These guys get paid millions of dollars to play a game, a lifetime of living in a fugue and an elevated suicide risk is just part of the job so they should stop crying about a little boo-boo on their head.

ThinkTank posted:Funnily enough the Hull thing was the league half assedily implementing a rule to make up for the uncertainty around goaltender interference, just like they're doing here with reviews. If they'd left well enough alone no one would really remember the Stars first cup. I think the chances of a Stanley Cup winner being affected by an obviously blown offside call are far lower than the likelihood of it happening due to the idiocy around a situation like Forsberg's skate. *Puts on referee jersey* That image does not show a player that is offside. The key reason is because the puck hasn't actually entered the zone yet. The key decision is actually once the puck has fully crossed the blue line so the next frame, or if the players are moving fast enough, an interpolation between the two frames, would actually be determinative. However, xzzy posted:If the nhl spent more than fifteen bucks on their blue line cameras, it would be pretty easy to determine offsides. So they don't have that point in time so we are left guessing. hifi posted:I think i'd trade any attempt at fixing the offsides challenge for being able to challenge penalties. Everyone in the NHL repeats the mantra of "well we gotta get it right" and then it seems like every other game there's a slow motion shot of a guy whiffing on a high stick and getting called for it anyways. You can get a high stick for threatening or carrying in a threatening manner, not just actual contact.

ThinkTank posted:The Canucks have hired Newell Brown (former assistant coach) and Nolan Baumgartner (former player) as bench assistant coaches. They have also hired Doug Jarvis (former assistant coach) and Manny Malhotra (former player) to be non-bench assistant coaches. Dan Cloutier (former player) is the goalie coach. Moreover, at least when the Oilers did it they hired people who were, y'know, GOOD players (Doug Jarvis being the exception, he was a solid player). Like, good players don't equal good execs or coaches, but I at least understand where that logic comes from. Who, aside from Jim Benning, thinks Nolan Baumgartner is gonna teach anybody anything? And my god, did Dan Cloutier suck. '03-04 was his only genuinely decent year, every other year where he started he was being buoyed by a good Canucks team.

To be fair to Baumgartner, while it is still nepotism, he's been an assistant coach for the Chicago Wolves (and then Utica when the Canucks changed affiliates) since 2012.

https://twitter.com/NicholsOnHockey/status/872561069440380928 I would love if the Oilers could get Hamonic for Eberle. Then our D when healthy would be: Klefbom - Larsson Sekera - Hamonic Nurse - Benning

Good deal for Toffoli and the Kings. He gets to have another contract at age 28 in his prime. Kings can trade this contract if the team goes completely to poo poo, low enough hit that it doesn't hurt the team if they turn it around a bit.

Kilza posted:https://twitter.com/NicholsOnHockey/status/872561069440380928 The isles pretty much have to trade someone before the expansion draft, probably either hamonic or de Haan. They got screwed by having to protect Ryan pulock but everyone who reports on the team says they'd protect pulock over de Haan. They could move Ryan strome or brock Nelson too but one of the d men are more likely. I'd rather do it for a guy like duchene but if it has to be Eberle at least he's had some chemistry with Tavares in the past

Was this posted yet? http://twitter.com/IgorEronko/status/872460544212701184 Idea being Radulov wanted to complete his divorce so his then-future-ex-wife (and now ex-wife) wouldn't be able to lay a claim to his future contract.

Brian Flynn isn't a bad resigning, since it will be somewhat cheap. Likewise, I'm not mad at the Martinsen resigning. I'm gonna be mad at the inevitable trades and when Bergevin drafts another Juulsen type with the first rounder, or when he drives Galchenyuk and Beaulieu to arbitration and then lets them walk.

Maybe they need to draft an even bigger and slower player than McCarron, who will wait even longer before playing in the league, something like 26 years old

Cheap or no, it's still one of the 50 contracts Montreal will have to carry this year, which will keep us from signing actual skilled pl- ahahaha, I couldn't finish it.

IIRC one of the answers to character questions about Rads last summer was "He's got a wife now! He's a family man!" So maybe we're in for a wilding now.

It's emblematic of horrible organizational philosophy and clutters up the developmental pipeline. Look at all the contributions Nashville and Pittsburgh are getting from home grown guys. It's a salary capped league and you better try to find some cheap talent for your bottom rosters rather than wasting it on average level replacement level guys.

quote:http://news.nationalpost.com/sports/nhl/well-just-leave-brian-burkes-blunt-words-on-calgary-arena-situation-disavowed-by-flames A professional sports franchise in [what is here] a major sport begging/extorting for tax dollars is idiotic.

The thing is, that's starting to fall apart. Look at San Diego and Atlanta. One moved because the locals told him to gently caress off (and thus losing all their fans in the process), and Atlanta has people pissed off because they bypassed the residents.
