Catalans recorded their third win in nine days as early pacesetters Widnes fell to a 21-8 defeat. Mark Giordano Jersey . Pat Richards early try for the Dragons was all that separated the sides at half-time and although the hosts extended their lead after the interval when Vincent Duport touched down, Corey Thompsons converted score and Rhys Hanburys penalty levelled matters at 8-8 after an hour.But Dave Taylor and Eloi Pelissiers converted tries in the final quarter of an hour, plus Thomas Boscs drop goal, gave Catalans a 21-8 victory, their fourth success in a row, as they moved level on points with the third-placed Vikings in the Super League table. Widnes had topped the standings ahead of the Easter schedule but suffered back-to-back defeats, and they were once again without inspirational captain Kevin Brown in Perpignan.The home side started brightly and had swift reward when Richards crossed in the fourth minute for the opening try.Duport made the initial break and a smart short side play from Pelissier saw Taylor send Richards over in the left corner. Richards missed the conversion. Pat Richards scored for Catalans but was not at his best with the boot Catalans continued to have the better of the first half, but unforced errors prevented Taylor and then Tony Gigot from extending the home sides lead.Gigot then had a video referee decision go against him, determining that Gigot had not returned to the field after putting his foot on the touchline in the build-up to touching down the loose ball.On the stroke of half-time Hanbury missed a penalty attempt from 40 metres out for Widnes.The Dragons were also on top at the start of the second half, and again scored early. Taylor was the provider down the left, this time sending Duport over to score. Again Richards missed with the conversion and the score remained 8-0. Corey Thompsons try was not enough to stop Widnes falling to the Dragons Widnes roared back into the game, building pressure on the Catalans line with a string of penalties and forcing a goal-line drop-out. From that field position a superb wide ball from Joe Mellor sent Thompson in down the right for his 11th try of the season. Hanbury converted to narrow the Catalans lead to two points.A Hanbury penalty goal on the hour mark levelled the score, but Widnes failed to build on their fightback.Taylor scored his try from close range following a fortunate ricochet from Duports kick through. Richards converted from the left to give the hosts a 14-8 lead.With six minutes remaining Bosc added a drop goal from 15 metres before Pelissier wrestled his way over the line to the left of the posts from short range to give the hosts a comfortable last few minutes. Richards converted and Catalans were home and dry. Tyler Graovac Jersey . The game had many controversial incidents that, upon closer inspection, were not as controversial as many believed. The Formations Toronto FC lined up in its usual 4-4-2 formation, with Nick Hagglund slotting in at right fullback and Bradley Orr at centreback in place of the injured Mark Bloom and Steven Caldwell, respectively. Matthew Tkachuk Jersey .

They showered him with "MVP! MVP!" chants. In many ways, it seemed like hed never been gone.Got a question on rule clarification, comments on rule enforcements or some memorable NHL stories? Kerry wants to answer your emails at cmonref@tsn.ca. In Sundays Blackhawks-Penguins game, Pittsburgh defenceman Brooks Orpik laid a huge hit on Chicagos Jonathan Toews. Now in my view, Orpik can be clearly seen leaving his feet while delivering a moderately high hit. Why wasnt there supplemental discipline, and should there have even been a penalty? I thought anytime you leapt or left your feet, a penalty is called! Am I missing something? Stu Alderson Stu: You and I are not the only ones missing something here as players continually elevate their posture and leave their feet at impact to deliver devastating hits. Dangerous and significant contact to the head of their opponent almost always results whenever a player leaves his feet to make a big hit. In the here and now, these hits are deemed "legal." With an eye firmly set on the end game, which I hope still remains to greatly reduce contact to the head and resulting concussions, it is irresponsible to continue down this path any longer. While each camp can passionately debate their respective position on whether to allow or eliminate high hits where significant contact to the head of an opponent results, I respectfully submit this issue should no longer be a matter of personal opinion. Instead, it should only be about "science." Through irrefutable medical evidence, we now know the short and long term effects of blows to the head. This road map can provide us with a clear picture of the end game! Brooks Orpik set up to deliver a body check as he slowed and glided toward Jonathan Toews in the corner. Toews sole intent was to advance the puck around the end wall. In doing so, Jonathan Toews lowered his body posturre to place him (and particularly his head) in a vulnerable position and must share the responsibility for the location of where he was hit. Michael Frolik Jersey. The onus of "how" the contact was delivered and the "degree of force" utilized is exclusively on Brooks Orpik and taken into account by the referee to determine the legality of the check. No differently than the vast majority of current players, Brooks Orpik finished his hit on Jonathan Toews with considerable force as demonstrated by his upward launch with skates high off the ice. This intensified the velocity and violence of the hit regardless of whether Toews was in a vulnerable position or not. In many cases I would even suggest that an opponents apparent vulnerability is something a player will capitalize on to enhance the degree of force exerted through a hit. We certainly dont see many players let up! Rule 42.1 tells us that a minor or major shall be imposed on a player who "jumps into" an opponent. The "jump" element of this rule was once applied when a players skates lost contact with the ice. Charging is seldom called in the current era of the game, where players leave their feet with far more frequency in the act of delivering a body check than ever before. The most common "excuse" for not calling this infraction is that a players skates did not completely leave the ice prior to initiating body contact. This generous and liberal interpretation is extended to include times when the toe tip of one skate remains in contact with the ice at impact. Referees should be directed to impose a charging penalty in every case when a players skates leave the ice in the act of delivering a body check, period. It doesnt take a rocket scientist to see the end game; just a medical scientist!
