Does anybody hear the announcers complain about 2 things during the Finals, and Playoffs?

Question

1) Kronwall leaving his feet, and

2) The Wings on face-offs

What s your take and if these are rules clearly being broken, why haven't they been penalized or thrown out of the face-off circle as much?

Answer 1

Surely you aren't suggesting the refs missed a call. They'll probably nail him twice next time, just to make up for it.

Answer 2

I saw Kronwell leave his feet once.  Wasn't anything major though.

Answer 3

With regard to Kronwall leaving his feet , he most definitely did on one open ice hit but it wasn't seen by the refs. About the faceoffs most hockey players who consistently have high faceoff percentages (mark messier for example)usually are using one form of cheat or another for example their sticks are continuously moving , however they do it subtly which is why they're not caught.

Answer 4

I'm 95% sure that Bob Cole did not say anything about either of those.

Answer 5

I can't stand Bob Cole.  He's gotta be the worst, and most biased hockey announcer of all time.

Answer 6

kronwall did leave his fett on one hit, but i dont see either of these being a constant problem

Answer 7

??? They did???

All i remember is them complimenting Kronwall on his big hits and how the wings are the #1 team at faceoff wins.

Answer 8

Kronwall was close last night, but I think it was more the momentum that brought him up in the air.

As far as the face offs, both teams are always trying to get an edge. If the refs don't say anything, then it's good. End of story.

Answer 9

I guess the announce team is being a little bias and i guess the refs see it another way??
