Got a question on rule clarification, comments on rule enforcements or some memorable NHL stories? Kerry wants to answer your emails at cmonref@tsn. Bruno Caboclo Jersey .ca! Good Day Kerry, I have been involved with hockey for 52 years. I grew up and continue to live in the town of Forest, Ontario. Your father used to coach the AAA midgets in Sarnia when I was a Juvenile hockey player in Forest. The midgets used to play in the Juvenile league. We had some great games back then. No one worried about getting hurt. It was a great time. I also used to play hockey with Terry Gregson at the University of Western Ontario. He lived on the same floor in residence. Enough of my rambling. If your schedule permits I would be interested in your thoughts on this. I was sitting at the dinner table tonight having supper and watching the hockey highlights from the Boston/Tampa Bay game and witnessed the Steven Stamkos incident. It was obvious from what I saw that Dougie Hamilton took out Stamkoss legs. The result is a broken keg. Was there a penalty? Should there have been one? Thank you,Allan J. Wilson --- Hi Kerry, like your column. I watched the Steven Stamkos injury play today - on the replay it looked like Dougie Hamilton gave him a quick shot to the back or quick cross-check causing Stamkos to propel uncontrolled into the goal post - possibly Im wrong but it sure looked that way on the three replays I watched. The referee appeared to be in a very good position to see this but called no penalty. Im curious if you saw it the same and since there no penalty but a serious injury might the league look at this or given the perceived or real bias towards the Bruins and a few other teams is this likely to go unpunished whether I am correct or not? JB Allan and JB:Witnessing the snap of Steven Stamkos tibia against the goal post brought an immediate sick feeling to my stomach no differently than watching Pat Peake, the Washington Capitals first pick in the 91 Amateur Draft (14th overall), shatter his right heel in 14 places as he raced to negate an icing in a game on April 26, 1996 against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Peake went airborne from just below the goal line after getting a nudge on the back of his skate from J.J. Daigneault. The tripping penalty I assessed to Daigneault on the play was of little consolation to the budding Caps star who was forced to retire from the game two years later following multiple surgeries at the tender age of 23. We can only hope that Stamkos will recover fully from the surgery he underwent on Tuesday following what I deem to be an unfortunate accident as a result of minor body contact exerted by Bruins talented young defenceman Dougie Hamilton. The fact that Stamkos did not have the puck and the contact or "nudge" was initiated by Hamilton which caused Stamkos to lose his footing, a minor penalty could have been called for interference. The location and extent of contact however was very difficult to ascertain even with slow-motion replay so it would be almost impossible for the Ref to determine interference had been committed as both players went hard to the net. With Hamilton jumping up on the play and racing toward the net Stamkos took the inside lane away with a solid back check. Hamilton is seen approaching from behind and makes a downward chop in an attempt to eliminate Stamkos stick for a potential rebound. The two players were almost hip to hip as Stamkos applied the brakes and started to snow plough near the top of the goal crease. Hamilton nudged Stamkos on the hip or pushed off as the two players were in contact with one another causing the Lightning superstar to lose his footing and crash into the goal post. The result was sickening for sure as Stamkos sustained a serious injury. Aside from Steven Stamkos, I would bet there isnt anyone that feels worse about the injury than Dougie Hamilton. There was no malicious intent or aggressive physical contact demonstrated by Hamilton on this play. Incidental contact and battles for position like this happen frequently throughout every game that can result in a loss of balance and fall to one or both players. I see this as one of those unfortunate times. It was great to reconnect with you Allan but todays NHL is played at an unbelievably fast pace where injuries such as this do occur and we werent susceptible to as young players. I am sure you have followed Steven Stamkos from his Junior "A" days with the Sarnia Sting and know what a truly great person he is beyond just his superstar status as a hockey player. We wish Steven Stamkos the very best for a full and speedy recovery. Authentic Delon Wright Jersey . -- Al Jefferson found a groove just in time for the Charlotte Bobcats. Terrence Ross Jersey . Toronto has dropped games to Indiana and Miami since a five-game winning streak and closed out a three-game road trip at 1-2. http://www.raptorsnbateamshop.com/Customized/ .1 million pounds ($61.2 million) on Saturday, giving the beleaguered English Premier League champions a major lift. MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- The Miami Dolphins red zone offence took plenty of snaps Saturday night -- and finally produced a touchdown. The first team scored its only TD just before halftime on its 17th play inside the Tampa Bay 20, but the Buccaneers scored with 1:03 left in the game to win 17-16. Miamis starters netted 180 yards playing the entire first half, their most extensive outing in four exhibition games. Ryan Tannehill went 17 for 27 for 150 yards and a 4-yard score to Brandon Gibson with 10 seconds left in the half for a 13-10 lead. "We did some good things," Tannehill said. "We moved the ball well. But we didnt finish when we got into the red zone. When you get that close after moving all the way down the field, you really want to score touchdowns." Gibson and Brian Hartline dropped potential scoring passes, and twice Miami settled for short field goals. "We have to catch the ball more consistently, no doubt about it," coach Joe Philbin said. "I cant tell you the rhythm offensively was great tonight. It didnt feel that way to me. Its got to get better." Miami fell to 1-3 with one exhibition game left. The Buccaneers improved to 1-2, but their first-team offence sputtered again. Tampa Bays Josh Freeman went 6 for 16 for 59 yards, took five sacks and lost a fumble while playing 2 1/2 quarters. The turnover came at midfield with 1:29 left in the first half and led to Miamis lone touchdown. "It was an uphill battle," Freeman said. "We really werent in sync like wed like to be. There were a number of things that we have to get cleaned up." Freemans performance was part of the problem, coach Greg Schiano said. "The quarterback play was not what I wanted it to be," he said. "The good thing is that we have two weeks before the season starts, because were going to need every day of it." Tampa Bay had an edge in special teams, with backup linebacker Adam Hayward making two fumble recoveries on the punt coverage team, which led to the Bucs first 10 points. One turnover came after the kick hit blocker Nolan Carroll, and returner Marcus Thigpen lost a fumble. Thigpen later had a 38-yard punt return. The takeaways pleased former Dolphins head coach Dave Wannstedt, who is in his first year as Tampa Bays special teams coach. "Witth the exception of that one return, I thought our special teams played outstanding," Schiano said. Delon Wright Jersey. Miami began the game with a 17-play drive that took 8 1/2 minutes -- but settled for a field goal. Tannehill completed six consecutive passes during the possession, including one on fourth down. "Im moving in the right direction," the second-year quarterback said. "There are still some plays I should be better at, but Im learning and try not to make the same mistake twice." It was another slow start by the Bucs defence, which allowed the Patriots Tom Brady to go 8 for 8 on a game-opening touchdown drive last week. Lamar Miller had the edge on Daniel Thomas in their competition for the job as Miamis No. 1 running back. Miller had eight carries for 35 yards, including a 20-yard run on his first carry against the Bucs stout run defence. Thomas carried seven times for 3 yards. "Lamar appeared to run the ball well," Philbin said. "Daniel never really got untracked in the running game, it seemed, but I cant tell you it was all his fault." Two-time Pro Bowl guard Davin Joseph, who missed Tampa Bays entire 2012 season because of a right knee injury, played for the first time this preseason but couldnt give the ground game much of a boost. Brian Leonard led Tampa Bay with 38 yards rushing and a score in 10 carries. The Bucs Mike Williams was targeted seven times but caught only two passes. David Douglas scored for the second week in a row when he caught a 12-yard pass from Mike Glennon with 1:03 left. Tampa Bay backup defensive end Trevor Scott had three sacks. Cornerback Darrelle Revis, who began practicing with the Bucs first defensive unit this week, sat out his third exhibition game in a row as he comes back from knee surgery. Left guard Carl Nicks (infected left big toe) and running back Doug Martin (head) were also sidelined. Veteran Rian Lindell, signed this week by the Bucs because Lawrence Tynes has a toe infection, kicked a 38-yard field goal. Rookie Caleb Sturgis, who has clinched a job with the Dolphins, went 3 for 3 on field goals. Notes: The Dolphins outgained the Bucs 312-160 but lost the turnover contest 4-1. ... Tannehill has a 98.6 passer rating this preseason. ... Miami second-year coach Philbin fell to 1-7 in exhibition games.
