how much of this is Gaborik's fault for not keeping his head up?

He dropped his stick and held up his arms to defend himself because gaborik was hauling ass directly into him because he wasn't paying attention.

I assume some of you play hockey. Does anybody know if I can get a cheap pair of hockey skates for pond hockey this winter? I heard you can get Bauer skates fitted to your foot for $50

Exactly, but apparently we're not speaking English here.
As for the crease issue, since the removal of the goal-disallowed rule the crease has almost no purpose aside from loosely contributing to goaltender interference calls and disallowing icings. And if you ref for a the omha, Seward, someone needs to tell them they need new refs. NHL referees screw up on a daily basis, and anyone who watches a lot of hockey understands the penalty standards just as well as that fucknut Marouelli. In fact they're the only people I can think of who are allowed to be almost completely incompetent on multiple occasions and not be fired. Last week I saw a player push another guy with both hands in the chest, he snapped his head back, and the ref called high sticking. They're fucking blind sometimes.

completely legal but very dangerous. anybody remember what happened to clint malarchuk? youtube his name and take a peak. not pretty. and that was from a seemingly harmless play. anytime the goalie slides his head on the ground where the players skates are, its mad sketchy. the league instituted a rule preventing goalies from going into the corners, thereby protecting them from being run by charging players, so why not institute a rule that prevents them from coming out to the blueline and flopping around to stop a puck? i guess its hard to figure out where to draw the line, but hasek does way too much flopping around. one of these days, he's gonna get stepped on and things are going to change.

what would the call be if a defender skated towards a guy and layed down in front of him?

What do you show a Wild fan to make him cry?
The Western Conference standings.
Until you're ahead of us, you can't say shit. And that hasn't been the case since... ever. Last time the Wild won a division title was in your dreams.
Woozy, dude, you're a moron. We've already established that you're wrong, no one agrees with you, particularly not people who know anything about hockey, and just so you know, no one in the modern history of the National Hockey League has been called for "Clipping". Thanks for coming out, now quit while you're behind.

Incorrect record. It was called tripping, not clipping. Clipping is not a 2 minute minor penalty.
You know, this is just more proof that you can know a rule book by heart, and look through statistics and game record sheets until your eyes blur, but still have no feeling for or understanding of a game.

ya ya ya something that looked hurtful/exciting happened, ref was all like oh shit that's gotta be something, blows his whistle on instinct, calls a trip as a result, shit happens, they would have reviewed it if they weren't up 5-0

As a side note, how exactly could he have gotten seriously injured? Dude is covered in pads, has a helmet, wasn't about to collide into the wall or anyone else... he just flipped over onto his side, to pads... if he had landed on his back, he would have landed on... pads... where does it get overly dangerous?
