It is a bit suspicious that pretty much every bad thing that's happened to the league in the past 20 years can be traced to one of two people: Gary Bettman and Martin Brodeur.

Also I think another reason the NHL banned them was because it obscured their faces for marketing reasons and made exceptions for cages for players who sustained a face injury and balaclavas for outdoor games.

ThinkTank posted:While there are some awful GMs out there that I'm baffled as to how they remain employed, the attitude of "even though I've only seen the stuff that makes the news, have zero connection to the reality of the situation and like to feel smarter than people who do this for a living I could totally do better" leads to Trump tweeting his way to the Presidency. I unironically think 99% of SAS could do a better job of being President than Donald Trump, and I include our Canadian posters in that who have no idea how our government actually functions.

That's fine with me. Just make them think twice about challenging and it has to cut those stupid stoppages in half at least.

weren't GMs like all "no we like it's working as intended" when they met about the rules and that very suggestion? I think it'll cut down on the "his skate blade was possibly vaguely off the ice a nanosecond before the puck was in the zone" calls which were the annoying ones but obvious missed calls can be easily reversed. Wonder if the refs complained about it

The freakishly close calls were annoying, but I've seen a fair share where it was blatantly obvious the play was onside. They can be used as an extra timeout, really.

shyduck posted:https://twitter.com/theScoreNHL/status/905548220108906496 It's a lovely idea. Losing your timeout is enough. You're already gambling that the NHL won't gently caress up the replay call, now a penalty will just make teams not do it, which is what they want but they are afraid to eliminate the challenge entirely. If they were worried about calls being "too close" then have the blue line extend up like the end zone.

I still don't see what was wrong with the old system: the NHL monitored goals, Toronto called if it was questionable. Challenges were abused from day one, they were noticeably affecting the game all season, and of course it just became more obvious in the playoffs.

Offside challenge, looks onside to everyone. Refs say it isn't and award a penalty, that penalty leads to cup winning goal. I like it. Seriously, tho, if I was a ref I'd hate this. There's already enough pressure in them to not gently caress up. This just adds another layer of poo poo they can and will gently caress up. As a fan I'm fine with it. Those skate hovering 1cm above the blue line let's review for 25 min calls are brutal. Plus more panties is good (even if they're dumb penalties).

The whole point of replay is to get more calls right and if you are going to disincentivize that, don't loving bother having it at all hifi posted:what other stuff gets challenged anyways? goalie interference i guess No one actually knows what is or isn't goalie interference, though. The only thing worse is the NFL catch rules.

If TNSE is still willing to can Maurice after a lovely start then it's a defensible move. The problem is that they can't come out and say that so it appears that the unsuccessful head coach got a payday for no good reason. My twitter feed hasn't been this angry since the season ended.

Where is this epidemic of the action grinding to a halt because of frivolous, spiteful challenges to goals? There are already limits on how much you can challenge and a negative outcome if you are wrong. Maybe have a hard countdown on the review and if they can't decide by then, call stands. They are mad that HD cameras can now point out guys being an inch offside and this is their way of making it so no one ever challenges a goal anymore unless a guy is like 3 strides over the line.

Sorry but the "shoot for the moon" offsides call after an opponents scores a goal, or the Sullivan, is extremely annoying and losing a timeout wasn't enough of a deterrent.

If TNSE is still willing to can Maurice after a lovely start then it's a defensible move. It makes perfect sense with the leaks that Chevy signed months ago and Maurice's terms are unknown. I'd expect Maurice is just a one year extension to ensure he's not a 'lame duck' and Chevy was never going to get fired/be at any risk for his job for at least another season. The draft and develop strategy when the Jets came back was not only Chevy it was the Chevy/Chipman plan, Chipman isn't going to fire Chevy the season before it's all supposed to come together. I expect Maurice's leash to be incredibly short this season, Chevy has to know that if he hitches his wagon to Maurice he probably won't get another chance at picking who the next coach is if Maurice stumbles and Chevy backs him all year.

Levitate posted:lol at people getting worked up over the offside rule I just wish it was more of a judgement call. If an offsides happens and then a goal happens a minute later who gives a gently caress, y'know? They should just disallow goals that are caused as a direct immediate (or near immediate) result of the offsides.
