    In 1993, The Toronto Maple Leafs & The LA Kings faced off in the conference finals to determine who would meet the Montreal Canadiens for the Stanley Cup. In that series, we learned what happens when Wayne Gretzky breaks the rules, and gets away with it.

      Personally, when I see this, I see an accident. He took the shot, he was watching where the puck went, and his stick on the recoil hit the player's skate--instinctively/reactively, he moved his stick to avoid tripping the player, and it unfortunately caught him right in the face. That's how I read the play. I don't see any intent to 'stop the player from getting to the puck.'
      But hey, maybe I'm wrong. Playoff hockey is pretty cutthroat.

      somehow got away with it! ,,, was there ever any doubt something like this would happen, of course the refs never saw it to busy putting on those white gloves all 3 of them. it was so set up. by the way i hate the leafs but if were gonna have a major league sport & i mean major league. than do it. otherwise just play beer league shit. its so blatant its laughable

      It's not about a conspiracy. It's about the fact that Toronto was 1 game away from eliminating the Kings. There was no way they were going to call a penalty on Gretzky, which would of sent him packing and given the Leafs a PP in OT. If it had been any other Kings player with the high stick, there's a good chance it would of been called, but not on Gretzky, especially in that particular situation

    3:48 btw, there was no glass at Maple Leaf Gardens. The player's benches were literally just that. Benches. No stanchions to separate the players from the crowd. So when Burns went from his area, he literally walked the aisle where people were going to their seats, and literally could have got in the Kings' coach's face had he not been held back. In fact, crowd members could actually walk by and say things to players as they walked by, but somehow, everyone respected that the players and coaches were working. Hockey culture, I guess?

    I don't know what Fraser specifically said about it, but it seems like an exceptionally fast flick of the stick. If he deliberately chose not to call it that's one thing, but I've gone through it frame by frame and it was a nanosecond in time. I understand that Fraser was on the ice and had a much clearer view, but to me, this was a very easy call to not see.

    Maybe Wayne Gretzky is born to parents that live in Hamilton, Mississippi and he never laces up a pair of skates. He takes a job at a company named Tronox and he is set to retire after 45 years as an employee next April. He'll probably get a $250 Walmart gift card and a little party during the swing shift lunch time with some cake. Then he plans to finish the shed he started building 2 years ago, he's got the concrete mix for the floor already so there's no excuses. His wife died 13 years ago from liver disease, she was an alcoholic. He's got a dog named Gordie. In this scenario Kerry Fraser does not alter history but the Maple Leafs lose in Game 7 to the Habs 8-2 and the next season they win only 14 games.

      The Kings were the better team in game 7, as they were in 2 other games in the series, and the Leafs were the better team in 3 of the games. The point of this is that Gretzky should of been out of the game and the Leafs should of had a PP in OT. It doesn't matter who the 2 teams are, that's the way it should of been. There's no way of knowing if they would of won the game or not but in that specific situation, there's a very good chance.

    Not hard to miss that call. Kerry is across the rink, Gilmore has his back to him. Nobody saw it. It's only on a slo-mo replay that you realize it was Gretzky's stick and not the puck that hit Gilmore in the face. It's hard for new hockey fans to understand how the game was played before instant replay, coach's challenges, four refs, and NHL head office monitoring every play. Also, penalties were not handed out like participation ribbons in the playoffs like they are today. The NHL is softer than a marshmallow today and the product on the ice reflects it.

      I dunno about that, I mean there is no doubt that Gretzky did the high stick, and he should have gotten penalized.

I have a strong feeling he would've accepted that penalty without protest would it have gotten called. He was just real lucky it didn't.

Today being involved with the NHL, I've come to truly appreciate how Officials are more in tune with the game. With the amazing speed and skill of the players, it is NO easy job. The linesman and the Referee's are truly out there to be the best at their profession. And, yes, while some calls are missed (via the fans ability to view replays in Super Slow motion) I believe todays Officials do an overall fantastic job in a Thankless profession. They grow tough skin to reach the NHL level and are some of the best conditioned athletes out there.
    I truly enjoy the game more today as the overall level of play is amazing. "It's Always a Great Day for Hockey!" (Still holding out for a Leafs Cup final run)
