Watch as a scrum ensues after the first period ends, and Carolina Hurricanes defenceman Brent Burns catches Florida Panthers forward Matthew Tkachuk in a sensitive area after the whistle. There was no penalty called on the play.

how is that not a penalty wtf?? that should be more serious it's kinda similar to some kind of sexual assault isn't it or whatever you'd call it?? imagine going up behind some girl at your workplace and hitting her vagina with something stick-shaped or like a folder, so fking weird imo..
i get fed up with this play off goonery. maybe the yanks like it . Just wrestling. I turn the TV off fed with Rons nonsense too
Hurricanes still gonna get shutout, bunch of losers
Its Tkachuck so all is forgiven for burns šš
Get my D out of there is right, Mr. Announcer.
I want a better camera angle to confirm that was legit but I would assume the average NHL player has some padding where he was hit but I do not think I have ever seen Burns play dirty like that.
Calling no penalty seems outright wrong though.
You mean the TURTLE that runs players and slew foots has a soft under belly?
Live by the sword, die by the sword.
Didnt his dad say something about them not having tough enough balls. Something like that.
Good god Ron… the time for letting this amature league nonsense go without being called out is over. Who wants to watch a game where you can spear someone in the balls and it isn't even a penalty? Burns should be out for a couple of games. Player safety is an absolute joke – no other pro league allows their players to get hurt with no consequences. The reffing standards are an even bigger joke "put the whistles away boys – we don't want refs deciding the game"… refs proceed to decide the game by ignoring flagrant penalties and reward the team that cheats the most.
I don't even watch playoff hockey when my team isn't involved because I have no idea what the rules are any given period of any given game…. that's not a sport – it's Calvin Ball.
Well that Dang it
Stanley cup finals for the cats baby!!!!!
Welp…looks like Tkachuk finished with the last laugh on this one.
RIP: Carolina. Hey, at least you did better than Dallas! lol
Is anyone going to talk about how the refs called a tripping penalty on Jordan staal which cost them the game š
Should be a penalty if it was done against any player who has any respect for anyone else on the ice, ever. Good non-call since it's Tkachuk, though.
Dirty Canes got whooped!
And then gets series winner. No call. No problem. Finals bound.
He's a Tkachuk, he'll be okay.
Officiating has been brutal this playoffs.
Yupp, missed this call and then Bennett sticks his stick between Andersonās legs and underneath his pad on the winning goal, and that was apparently just fine as well. Ref missed it, league review was fine with it, and this joke panel with an old goalie on it figured it didnāt impede Andersonās ability to make a save on the play. Go figure, when Hrudey played if someone did that to him, I wonder how heād have felt about it? So there you go, instead of screening the goalie looking away from him, get to the very edge of his crease, turn facing him and put your stick between his legs. Half V on the post? Put your stick between his legs, that will keep him on the post and leave the other side of the net open. Thatās the way you can āinadvertentlyā keep the goalie from getting there to make a save. BS
LšVE that Burns did this!! I hope Tkachuk nuts are as big as grapefruits tomorrow. The Refs sucked again tonight in this game. Total favourite for Florida for sure.
Amount missed on panthers doing war crimes this is a step to getting it even as the refs try to do
Most significant think he did all series, bro as a ghost. Good luck hunting and eating elk or whatever you do in the summer.
Wes better not get the cup finals. Guy ruins the game. Absolute worst.
"and I took that personally…"
That was free and democratic slashing, so no penalty!
Dirtiest team im the league, the Larolina Lurricanes, taking Lās and cheap shots on a daily. Im glad youve lost 12 ecfās in a row, and hereās to many more of your Lās your going to takeš„
Speaking of Brady.. was he at the game??
Ooooo.
Did that pea-dough Hradek tell anyone else to "go back to their country" because they refuse to play the weird letter community games?
Amazing the double standard. If you tell an illegal violent felon to "go back to their country" and they are brown, you are a RACIST! REEEEEEEE! But if you tell a Christian white guy to "go back to their country" because they don't want to support abominations, then THAT'S ok and you definitely aren't racist. Reeeeeeee, E.J.
If he had done that to McDavid or Crosby, be a penalty there for sure. Such inconsistency by the refs…
Jamie Benn furiously taking notes.. š
Haha cool. Now players know for next season that they can take whacks at players in the nuts at mere inches from the officials with zero consequences š¤£
Man, people talking about Tkachuk like he didn't try poke checking a goalie in the eye through his mask, lol. Poor little innocent Tkachuk, Burns is such a big meanie š¤£
NHL officiating is getting almost as bad as the NFL. Almost.
So awesome that the Hurricanes got swept. They deserve to have their cap cut to 65 mill forever.for their behavior this series. Garbage team, garbage fans, garbage coach.
Did not understand why Burns didn't get a penalty….two officials right there, I guess spearing in the nuts is allowed?…..i bet if a Florida player came back later in the game and did the same thing to Burns, he would have gotten more than 2 minutes….
i recall tkachuk doing something similar a few weeks ago. fair play
