But it was a penalty as soon as it happened, no matter how long he stayed down. Disagree with the rule, you can think it should be different for when a goalie leaves the crease, fine, but as it stood, it's a penalty.



They are not supposed to have anything to do with this decision, it's entirely on the team doctor. Who was out on the ice, and did nothing but tell him when it was ok to get up because they sent Shaw off... (Yes I am exaggerating the last part for effect)



Right, it's entirely up to the doctor, and your goalie just took a shot to the head, would you not want him to go out there to check on him? What would you have him do? Because again, this is coming down to KNOWING for absolute postively sure, how he felt getting that hit to the head. It's just dumb to assume things like this.



But **** it, let's compare it to Malarchuk getting his throat cut because that's sooo similar and there's our proof. Well done.

You're missing the boat. Of course the Doc has to come out there and no one is saying it wasn't a penalty. If he was truly hurt, he would have come off the ice, usually that's what happens when people stop the play for 5 minutes because they are "hurt" and need further attention.

So again, like I said, it's either he completely faked it, or he's being taken off and won't come back. Those are the only two possible outcomes that would have you believe one way or the other. Because he turned out okay can only mean he somehow faked the reaction from getting hit in the head with a shoulder. This is ridiculous. That's worse than Shanahan's logic.

Some of you guys have some pretty huge balls...if we are to believe you of course.



I've got an idea: I'm 6'2" and 260lbs right now. I skate pretty fast for my size. Can we hit the rink and test out some of these theories? I'll be happy to play the role of Shaw and we'll see if you guys 'feel anything' when I hit you?



Fair enough?



I bet you flat out fall on your face before you grab it. I've been tagged you dont grab the injured area while falling you fall then grab the injured area.

Is that how it happened? It looked like he 'landed' from the spin then started clutching his face.



Either way, I flat out refuse to believe that he faked the ENTIRE thing. Some people flat out refuse to believe that he didn't fake all of it.

If I was a 6'4" and got hit by a 5'8" nat I would certainly have more pride than to imbellish the whole thing. My pride is worth more than a PP.



your pride is worth more than a 5 minute PP in the Stanley Cup playoffs??



Good for you, Mike Smith's isn't.

Not only that, but he must be really unpopular in the room.



If I got popped like that, I'm pretty sure one of my teammates would have something to say about it....

Hey some people believe in a story about a zombie named Jeebus and will kill if you cross them on it.

Good for you, Mike Smith's isn't.

Did he know it was going to be 5 min PP? Then how could he weigh that outcome in .7 seconds while falling to the ice after being hit in the head?



You guys really need to step away from the crack pipe and think realistically about what happened and not about what you would do in that situation.



There is no way he CHOSE to spin around in mid air and feel pain in his head/face/jaw/nose/teeth...whatever in a split seconds time.

I havent read all 7 pages but do I think Shaw did hit em? Yep. Should he get an penalty? No, but I could be ok with a 2 min interference if you had to. Do I think Shaw probably rang his bell a bit? Sure. Am I ok with Smith taking a few minutes to compose himself? No question.



But for his acting performance? Now he has gone from a goalie I really liked to yet another player that I cant respect anymore.

Except that someone did go after Shaw. The ref escorted him to the box pretty quick.



Let Shaw back in for game 4 and I'm pretty sure some Yotes will go after him. Doan will probably go looking for him during fucking warmups! lol

The same way Kesler, Sedins, Burrows and Luongo don't CHOOSE to feel pain and spin around until they fall to the ice in split seconds time? Players dive, it happens. Whether or not Smith did doesn't even matter at this point. No one is going to change anyone's opinion.

Sure, when they see the hit coming (Kesler, ahem). But Smith didn't see that coming. No way.
