Went into this place for lunch where a woman in a nice business suit was sitting by herself eating a steak the size of a small table with a glass of red wine. Of course, everyone went for siesta after lunch and no one ate dinner till 9 or so. City was beautiful in a run down European way.

Interference and bad luck.
- Woderwick


Bad luck yes, Roberston was two feet from the boards when lifted in the air. Hard to imagine a good outcome. For me, Interference is a pick, not launching a player into the boards.

Ok so what then boarding?

The issue is the boarding rule stipulates that the player who is the recipient of the boarding has to be unsuspecting.

A boarding penalty will be assessed to any Player who checks or pushes an unsuspecting opponent in such a manner that causes the opponent to hit or impact the boards violently or dangerously. The severity of the penalty will be based upon the degree of violence of the player's impact with the boards.

Do we know which shoulder is injured for Robertson?

I'm assuming the right one, but his left arm hits the ice pretty hard.

I was going to write, aggressive interference.The interference was intentional no doubt, and I think the aggression was a combination of exhaustion and frustration due to the relentless onslaught. Roy swatted the horsefly buzzing around his head.

Boarding would have been more accurate, and it was without question severe with a high degree of violence. The unsuspecting issue is difficult. I think it has to do with a player's ability to protect himself - brace for impact to minimize injury. Robertson had no such opportunity.

I think he did and in fact when I watch that I see him trying to proactively hit Roy (likely to avoid being a stationary target and getting the full impact of the hit - which is a good play. Reminds me of Sandin when he did the reverse hit vs Winnipeg!

I just think it didn't work and it actually put Robertson off balance a bit because Roy is so much taller than him and Roberston being off balance resulted in the awkward fall and injury.

Just my take but it really does suck for Robertson.

My favourite is the one where the Penguins’ bus breaks down, so Crosby comes out and plays shinny on the pond with the kids.

My takeway: Makin, Letang and the boys are giant stuck-up douchebags. Crosby was the only guy who got off the bus.
