Got a question on rule clarification, comments on rule enforcements or some memorable NHL stories? Kerry wants to answer your emails at cmonref@tsn.ca! Hi Kerry, Aside from all of the missed call in last nights Bruins/Rangers game, the most puzzling one was when two players on opposing teams were struck by high sticks on the same play. The other night, Tyler Seguin was hit with a high stick and almost at the same time Seguins stick came up and hit Chris Kreider as well. Both players went to the ice holding their face, yet there was no call on either side.What is the correct ruling for that? Should each offending player have gotten a high sticking penalty off-setting? Or if one caused the other to occur as he was reacting, is there cause and effect rule? Finally, what I was really curious about; if each player was assessed a penalty for high-sticking, but one player was cut and one wasnt, would there be a power play for the bloodied player? Thanks, keep your rulings coming! Tim Rasmusson Tim: That really was a bizarre play; the likes of which I have seen before. The correct ruling on the play should have been a double minor penalty assessed to Steve Eminger of the NY Rangers for cutting/injuring (as reported) the face of Tyler Seguin. No penalty would result to Seguin for the normal follow through of his shot that cut Chris Kreider. Injury to both players occurred almost simultaneously as Seguin was in the act of shooting the puck on goal with Chris Kreider fronting the Bruins player for an attempted shot block. Rule 60.1 provides a caveat to the premise that players must be in control of their sticks at all times. The rule specifically states; "However, a player is permitted accidental contact on an opponent if the act is committed as a normal windup or follow through of a shooting motion, or accidental contact on the opposing center who is bent over during the course of a face-off." The only high-sticking infraction deserving of a penalty on this play was committed by Steve Eminger. It would appear that in the absence of a minor penalty at the very least, this high-sticking incident was undetected by the on-ice Officials. At least one other missed high-sticking infraction occurred very early in the game when Rangers Captain, Ryan Callahan finished a check on Zdeno Chara and cut the Bruins Captain for stitches between the eyes. When a stick reaches the height of Charas head there is little doubt it could only be determined a high stick! That is if the Referees or Linesmen detect it? On this play Chara advanced the puck up-ice from deep in the corner to the left of Tuukka Rask. Ryan Callahan was in a glide path to finish a check on the big defenceman. All eyes of the officiating crew followed the path of the puck exiting the zone and a gap of coverage resulted on the finish of the check. The closest Referee to the play was on the opposite side along the goal line. Since the puck moved beyond the top of the circle and exited the zone he should have remained focused on Callahan and Chara. The linesmen would instinctively focus on the puck as it exited the Bruins zone. The Referee in the neutral zone was now responsible for action on the puck as it entered the neutral zone. The penalty box attendants in Madison Square Garden were not nearly as busy compared to the medical staff of both teams throughout this wild contest. The Rangers find themselves with their backs are against the wall. If they are to fight another day Henrik Lundqvist will have to be even better tonight, if such a thing is even humanly possible. One thing is certain; hes going to need some help and a huge effort from every one of his teammates if the Rangers stand a chance. It would also be advisable for them to keep their sticks down—you cant run the risk that a high-stick infraction will be detected.

England hammered Fiji, Scotland laboured against Argentina but managed victory at the death. Ireland were good in defeat while Wales flattered to deceive. Its the British & Irish Lions, team of the week.?BACKS15 Alex GoodeAfter failing to catch an early high ball, he recovered well to score a try on his first game since the World Cup victory over Uruguay. In a weekend where no other fullback equated themselves with any great performance, Goode gets the nod.14 Semesa RokoduguniHe was impressive against the country of his birth. Despite not playing against the greatest of opposition the winger still had to impress Eddie Jones and did with two tries and a devastating run that saw devastating run ended with Goode scoring.13 Huw Jones It has been quite a good few weeks for Jones, who grabbed a brace against Australia and helped Scotland claw their way back into the game against Argentina. His break, needing three players to take the Stormers centre down, and offload sent Sean Maitland in for a try.12 Garry RingroseWith Robbie Henshaw having to depart after 11 minutes, Ringrose was immense for a player who made his debut the week previous. He provided a spark in attack and put in some huge tackles. He showed international level. Perhaps he shouldve been given a debut a year earlier. Owen Farrell is a worthy mention, as he reached 500 points.11 Elliot DalyDaly showed his class on the wing as he stood out during Englands win over Fiji. His running line for his try saw two Fiji defenders run into each other, but his ability might be tested against better opposition.10 George FordFord showed his class in the first-half as England went ferociously at Fiji. His passing was exquisite and good decision-making saw England take Fiji to task. His kicking still needs some improving.9 Greig LaidlawThe Scottish scrum-half sent Scotland fans home happy as his kick at the death gave them a much-needed victory after the defeat to Australia. He provided quick ball at ruck time and is always an option to take the ball on himself.FORWARDS1 Mako VunipolaIts a weekly occurrence thaat the Saracens front row puts in great performances and he showed once more his international class.dddddddddddd It was his brilliant step off his left foot that led led to Jonathan Josephs early try. The game was done by the time he was replaced.2 Rory BestThe Lions tour would be the perfect swansong for the Irish captain. Irish back row Josh van der Flier stated he was playing the best rugby of his career and if it continues, hell make the trip to New Zealand.3 Tadhg FurlongFurlong backed up his performance against the All Blacks with another brilliant display. He sent brushed the tackle of Owen Franks off before putting Brodie Retallick and Kieran Read on the floor. In defence he put in a great tackle on Julian Savea.4 Joe LaunchburyGrabbed a brace of tries and was busy throughout as England kept Fiji penned inside their own half for much of the game. But with Fiji the opponents, hell need to show more to keep his spot in the pack. Suspension may sideline him however, with World Rugby citing the second row for alleged foul play.5 Jonny GrayHe put in another huge performance and put his body on the line in a sometimes heroic Scottish defence to keep Argentina at bay. He managed two tackles and a carry inside two minutes.6 Josh van der FlierHe has had to bide his time at international level but just as in Chicago, when he replaced Jordi Murphy, van der Flier excelled when replacing the injured CJ Stander. He put in a great defensive effort and a break that should have been rewarded with a try.7 Sam WarburtonIt wouldnt be the Lions without a Welsh player and Warburton, who finished excellently for a Wales try in the second-half, gets the nod. Still getting back to full fitness after injury, its only going to get better for Warburton and Wales.8 Billy VunipolaHe was once again at the heart of the England pack and despite being an injury doubt played the 80 minutes. He will come to the fore as the tests get bigger for England.
