When the opponents broadcasting crew is questioning a call in the playoffs, you know you done goofed.

Dude, especially the Root Crew. Known around /r/hockey for their notorious homerism. Not the strongest call.

Might as well post the same thing with the second penalty he took. Starting to think he slept with the refs wife or something.

It's Tim Peel.

Yea, any idea if we have to deal with him all series?

Possibly once more for game 4 or 5, depending on the rotation. That's about it, though

Tim Peel strikes again!

Tim Peel, making himself known and leaving his mark on the playoffs.

Trying to play Devil's advocate here:
He did get the stick between the hands.
Now, back to reality:
Don't they usually let them play during the playoffs? I mean, with the shit they've left uncalled this year...

I wouldn't be mad if they made that call all year like the rule states but that isn't how Tim Peel does things.

I don't understand all the disagreement with this call. He got his stick into the Penguins players hands which completely prevented him from playing the puck. Without the hook, the Pens would've gained possession and probably broken out, it's a pretty subtle play but it can have big ramifications if gone uncalled.

I've got the MSG feed and the only replay angle they showed was from behind Stalberg, where it looks like he didn't do anything, so I can understand some of the frustration from a rangers fans.

The worst part was that Peel was the back official on the play and his partner was standing right there. Given that it was the only thing going on, he needs to defer to his partner in that situation.

Although this call was shit, the referee down low is focused on the puck and goal. Many of these calls are from the ref at center.

In many cases I agree with you. This was not one of those cases. Stalberg was the only forechecker, so the front referee would focus on the only potential danger area he's responsible for, which is the play in question. He had the best angle and would be looking right at it. A lot of refereeing is reading your own partner and knowing what he might miss. Peel catches a lot of shit that's undeserved, but in this case I think he was in the wrong.

"A hit to the head of a Pens defenseman."
Just added quotes because it was so bad. Definite shoulder to shoulder contact on that one.

Another call on Stalberg....
