Not many penalties called in game 1. Scratched in game 2 and Luxmore on the case tonight. Recipe for a surprise.
what a shithead - guy sounds like a fucking incel, but also what the hell made someone seek out to expose Nolan Patrick’s burner?
That is a good question unless one of his friends exposed him. They found his email and then they found that he followed all of his irl friends on that acct apparently
Dude's also dealing with a ton of CTE. Doesn't excuse his comments, but the guy has real issues with his brain.
This doesn’t make sense. The only games they had were during the draft, there was plenty of time after for hockey if they wanted.
The guy in charge of determining whether or not their should be a challenge has been their for years and literally hits at like 95%.
So 19/20? Just trying to get some numbers here. How does it compare to other good teams at challenging?
actually literally exactly 19/20 starting in 2020-21 they're not great at interference challenges though
At least for offside reviews it’s dumb that a team reviews to then have the officials perform the same review. It’s an objective call so the double review is pointless. Either treat it like VAR where the league reviews all goals for it (but don’t actually do this) or make the teams go in blind to add more risk in challenging.
Seems like an easy solution is a timeframe to challenge and a timeframe for the officials to decide one way or another.
This is a solution looking for a problem imo What's the downside of letting teams review before they challenge? It's not like the current rules delay the game. You have to initiate the challenge before the next face-off. The objective of review is to get as many calls right as possible. This would just result in less of that.
The problem is he’s just so big. He doesn’t do anything really egregious at all on this one. Physics just takes over.
He hit him in the head. Doesn’t matter if you’re a lot bigger than the guy you’re hitting. The onus is on the hitter to make a clean hit, even if they have to try harder to do it than a smaller guy.
I get it but what I’m saying the technique or whatever isn’t targeting the head or trying to do anything egregious. He’s not raising a shoulder or elbow towards the head. He’s just big and it’s how his body just lines up. I’m not sure how he avoids it
Get lower. Hedman and Bahl have never had issues not hitting people in the head. I mean Rempe hit 6-4 Siegenthaler in the head.
Haven’t had 1 good zone entry on the PP all series and the guy great at them has decided to return to college would already be a top 3 forward on this team
I don’t love it but he loads the hit right as the puck is being reversed. I’ve seen plenty of hits later it’s just that this one is also so heavy. If he got a penalty I wouldn’t complain but I don’t think it was awful.
That’s a random thought here but that hit from lafreniere was perfectly legal but It is also very dangerous and taking advantage of a guy in a vulnerable position, I am sure the caps won’t forget it and he will have to pay for it next year.
Lafreniere is an honest player though so it is a bit different but I remember seeing a game at the bell center and I understood why Emelin was so hated, he used to hit players at the worst time possible all the time. Right when they would get a little unbalanced and a little off the boards he would hit to try to put their heads in the boards. That is what lafreniere did, but he was just finishing his check in the playoffs. And the guy had the puck, emelin used to do it right after a pass
yeah, I added some. It was not a dirty play because iofro just got caught by a bigger and stronger player but I am sure there will be some bad blood. It will not happen during the playoffs unless a game gets out of hand
-1 goals on 6 power plays is always fun you have more shorties than we have PP goals on the season, it’s a hilarious mismatch
