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.
 
Re: Suspend Kyle Rau for as long as Jason Zucker is unable to play!

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

"Had Savard been pursuing the puck as opposed to <b>just having shoveled it</b> along the boards, Hunwick probably would have been slapped with an interference penalty on the play. Instead, Hunwick <b>is allowed by NHL rules</b> 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.

It's really a dumb argument I admit because it doesn't really matter much in the grand scheme of things or effect the outcome. I have just heard a lot of people refer to the hit as a "late hit". There isn't a penalty in hockey for a "late hit".

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.

Not in the NHL. :p
 
Re: Suspend Kyle Rau for as long as Jason Zucker is unable to play!

Just checked, nothing specifically written in the NCAA rule book for how long you are allowed to "finish a check" after puck possession. However, there are numerous discussions and articles that mention the general guideline of a few seconds after a puck carrier relinquishes possession to finish a check.

Oh, and no penalty for a "late hit" either.

JUST BECAUSE THERE ISN'T A PENALTY CALLED "LATE HIT" DOESN'T MEAN THE HIT WASN'T LATE. No one said he was sent to the box for a late hit penalty. They said the hit was late. It was late. Tardy. After the point it was a legal hockey play. THE END.
 
Re: Suspend Kyle Rau for as long as Jason Zucker is unable to play!

I see that Mariucci still won't stop incessently arguing the dumbest effing points ever. Even if and I mean if the hit wasn't late - and I'd argue it was - it was still a charge and he didn't need to make the contact that he did. Had he let up, kept the hands chest high to eliminate any questions about a hit to the head and not finished we might, might be able to discuss at worst a charge. None of that happened, the hit was unnecessary and he deserved to leave the game.

Are you suggesting that there are never hits in hockey that occur after the puck carrier relinquishes possession that aren't called for a reason?
 
Re: Suspend Kyle Rau for as long as Jason Zucker is unable to play!

It was late. It was late enough to be interference but it was so much easier to call "attempt to decapitate" and send him off the ice.

You've been asked to show a rule using the phrase "two seconds," you didn't. You've been asked to show a rule showing the phrase "a few seconds," you didn't.

Face it, if that hit were your girlfriend, you'd be discussing whether you should get married now.

No. There are hits that happen immediately after a player relinquishes possession where the hitter can't avoid hitting the opposing player. This isn't one of those hits.
