Got a question on rule clarification, comments on rule enforcements or some memorable NHL stories? Kerry wants to answer your emails at cmonref@tsn. Devin Booker Jersey .ca. We break from the Cmon Ref mailbag for a day to answer an interesting question asked of me last night @kfraserthecall on Twitter. Kerry:Whats your view on officials calling a penalty on Bryce Salvadore after watching the replay on the arena screen? It appeared there was a high stick, but it wasnt called. Fans were loud, refs watched video, then made the call. Devils coach Peter DeBoer went nuts.Steve @08008steve Steve:Thank you for providing this question. It is somewhat unusual, but certainly not impossible for a penalty to be changed following a conference held amongst the on-ice officials. Based on the reaction of Peter DeBoer, his players on the bench and commentary on both broadcast feeds, a perception in varying degrees existed that the call was changed only after the officials viewed the replay on the scoreboard in the Wells Fargo Center. We will never know for certain if the smoking gun was handed to the officials courtesy of the replay. I have a different take on the situation following the immediate support that was provided to young referee Mark Lemelin by his colleagues in a conference once it became apparent the wrong player (Steve Downie of the Flyers) was being sent to the penalty box. I believe this was going to take place irrespective of anyone who might have snuck a peak at the Jumbotron on the way to this meeting of the minds! In fairness to the young referee, his assignments are split between the AHL and NHL. Things happen much more quickly in the NHL and it can be baptism under fire once any player or official moves up to this ultimate level of the game. There is something to be learned from every game worked and experience is a great teacher. On this play the young referee correctly raised his arm for a delayed high-sticking penalty when Matt Read of the Flyers clipped Bryce Salvadore on the side of the head while delivering a body check on the Devils player against the boards in front of the penalty box. Following the impact of the check, Salvadores stick came up and caught Downie in the face as the Flyer approached from the frontal position. In effect there were two high sticking infractions that occurred almost simultaneously on the same play. Lemelin however was looking through the back of Downie from a considerable distance in the end zone and did not see Salvadores stick strike the Flyer forward. Not yet all that familiar with NHL team personnel, he mistook Downie for Read in the quickness of the play and the close proximity of the three players. Once play was stopped, the ref approached Salvadore to see if any injury resulted from the "Matt Read" high stick. Mistakenly, the ref then imposed the penalty to Steve Downie who was also rubbing his face and checking to see if he had all his teeth following the high stick he received from Salvadore. From the players bench side it would have been obvious to the other officials (and the teams) that it was Downie that was struck by the stick of Salvadore. Once it was announced that Downie was assessed the penalty, a quick conference was convened by the other members of the crew to straighten out the confusion. What was lost in the correction process was the initial high-stick that the young ref correctly signaled when Salvadore was struck with Reads stick. I am certain it happened in a flash and a blur in the Lemelins eye and mind. Once it was brought to his attention by the other officials that Downie took a stick in the face the young ref would question his initial take on the play and defer to the senior members of the crew. That is the most logical way that this situation played out. That being said, we often see a camera shot of a coach on the bench pointing up to a replay on the big screen when he feels the official has blown a call. In that example the coach has no problem using the replay to his benefit even though the call wont likely be changed. The officials dont skate around the ice with horse blinders on so Im not saying the temptation to peak at the Jumbotron is out of the question when they grope with getting a call right. As long as the League allows in-house replays, who could blame any of the officials if they happened to skate to the conference with their head held high - you never know whats playing at a theatre near you!

World Cup. It draws a wide audience from afar with eyes becoming fixed on it that would more often than not be drawn to distraction if it were called something else. That is why many sports have a World Cup rather than calling it the World Trophy or World Championships of Football, for example. Many sports across the globe have enjoyed the World Cup bump and the most popular of them is all is no different. The next phase of this starts Saturday right here in Canada when a third important word is added. World Cup draw. The draw for the Womens World Cup in Ottawa on Saturday is the start of the legacy that will be the 2015 World Cup in Canada. A legacy that can last beyond a lifetime. Of course, the draw itself is incredibly important for all 24 teams that are involved and it will create plenty of permutations once it is complete but the draw is much more magical than just that. Ticket holders across Canada and the world will watch the draw very differently than everyone else. These are the lucky ones. Having already signed up to play a part in the motion picture they now get to see which stars they will be with. Right now ticket holders in Winnipeg, for example, will be looking at their ticket purchases and anxiously wondering which teams will be slotted in Group D and, therefore, based in the city to play each of their first two group games. Likewise, for Edmonton with Group A, Ottawa in Group B, Vancouver in Group C, Montreal in Group E and Moncton in Group F. Major tournaments like the World Cup are about much more than what happens on the field. The majority of the players and staff of the countries will be visiting these cities for the first time and will get a thorough look at what makes Canada so great. Canadians across the country can play a massive part in that as well. At the 1996 European Championships in England, the Czech Republic team were based in my home city following the draw. They lived amongst us for the best part of three weeks as they went on a magical run to the final. Having interacted with the locals in around the area when training or eating out, for example, they had captured the hearts of many. The same will happen in Canada next summer. The majority of the ticket holders will never have seen most of the countries play before and wont know many of their players at the moment. Saturdays draw (live on TSN1, TSN3 and TSN4 at Noon et/9am pt) is the first step in that process. Memories will be created next summer and after the draw you will know which teams will fuel those memories. When you talk to people about their past World Cup experiences many of the stories begin on the draw date when they discovered who they would watch. For such an important event the draw can often frustrate in how it is delivered. Watchiing the show that is the FIFA World Cup draw is the opposite of attending a friends wedding. David Ortiz Jersey. Often youll show your face for the important part, the ceremony when key words are exchanged, but really you cant wait for the music, speeches and party afterwards. The World Cup draw gives you all of that first but most fans just cannot wait for the draw itself to take place when the true key words are delivered. After shouting terms such as get on with it for the best part of an hour, FIFA then cruelly does exactly that and by the time the draw starts it is like watching it on fast forward with names being allocated into slots quicker than you have time to write them down. To enjoy it you are best to do a little preparation. If you have tickets or plans to attend certain games in the tournament you can see now which teams will fill those slots before the draw takes place. I had that experience as a fan at the 2006 Mens World Cup and it is a great feeling to see who you have tickets to watch. The second thing to keep an eye on is who will be grouped with Canada. Canada is the only team that has been secured a slot in the draw, placed as A1 being that they are the hosts. John Herdmans team will play their first two games of the group in Edmonton, including the first on the opening day of the tournament, Saturday June 6. They finish the group in Montreal nine days later. Being seeded means they will be one of the favourites to win the group but there will be tough teams in pot two that they will be looking to avoid. In case Canada finish second in the group keep an eye out for whoever is placed in Group C. It is one thing for Canada to be given a difficult group but if C is seen as one of the weakest this could help Herdmans side in the knockout stages. If they take that route look to see who get seeded in Group D as they would be the likely quarterfinal opponents. USA, Japan and Germany will come to Canada as the true favourites to lift the World Cup. Canadians may be hoping none of those teams are given D1 but that is the seed spot those teams will want. Unlike the Mens World Cup, with 24 teams featured, there are only six seeded teams to top groups at the draw but four are less favourable than A1 and D1 as a quarter final match awaits against a group winner in all of the other groups. The winners of Groups A and D not only play a team that finished third in the last 16 but also a group runner up in the last eight. In other words, should Canada win the group they will likely avoid bigger obstacles that will face many of their opponents and wont meet a group winner (C or E winners, should they progress) into the semifinals. There is much work to be done before then but following the tournament on paper is about to get even more fun starting with the draw.
