Got a question on rule clarification, comments on rule enforcements or some memorable NHL stories? Kerry wants to answer your emails at cmonref@tsn. Air Force 1 Billig Kaufen .ca! Okay Kerry, defend your boys. Why no call on Johnny Boychuks hit on Jonathan Toews in the second period on Saturday night? And even though there was no call, isnt that hit exactly what the league is trying to get rid of? Doesnt it warrant a suspension? Chris Schweitzer Chris: I only defend "the boys" when I believe they are right. Rest assured there have been many occasions when they have not been very happy with me for disagreeing with one of their calls through this column. In spite of this, I continually answer hockey fan questions with honesty, fairness and my expressed opinion. I am not in favour of any contact that is delivered to the head of an opponent; accidental or otherwise! I would like nothing better than to see it totally eliminated from the game for the sake of every players safety and future health. Even though the league is making an effort to provide for player safety the reality is that much more needs to be done on all fronts to change the dangerous hitting culture we see within the game. No one is going to change it prior to game six of the Stanley Cup Final. We have to deal with the current rules and a standard of enforcement, both on and off the ice, which can often be described as inconsistent. Jonny Boychuk certainly deserved a penalty for elevating his hands to deliver a hit on Jonathan Toews. That action (hand/gloves near head,) given the circumstance with which it was delivered, constitutes a minor penalty for roughing. Boychuks hands appear to contact the name plate on the back of Toews sweater and ride up. While I recognize that a two-fisted glove hit can do considerable damage when delivered with velocity, the positioning of both players just prior to the contact must be taken into account. The language of Rule 48 (Illegal Check to the Head) explains that, "in determining whether such a hit should have been permitted, the circumstances of the hit, including whether the opponent put himself in a vulnerable position immediately prior to or simultaneously with the hit or the head contact on an otherwise legal body check was avoidable, can be considered." Jonny Boychuk did not use his elbow to make contact with Towes upper body or head which, as we have seen in some cases, result in a suspension. I dont believe Boychuk targeted Toews head nor did he even intend to strike Toews as high as he did. In the fast action of real time, Jonathan Toews turned his body exposing his back to Boychuk in addition to lowering his posture considerably just prior to the hit being delivered. This last second alteration resulted in Boychuks illegal hand use on the intended hit to ride up and make contact to the neck and lower part of Toews head. A precedent has been set not to suspend a player when his opponent alters his body posture significantly just prior to a hit that results in some contact to the head. I see this play no differently. You and I can only hope that over the remaining summer months real consideration will be given to tightening up the standard which could greatly reduce contact to the head.

Alex Smith couldnt hear himself talking to his teammates. Dwayne Bowe said the deafening din inside Arrowhead Stadium reminded him of college. Just imagine what it must have been like for the Oakland Raiders. Buoyed by the loudest crowd to attend an outdoor sporting event, the unbeaten Chiefs took advantage of three second-half interceptions thrown by Terrelle Pryor to pull away for a 24-7 victory Sunday. It was the first time in seven meetings at Arrowhead Stadium that the Chiefs (6-0) had beaten the Raiders (2-4), and it allowed them to press on with the second-best start in franchise history. The Chiefs won their first nine games during the 2003 season. "Every win is a great win, and when you can win with a crowd like this, it makes it even better," Reid said. "That was loud, real loud. The ground was shaking." According to an official from Guinness World Records, the volume reached 137.5 decibels in the closing minutes of the game, breaking the record of 136.6 set by Seahawks fans earlier this year. "I was sitting there on the sideline and I could tell, its a hard environment to execute in," said Smith, who threw for just 128 yards but didnt make any big mistakes. "It was pretty special." It wouldnt have been nearly as special without a win. Jamaal Charles ran for two touchdowns, and the Chiefs had 10 sacks while ending a three-game skid to the Raiders (2-4). They also held Darren McFadden, a thorn in their side, to 52 yards rushing. "We were right there in the game, and we were punching back and forth," said Pryor, who threw for 216 yards and a touchdown. "I lost the game for us." Thats because the Chiefs turned his three interceptions into 17 points. The first led to Charles go-ahead touchdown in the third quarter, the second resulted in Ryan Succops 33-yard field in the fourth quarter and Husain Abdullah returned the final one 44 yards for a score with 1:35 left. Part of the problem, Pryor said, was the combination of crowd noiise and a patchwork offensive line. Huarache Größentabelle. On one possession, Pryor was twice whistled for delay of game penalties because third-string centre Mike Brisiel couldnt hear him. Oakland also had a false start on the same drive, which ended in a punt. The Raiders finished with 11 penalties for 68 yards. "Its a tough environment, but weve got to be mentally strong as a team," Pryor said. "I know sometimes I let it get away from me with the delay of game. Like I said, its experience." Oakland actually struck first in the second quarter when Denarius Moore beat Chiefs defensive back Marcus Cooper, starting in place of the injured Brandon Flowers, on a quick slant over the middle. Moore caught the pass from Pryor in stride and went 39 yards for the touchdown. It remained 7-0 until the waning minutes of the first half, when the Chiefs took over at the Oakland 45. Pass interference on the Raiders D.J. Hayden on third-and-10 kept the drive alive, and Charles squirmed the 7 yards for the tying score with 1:06 left. The Chiefs were poised to take the lead early in the third quarter, but Hayden stripped Donnie Avery of the ball inside the Oakland 10 and Charles Woodson recovered it. But the Raiders gave it right back when Kansas City brought a blitz and Pryor lobbed a pass that Quintin Demps picked off. Five plays later, Charles plunged into the end zone to give the Chiefs a 14-7 lead. The way their defence was playing, that proved to be enough. Kansas City kept up the heat on Pryor the rest of the way -- on one drive, two penalties and two sacks left the Raiders facing fourth-and-48 at their 12. Not even their punt made it to the first down marker. Coopers interception set up Succops field goal with 2 minutes left to put the game out of reach, and Abdullahs pick-6 left the crowd packed inside Arrowhead Stadium rocking at the end. "Opportunistic team," Woodson said. "Theyve been doing it all year long, late in games coming up with turnovers and things like that to give them a chance to win. Thats what happened today." ' ' '
