It is, however, Kadri's job to not run the goalie*. Also, Kadri's the one who knocked Rosen into Binnington, not the other way around.

It’s actually Kadri’s job to score goals and there is a very clearly loose puck.

Are you saying that playing hockey at all, simply because Lucic is on the ice when you are up 4-0, is by definition "putting yourself in a bad situation"? That's kind of hosed.

What kind of play for a puck behind the net do you think is safe for a goalie to perform when Lucic is on the ice?

i'm saying that if my team was up 4-0 in a playoff game where:

--we've embarrassed our main historical rival on our home ice
--there's like 8-10 minutes to go in the game
--the rival has a massive dumb hyper-sensitive whiny/pissbaby ogre who has literally intentionally destroyed an enemy goalie and not gotten suspended for it
--the league I'm playing in has a vested interest in propagating a certain level of violence due to history, marketability, ~National Character And Mythmaking~, etc.
--people get paid millions of dollars and have their entire legacies tied up in playoff success
--the financial success/growth of the billionaire owners' assets is partially tied up in playoff success
--and as such they make discipline decisions and literally write the rulebook (see post on boarding) to include massive allowances for refs/DOPS' opinion
--my goalie is like 40

...I would 1000% prefer my goalie not play that puck and CERTAINLY not try to make a play with it and CERTAINLY CERTAINLY not do that while Lucic is on the ice, forechecking.

To explicitly answer your question, given the preconditions above, I don't want my goalie playing any pucks behind the net when Lucic is on the ice except when he's going off for a change or 200 feet away.


I'm not saying it shouldn't be a penalty. As I said, 5 + the game is the correct call. But Lucic has enough of a low cunning like an orc or something that he knows how to really clock the goalie and not make it too obvious/suspendable. Smith isn't at the same level of fault as Girard. As others have posted, it's almost always a penalty to nail the goalie outside of the crease. But this is the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs. Smith has gotta know that guys like Lucic are around for a reason, and he's gotta protect himself better there. I would be so upset AT Igor if Igor got nailed like that. Of course I would want the other guy to be jumped and Bertuzzi'ed. But a player needs to know how to stay on the ice.

If a player is gonna get into it with a coach too then they’re fair game IMO

I mean, from an entertainment perspective, sure, it's great and gently caress Tony. But Tony has no recourse against Gallant he can take. It's against the Code. Unless someone has to take the fight like in baseball when you hit a guy and someone on your team has to get hit back because pitchers don't really hit anymore. That would be a funny development for hockey to take, but I kinda prefer our historical thing, which is coaches having hallway/locker room/bench shoving matches like Torts in Vancouver or Patrick Roy/Bruce Boudreau or Lindy Ruff/Bryan Murray or Torts/DeBoer.

in other words, acceptable/Code-approved fighting venues by organizational role should be:

player: on ice
coach: in hallway or on bench
GM: in barn

Scoreboard Watching

For when you miss a game, or part of a game, and you want to catch up on the results, but want a little more suspense than just checking the score would provide. It loads the actual play by play data from the NHL API and replays the game on a virtual scoreboard and ice rink. 100% spoiler free.



Ok thanks.

Neither player touched the puck. Kadri had stick position to get there first but Rosen had body position to block Kadri from getting there. Kadri and Rosen collide, Kadri goes briefly airborne and they both tumble into Binnington.

I don't see how you can see that overheard view and not think Kadri is exonerated.

Kadri's line was going well wide of Binnington until the contact with Rosen. Seems pretty clear Kadri wasn't in control of where he landed and slid after bouncing off Rosen and falling down.

If Kadri went into Binnington like this "unassisted", then yeah, throw him out of the league. But it doesn't even look questionable that it was an accident.

It looks like incidental contact to me.
Unfortunate and unlucky incidental contact that resulted in an injury, but I don't see any intent by Kadri to hit Binnington.

You can see Kadri try to stop, but his left skate caught an edge (at 0:35) and he toppled forward, and toward Binnington when he was hit by Rosen. If you want to give him 2 for interference, whatever, but I don't think that even comes close to the suspension threshold, despite his previous record.

Ugh I can't believe I'm going to bat for Kadri.

To me the story of these past couple of games has been Colorado declining physical play, and I think this incident is a pretty good example of it. If Kadri had made the aggressive, physical play he probably would have casually buried the absolute muffin of a rebound Binnington left, and there would be nothing else to talk about.

The play started when Landeskog got the puck near the Blues bench and fired it across to Lehkonen. Rosen stepped up to play Landeskog, but then realized he hosed up massively and hustled back to the net. Now Kadri had the inside line and should have driven hard to the net, but instead he dropped into the hole for no particular reason, and then didn't really even make a strong play for the puck when it was just sitting there in front of an open net.

I’m right there with you including the feeling at the end. I thought it was 2 for GI on the day, and none of the back and forth has really changed that for me. This is the lesser of the 2 incidents in that first 10 minutes that needs the attention. Kadri’s stick is half an inch from getting the puck even. It’s just an easy target because it’s Kadri.

There’s a reason they print stop signs on the back of youth sweaters. It’s not a better idea just because you’re older to back poor hits from behind. That sort of thing straight up cripples people and there’s no reason to not demand proper hits from the person making it like every other sport. He’s leaning the whole way in, you can just let up a little and make the hit without smashing his face into the board.

Skaters aren't supposed to plow into goalies. There's no relevant mitigating circumstance; Rosen isn't pushing Kadri into the net.

Henrik Zetterberg posted:

... what? Kadri's left skate is pointed nearly straight ahead. He's not trying to stop. He wasn't hit by Rosen either, he just skated straight into him.

th3t00t posted:

I don't see how you can see that overheard view and not think Kadri is exonerated.

Because Kadri didn't try to stop at all, whereas Rosen did. Rosen has his left skate edge nearly perpendicular to his motion, because he's trying to stop and avoid hitting his own goalie. Kadri's left skate is basically parallel to his own path. The onus is on skaters to avoid contact with goalies while they're in their crease (which Binnington was by the time Kadri got there).

Sure, I don't think there's intent to elbow Binnington in the head or anything, but there's certainly somewhere between recklessness and carelessness.

That's because he was playing more attention to running the goalie while making it look plausibly like an accident than he was to playing the puck.

It's the same thing as all the people who swore Matt Cooke slicing Erik Karlsson's Achilles was an accident. If Ian Cole banks the puck off the end boards back onto his own stick at the goal line then snaps it off the goalie's back and into the net, you can reasonably assume it was an accident. If Sidney Crosby does it, it was probably intentional. Guys like Kadri, and Tom Wilson, and Matt Cooke, et. al., are world class shitheads who have spent their lives honing their craft, which is injuring people and making it look like a total accident golly gee. They are extremely good at it.

Yeah those guys get suspended regularly but in truth it's only for one-tenth of the poo poo they get away with.

I'm kind of sympathetic toward Kadri because he has gotten more scrutiny from the DOPS than other shitheads and hmmmmm I wonder why?? but he is still a shithead who lives to injure people.
