if the player without possession does not move their body in an attempt to stop the puck and only attempts to play at the puck with their stick (ie lifting up your chest to allow the puck to bounce off it) - then it is not deemed as illegal and is the attacking (player who flicked) players fault for flicking it into their body and could be deemed as a dangerous flick depending on the severity. |
Its always easy to see it from behind the computer screen.
In a game you only have seen something 1 time in a split second.
And on that you must made a decision “legal or illegal”
So there will be reffs that call this illegal and there will be reffs that call it legal.
Something we can but the reff in the water not is look more times to the movie.

Hamisch: In the first video it is questionable whether the player attempted to stop the puck with their body (i.e moved their body into the line of the flick) or was simply flicked into and could not get out of the way.

Photo 1: When the player is doing the flick. On the same moment the other player moves his stick and hand upwards. On this photo you can see that the gloves is still on the bottom. Like the most of his arm.
Photo 2: On photo 2 you see that the puck already left the stick from the player that made the flick and the player that want to stop the puck lift his glove and stick to intercept the puck. (only the elbow is still on the bottom from the pool.
Photo 3: You can see he catch the puck with his inside hand/wrist. And the arm has left complete the bottom of the pool.
