    If that's the rule then the hit was late. No question about it.

      That was kinda my point. People were all up in arms about it being a "late hit", and that wasn't even why the hit was dirty. It was a dirty hit because he took around 8 strides to make the check, and he hit Zucker in the head.

          Well, it was a late hit.

            I didn't see that in the rule either, but in looking at the play as it unfolded, the hit served no hockey purpose. Zucker was stationary and showing no intent to do anything further, meaning that there was no hockey advantage to hitting him.

            You "finish a check" to prevent the player who just moved the puck from continuing on with the play or to change the trajectory of the pass/shot. Since Zucker was simply standing there, Rau wasn't doing either of these. Rau's only reason for his charge was to physically punish the player, obviously. There was no continuation aspect in this play as Rau was not engaged in any way with Zucker.

            Had the same thing happen in a pee wee game last year and the ref threw out our player and said that there was no hockey play to that hit and our player's only motivation was to punish. We didn't argue it in the least as that's exactly how we saw it too. Completely unnecessary hit and not a good hockey play.

            The Rau play wasn't simply charging, it was also late. Whether or not late equates to the interference penalty doesn't really have any bearing on whether the contact happened late. The lateness can just be a modifier to the charge because in being so late, it resulted in Zucker not expecting the hit and being defenseless.

            Call it roughing or unsportsman like conduct if you want. I'll call it late.

                      Please post this "rule" from a credible source.

                      I don't mean post your friend, the hockey official's opinion. Post the rule itself that you are quoting.

                        Good explanation of the act of "finishing a check" as it relates to the NHL:

                        http://blogs.thescore.com/nhl/2011/03/14/on-finishing-the-check/

                        "Had Savard been pursuing the puck as opposed to just having shoveled it along the boards, Hunwick probably would have been slapped with an interference penalty on the play. Instead, Hunwick is allowed by NHL rules to rub Savard out along the boards. Savard himself even declared the hit perfectly legal, and under NHL rules – it is."

                          Don't cite the NHL. Cite the rule.

                          It was late.

                            I'll look for the rule book after I get off work. I'd like to see the actual wording too. I'm guessing I won't find any penalties for "late hits". I'll let you know the actual definition of interference though

                              Oh, then it must not have been late. What an idioitic statement. There isn't a specific penalty for pulling a knife out of your waistband and stabbing someone with it, but guess what? They would still call a penalty.
