Sicard/Hamilton video

[gatorgal]

Because Hamilton and Omicioli and now MacIsaac like to run their mouths when calls don't go our way. They just run it too much sometimes. And now we have a reputation for doing so, get used to it. The refs know that we're the "badboys" and like to run our mouths. Sadly it will continue to haunt us

So the coach got ejected for running his mouth??

[mportus]

My guess would be that he complimented the referee's "momma"

[janet]

So why did the refs stop the fight like that??


Oh and thanks for posting the fight-always appreciated. However, when Hamilton checked the guy, it was because he had the puck. Secard hit Hamilton just cause. There is a difference. Don't take this the wrong way, we all know Hamilton likes to run his mouth, but be please be fair. I'm assuming the hit to the officials back that you talked about was when the official got between Hamilton and Secard. Or did he actually go off and hit the official after the fight? I didn't watch the game so all I have to go by is the video you posted. And can you tell me why the Coach got ejected?

You're welcome for the video. Everybody has their own opinions about why a player did this or that. I don't think Sicard hit Hamilton "just cause." It is my opinion that Sicard hit Hamilton because of the hit Hamilton put on the guy against the board from behind. That appeared, to me, to be the sequence of events while I was watching the game. I have no idea why the officials stepped in when they did. The fight didn't appear to be over to me. Hamilton shoved the official in the back while he was facing Sicard to break up the fight. In the video (I think) you can see him turn his head over his shoulder and look at Hamilton. (I would have to go watch this again to be positive.) ** I did go back and watch. It's at the 1:10 mark of the video, Hamilton shoves him in the back.**

I think whatever happened with the coach either happened on his way off of the ice, or as they were going down the tunnel to the dressing room. Neither myself, nor anyone I was sitting with, saw the coach do anything. There was never an announcement made about his ejection. The penalty shows up at the 20:00 minute mark when the period was over. The opposing team and the referee team exit the ice via the same door. Do I think that's a good idea? No. However, the only other choices are (1) the zamboni entrance and (2) where the home team exits the ice. And we all know that the officials exiting the ice with the home team would go over about as well as a turd in a punch bowl.

Is it just me? or am I seeing things when I see the officials exit with our team at home?
