puck out of the Flames end zone with Lance Bouma on his left side. Bouma started cutting through the middle of the ice on a cross-route before Stajan gained the blue line. Rather than find an open seam Lance Bouma created one by skating directly at Byfuglien and delivered solid body contact that eliminated the Jet defenceman from the play. It was next to impossible for Tobias Enstrom to defend against the immediate two-on-one that Bouma created with his illegal contact on Byfuglien. The Flame forward then put himself in perfect position to receive a pass from Matt Stajan at the top of Montoyas crease to score the go-ahead goal. Both referees must share responsibility for picking up (or missing) the interference that Lance Bouma committed given the cross route that Bouma took entering the attacking zone. The illegal body contact Bouma delivered on Byfuglien occurred in close proximity to puck carrier, Matt Stajan. Freeze-frame the action at this moment to better understand the Referees area of coverage that should take place in this moment. The lead referee backing into the zone would have been primarily responsible for action around the puck. The trailing referees primary area of coverage is on all players away from the puck (non-puck carrier) and is required to hustle up ice once the remaining Jet players exit the Flames end zone. Since the Jets were on the power-play there should have been little, if any, need for the trailing ref to delay exiting the Flames zone and hustling up ice to provide coverage and support with Stajan and Bouma on the attack. The area of coverage and focus of attention for both referees should have melted together once Lance Bouma crossed in front of puck carrier Matt Stajan to deliver an illegal pick on Jet defender Dustin Byfuglien. The missed penalty resulted in the short-handed goal scored by Lance Bouma. Sad to say, been there - done that! C... Tottenham Hotspur Jerseys .

Friends and former teammates are happy hes made it back to the NFLs biggest stage, and the general public is excited to see if No. 18 can win a second Super Bowl ring this weekend, too. Many in this town just wished this incredible season had come in Colts blue rather than Broncos orange. "I think as fans of Peyton, people hoped he would stay with the same team and finish it out," said Jeff Saturday, Mannings longtime centre. "But that wasnt possible. Peyton wanted to still play. The Colts released him and that happens in our business. As a player, you have to move on to the next team and hes done what hes supposed to do." Hes continued to win at a record-breaking rate. Many in Indy never doubted Manning would continue to play at this high level — if he could get healthy. But after missing the entire 2011 season to recover from a damaged nerve in his neck and facing a salary cap dilemma, Colts owner Jim Irsay made the toughest decision of his career — cutting ties with Manning and using the No. 1 draft pick to begin anew. Immediate reactions in Indy were mixed when Irsay tearfully tried to explain he wanted Manning to have another shot at the Super Bowl before his career ended, while the Colts were attempting to remain a Super Bowl contender for the next decade with a completely new cast. So far, so good. Since drafting Andrew Luck, the Colts have posted back-to-back 11-win seasons and reached the playoffs twice. Manning, meanwhile, has posted two straight 13-win seasons, just completed perhaps the greatest regular season by any quarterback in league history and will make his third Super Bowl start Sunday in New York. Indy fans arent surprised by Mannings success, especially after watching him turn this basketball bastion into a football-friendly town. "I think everyone is pulling for him," said Joe Gray, a 59-year-old Colts season ticket holder who was impresssed by the standing ovation Manning got when he returned to Lucas Oil Stadium in October. [url=http://www.chinajerseyschance.us.com/soccer-country-china_england-jersey-ch... England Soccer Jerseys. "Im not saying I dont like Luck, I just wish Peyton was still here." Grey finds himself in a crowded group. Even longtime friends, such as Saturday and former linebacker Gary Brackett, acknowledge it was tough to see Manning leave, though theyre happy to see him playing well. Some Indy football fans say they cheer for Manning first and the Colts second, which may explain why so many orange No. 18 jerseys — or some variation of them — have been seen around town the last two years. Manning has remained close to the community, too, returning each of the last two springs to host fundraisers for the childrens hospital that bears his name. On Sunday, the Peyton Manning Childrens Hospital at St.Vincent is even planning a Super Bowl viewing party for patients and their families. "We are fortunate to partner with a selfless individual who has given his time and resources off the field for the betterment of children and our overall community," said Vince Caponi, executive chairman of the hospitals board. "Peyton has the highest respect for our health ministry, and values his time spent with its pediatric patients." But to those who know Manning best, this goes far deeper than rooting for an ex-teammate. "My career is over, so now I can sit back and cheer for the guys I respect and hes definitely on top of that list," said Brackett, who served as Indys defensive captain while Manning was the offensive captain. Saturday concurs. "Hes a friend, so Im always pulling for him that way. But to see a guy coming back from all the neck surgeries hes had, at 37, going to another team, going to a Super Bowl, its fun to watch," Saturday said. "Peyton Manning was everything youd want our of a franchise quarterback while he was in Indy. He won the way you wanted to win. It was exactly what you wanted out of a franchise quarterback." ' ' '
