I mean he was grabbing his face as he was going down and also had time to turn as doing so. That's a pretty blatant dive. If we has sucker punched he would've just ended up on his ass. Mrazek baited it out and knew it was coming. Plus look at this wounded solider pose he has going on. Making us all look bad Mrazek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chile57 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 i agree - bad form on both parties. mrazek definitely embellished once he felt contact (which might have cost him more than the punch). my issue is a slash ain't a slash if you don't make contact. kind of like if i tree falls in the woods and nobody's around - does it make a sound?

bunnyman666 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 The more I watch, the less I like how Mrazek played this. I am no fan of Thornton, but we had a dive by the goalie. Thornton could have just as easily ignored the missed slash and let his team go on the power play. The benefit for us is that we got to watch as many times as we wished; the refs had to go by what they saw right then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seagoal Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 At the very least his cage slammed into his nose. That f'n hurts and his eyes probably watered and he had the burning all over. Could have easily stunned him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's interesting. I"m not sure what the rule is on missing with a slash. I know throwing a stick is a penalty regardless of contact. But to be fair, Mrazek didn't slash. He swung it. There was way more motion and distance involved than a typical slash. But is swinging a stick a penalty? I guess you just have to default to a slash.

WillyGrips13 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Meanwhile, we live in a time when forwards are entitled to go jabbing away and slashing at covered pucks without punishment. Used to be, you slashed or jabbed at the goalie, you were getting beat down. Joe knows that because he’s older than dirt. I think we need the next Hextall, Billy Smith, Cloutier or Emery. Or referees could just call that nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thornton should've have gone digging, no, but Mrazek should've expected something when he tried to lumberjack the back of Thornton's legs (which, at his age, could very easily end his career). This is a case of "play stupid games, win stupid prizes", on both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a case of "play stupid games, win stupid prizes", on both sides. For sure. I certainly don't think it was a cheap shot. Mrazek intended to hack him with a goalie stick, missed, and then booted up face to face. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes is a perfect descriptor.

That's a goalie in the Q (Major Junior hockey league in Québec) and to think we just saw glimpses of the gear no more then a few months ago or less.

coopaloop1234 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I think this is a pad set that I'll need to get my hands on to judge fully. Because as much as everyone it touting this as a "huge" tech jump for the CCM brand, I can't help but just see a printed version of a P2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m a little biased bc I’m typically in the traditional / EFlex camp, but don’t these look ridiculously clunky? Can’t tell if it’s a massive thigh rise issue or the camera angle but looks way too rigid and boxy for my taste... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a side view of the Axis pad from GGN's Instagram. Looks thinner than the P2, but sure does look like a P2 to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
