Ref makes a retarded call on Travis Zajac NJ @Tampa 04.22.07

[Edawg649]

No dive, but no trip. He fell on his own.

[randomraper]

ref should be reffing soccer

[raran44]

That's not a dive. BS call.

[bigredjj10]

This is terrible.

[kstatik]

Whatever, this is the league that called an off-side against us last year in the play-offs against the Rags - and we were KILLING A PENALTY.

Yeah.

How do you get icing while on the PK?

[72NHLFreak]

@kstatik That doesnt make sense. Your not allowed to go off-side if your on a penalty kill or not, I think you typed that wrong

[Camps2630]

true, he just lost a edge, they said it right...

stupid calls by the refs

[Zach19parise]

Who would fucking dive on a fucking breakaway?!?

That was stupid.

I was jumping and screaming at my tv when this happened.

[Deflection]

Avery, Tootoo... want anymore names??

[TheBlackmage29389]

Avery even wouldnt dive on a breakaway....Ref's in the Nhl are so god damn retarted its not even funny.

[FleuryRockz29]

WTF ref's like that should be fired....if anything he tripped the other guy didnt even touch him with his stick...

i thought other refs were bad

[FleuryRockz29]

He Tripped.<<<<<Period^^^^

then continue on the other guy did NOT TRIP HIM

[minavagen]

whata fuck!!!

[tonyfruits]

oh man! i remember watchin the game on tv, and i was freakin out" he had a breakaway!! why would he dive!!" that was too funny though.

[ameister33]

you cant blame the ref tho. at such a fast paced level of hockey, the refs miss things sometimes. they are sometimes in difficult spots to view the play.

[cptjeff]

You actually can. A diving call is not something that has to be called like a slash or a hook- there's no guideline to calling a dive. it's just the ref's judgment. The Ref, in this case Eric Furlatt or Bill McCreary, did not have to make a call, but did, and it was shockingly wrong.

You can't always blame the ref on a missed hook or slash, but a bad diving call is solely the responsibly of the Ref.

And that was one of the worst calls I've ever seen.

[cptjeff]

Looking at that again, it's McCreary. Usually a pretty good ref.

[madsweetcandy]

why would he dive on a breakaway

[TwinsSucks2000]

OWNAGE!!!!

[CenCalDevil]

Devils rule, baby!

[oaktoncatch10]

good call by the ref.

[kingryge]

fuck u flames guy

your a fucken pansy

travis my fucken cousin you little bitch, an your a fucken pansy, why the fuck would he dive on a breakaway...

flames suck big tiem

[NJDevils1426]

that's NOT a dive. zajac doesn't play like that. he was leaning so much that i think the would've fell without the stick even being there.

[Cappy14]

Can't you get fined for diving?

[HockeyPwnsBaseball]

Yeah, Daniel Briere was fined $1000 for diving too many times last season.

Also, that was a dive by Zajac IMO. That or he lost an edge, but you can't really tell. I'm calling it a dive, because it seems convenient that he loses an edge right when the stick hits him. Maybe he dove because he was trying to draw a penalty shot? I dunno, I'd have to look at Zajac's track record

[cptjeff]

He's cutting in hard and trying to turn really tight. He lost an edge.

Really, who the hell dives when they have a open path to the net like that? That's a legit scoring chance, you don't dive on those.

A penalty shot only comes if you're in the act of shooting. He would have known that.

This was, quite simply, a lost edge and perhaps the world's worst call.

[flames41418]

that was a great call.zajac is a pansy

[harryknucles]

fuck you ass hole

[flames41418]

i am so scared.what r u gonna do mother fucker.

[jaymeelynne]

First of all, fighting on the internet is like competing in the special olympics even if you win...you're still retarded. Second, they were both terrible calls because what professional hockey player would dive on a breakaway and the Lightning player's stick barely even touched Zajac!

[Zach19parise]

this was soooo stupid, zajac had an almost 2-0 breakaway..why the fuck would he dive???????

[finnpoika19]

the reason he called a dive is because the ref thought Zajac was trying to draw a penalty and get a penalty shot.

[NJDevils1426]

idiotic call.
