Got a question on rule clarification, comments on rule enforcements or some memorable NHL stories? Kerry wants to answer your emails at cmonref@tsn. Austin Hays Jersey .ca. Hey Ref! Im wondering if you could enlighten me on why the hand pass goal was permitted by the Canucks against the Oilers this past Saturday? Is it because it wasnt an intentional hand pass? As an Oilers fan, Im sensitive to this as in 2006 the Oilers had a game-tying goal in the final minute called back because Mick McGeough thought a hand pass might have occurred (it didnt). However, this time a very clear hand pass was permitted to set up a goal. Thanks, Justin Hazenberg PS - Love the column. Sure wish the league would allow active officials to explain calls. Justin: The distinct and deliberate action demonstrated by Alexandre Burrows to play the puck with his hand constitutes a violation of rule 79.1 (Hand Pass). Play should have been immediately stopped once Dan Hamhuis gained puck possession following the redirect off the glove of Burrows. No goal should have resulted on this play. The language of 79.1 is as follows: A player shall be permitted to stop or bat a puck in the air with his open hand, or push it along the ice with his hand, and the play shall not be stopped unless, in the opinion of the on-ice officials, he has directed the puck to a teammate, or has allowed his team to gain an advantage, and subsequently possession and control of the puck is obtained by a player of the offending team, either directly or deflected off any player or official. On at least two counts, the language of the rule was satisfied once Burrows reached to play the puck with his hand. This action by Burrows caused the puck to be illegally directed onto the stick of teammate Dan Hamhuis (possession and control) thereby creating an advantage for the Canucks in violation of the rule. The fact that Burrows made a deliberate attempt to play the puck with his hand should have eliminated any reasonable determination by the officials that the puck was simply deflected as opposed to a violation of the hand pass rule. The expected interpretation and standard of enforcement of rule 79 was not met. Coach Dallas Eakins and the Edmonton Oilers had a legitimate complaint on the ruling of this play. Shawn Armstrong Jersey . Parmelee hit a game-ending shot in the ninth inning and the Minnesota Twins overcame DavidĀ Ortizs big night to beat the Boston Red Sox 8-6 on Tuesday. Rick Dempsey Jersey . And like the near entirety of last season, Jonathan Bernier and Torontos goaltending tandem is up to the task.West Lafayette, IN (SportsNetwork.com) - Melvin Gordon rushed for 205 yards and a touchdown and No. 25 Wisconsin beat Purdue 34-16 on Saturday. Joel Stave passed for 219 yards and two touchdowns in the win, most of it in the first half as the Badgers (7-2, 4-1 Big Ten) played their first game as a ranked team in over a month. They overcame a shaky start to the second half, which included Gordons fumble and failed fourth-down run and a near-onside kick recovery by the Boilermakers after Austin Applebys 79-yard touchdown pass to Akeem Hunt got them within 24-16. Appleby passed for 204 yards for Purdue (3-7, 1-5), which has lost three in a row. Paul Griggs kicked three field goals in the loss, including two over 50 yards. The Badgers have beaten Purdue nine straight times, including six in a row in West Lafayette. After dropping out of the ranking following a loss to Northwestern on Oct. 4, Wisconsin held Maryland to a season-low seven points and handed Rutgers its first shutout in 12 years, moving to No. 2 in the nation in scoring defense. The offense nearly coughed up the lead in this one when a fumble and failed fourth-down conversion led to 10 points for Purdue early in the third quarter, trimming the Badgers 24-6 halftime lead. Gordon lost the ball on the first play from scrimmage, leading to Griggs 52- yard field goal. Gordon was then stopped on a 4th-and-1 try at the Purdue 16 and Appleby connected with Hunt on a 79-yard touchdown three plays later to get the Boilermakers within 24-16. Curt Blefary Jersey. It nearly got worse for Wisconsin when a surprise onside kick was recovered near the sideline by Purdues Raheem Mostert. But the play was reversed after a replay review. Boilermakers safety Landon Feichter later intercepted Stave at the Purdue 15, but they punted and Tanner McEvoy gave Wisconsin a 31-16 lead with a 13-yard touchdown run to cap a four-play drive. Rafael Gaglianones 31-yard field goal capped a 12-play drive to open the fourth quarter and made it 34-16 Wisconsin. Earlier, Griggs kicked a 40-yard field goal on Purdues first drive, but Gordons 14-yard touchdown run later in the first put the Badgers on top for good. After Griggs nailed a 53-yarder on the first play of the second quarter, Gaglianone made a 24-yarder for Wisconsin. Staves 27-yard touchdown pass to Gordon later in the second made it 17-6 and his 9-yard throw to Alex Erickson gave the Badgers a 24-6 lead at halftime. Game Notes Stave passed for 190 yards in the first half ... Wisconsin faces current No. 15 Nebraska next week ... After a bye week, Purdue plays Northwestern on Nov. 22 ... Purdues last win against Wisconsin was Oct. 18, 2003. It hasnt beaten the Badgers at Ross-Ade Stadium since Oct. 18, 1997. ' ' '
