Got a question on rule clarification, comments on rule enforcements or some memorable NHL stories? Kerry wants to answer your emails at cmonref@tsn.ca! Hello Kerry, Im writing about the call on David Backes dislodging the net with 50 seconds left in the Montreal-St. Louis game to give Tomas Plekanec a penalty shot. I feel it was incorrect as it looked like Backes was almost falling backwards as he was trying to backcheck. What would you have called in that situation? Chris SchellenbachKirkwood, MO --- Hi Kerry, In Tuesdays Montreal-St. Louis game, the Canadien player Douglas Murray had the puck behind the net and the St. Louis player David Backes delivered a hit which forced a turnover for an Alex Steen goal. How was that not a cross-checking penalty? Grant Brodie Chris and Grant: Thanks to both of you for submitting a question from the St. Louis Blues shootout win over the Montreal Canadiens broadcast on TSN Tuesday night. Chris, the penalty shot called by rookie referee Darcy Burchell when David Backes dislodged the net from the moorings with just 48.9 seconds remaining and the score tied was not only a real gutsy call but the correct one. I concede your point, Chris, that David Backes did have momentum moving backwards after he cleared the rebound from outside the goal crease that resulted from Jaroslav Halaks save off the stick of Tomas Plekanec. Backes slipped past the pad of Halak and continued on his backward path through the goal crease. There was no effort made by Backes to initiate a stop or avoid making contact with the net. Knowing that contact with the goal was imminent, David Backes placed his hand and elbow on the crossbar in a reasonable effort to protect himself. Thats as much leeway as I can offer the Blues captain to this point of the play. The instant that David Backes made a slight hip-check move, which dislodged the post from its moorings, a delay of game penalty was warranted. While I give young referee Darcy Burchell full marks for making the correct call, the rookie seemed a little hesitant to signal the penalty shot once he blew his whistle to kill the play. I can appreciate the many things that would have been going through Burchells mind as he viewed and factored-in Backes actions when the net was dislodged. Once his decision was made, I would suggest the young man should be more emphatic with his signal to demonstrate his certainty and to help sell the call. It is also important to note that any Habs player that was on the ice at the time of the infraction could have been designated to take the penalty shot. This is clearly spelled out in rule 24.3; "In cases where a penalty shot has been awarded to a player specifically fouled, that player shall be designated by the referee to take the penalty shot. *In all other cases where a penalty shot has been awarded, the penalty shot shall be taken by a player selected by the Captain of the non-offending team from the players on the ice at the time when the foul was committed." I offer kudos to Darcy Burchell for demonstrating the courage to make a tough call given the score and the time in the game. Thats what we expect from the refs, isnt it hockey fans? The answer to your question, Grant, is that the "push/shove" that David Backes utilized on the back of Habs defenceman Douglas Murray and forced a turnover of the puck is deemed to be legal strength checking move. If you look closely on the replay, you will notice that Backes two gloves make the primary contact with Murrays back and the shove motion is not regarded as a cross-check. cheap china jerseys .

The former Flyers captain took the ice Thursday to participate in Philadelphias morning skate at Air Canada Centre. Not only did he participate in drills, he also took some good-natured ribbing about his conditioning -- as sure of sign as any he was part of a pro sports team again. "I think they need to get him a bigger helmet out there, his head looked pretty scrunched in there," said Flyers forward Scott Hartnell. The invitation to the skate came directly from Flyers GM Paul Holmgren. It was another sign that the fence has been mended between Lindros and the Flyers organization, which had an often-turbulent relationship during his playing days that ended on poor terms. But he was fully embraced during the Winter Classic earlier this season and received the loudest ovation from fans during the alumni game. Lindros retired in 2007 and still looks like a commanding presence on the ice. Some of the Flyers felt he could make a comeback at age 39. "If I can play, why not? Hes younger than me," said forward Jaromir Jagr, who is 40. "He would have to lose some pounds. Maybe 20. But its easy to do." There are no plans for that. Lindros seems completely at ease with life after hockey, a sport he dominated so thoroughly in junior that he was hailed as the sports next superstar. Injuries kept him from reaching that potential, although he did have a tremendous run early in his career with the Flyers and won the Hart Trophy as league MVP in 1995. All these years later, he still loves to play.dddddddddddd "Any time you can wake up and enter this building and go have some fun on the ice, it is a blast," said Lindros. "What brings everyone together is the game of hockey and the purity of the sport. ... Its wonderful around here." His presence brought a clear shot of excitement to the Flyers prior to their game against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Rookie forward Zac Rinaldo grew up a huge fan of the man known as "The Big E" -- hed always play video games with No. 88 -- and showed some nerves while skating on the same ice surface as him. "Zac couldnt make a pass he was so excited," said forward Max Talbot. "Hes going to get his stick signed and everything." Added Jagr: "It doesnt surprise me with this organization, its a family organization and everybody is friendly. He is a big part of the Philadelphia Flyers history. Its great to see it." Lindros wore a wide grin throughout the skate and remained on the ice long after the Flyers regulars had showered and left. It was a trip down memory lane. Unlike many other players who have left the sport, he doesnt miss very much about the life he once had. "I was ready to move on," said Lindros. "I think when you get older too you realize that theres more to life than going out and playing the game. The game is fantastic, but theres many more things to do. "Ive had the opportunity to explore a few different areas and tributaries from whats spilled off from the game. Ive enjoyed it, things are coming along nicely. Im a fortunate guy." cheap nfl jerseys ' ' '
