If the Leafs are winning you need to not watch the game and say that they won because you didn't watch. If it's tied, you can turn it on. If the Leafs give up a goal, blame yourself, turn the game off and apologize for jinxing it. If the Leafs score take credit for it. Perfect, thanks

Yeah but radio host pointed out that this is now the 10th loving time they've blown a 2-0 lead and the 16th time they've blown a 2 goal differential this season. That can probably partially be written off as "lol rookies" but it's still a lovely thing to do often Game would have been different if leafs had executed better in the late second and third. Matthews had a ping and there were 3 or 4 other missed chances where Holtby was out of position and the Leafs player just whiffed or whatever

Also as a ref I can't loving stand "playoff rules" officiating standards. If the refs called he same game they did in reg season you'd arguably have even smoother flow of play than by easing off because guys would know they can't get away with garbage crosschecks and guys like Matt "I'm a stupid rear end in a top hat" Martin would help hand out water bottles. Yes I'm mad about sports

xzzy posted:I would argue that all that tells you is other countries are catching up in skill, not that Canada is getting worse. That's exactly what it is - our program hadn't really changed in 20 years and became complacent. There's a whole bunch of changes coming over the next several years to try to catch back up to what Europe in particular has been doing. Their program is noticeably better for young kids which keeps more people playing the sport and helps increase the pool of athletes. The association my kids are in has seen numbers decline about 5% a year for the past 4 or 5 years because younger families get fed up with cost or excessive commitment or whatever else

Zodijackylite posted:I'm still puzzled by the calls on this play. So, I initially had the same thought but here is probably why: Ott hit was hard but probably legal. Looks like shoulder contact even though Zuch goes flying Thus: Zucharello started the scrum by going after Ott for what in the refs opinion was a clean hit, thus nyr are going to be short Benn then shows up I guess and gets two meaning Zuch's increased to a double to keep nyr short Fight in the background gets those guys paired off. It all hinges on whether you think Ott hit is clean or not. If not then he should have started short meaning Zuch gets 2 and he gets 4 and the situation is reversed.

Aphrodite posted:The ref union cares more about time than merit. That's just not true, at least when it really counts, or Kerry Fraser would have done a lot more Cup games. In any case I can't find any fault with the way they've called the game tonight. Everyone pretty much earned every penalty and they set the bar high early so not like people have a case to say they weren't expecting to get called. I mostly like Kadri but that crosschecking penalty was stupid.

The rule broadly is that you can't be actively bleeding and go on the ice. Others after this post explained better about stoppage protocol than I was going to. I mean with that kind of head impact the concussion spotters should have made him go through he protocol but idk if that happened.

He had really great presence in game 2 though oldskool posted:So how long before the NHL moves to mandate full-face visors instead of just the eye protective ones? The sane answer would be "immediately" but the players prefer visors and the league likes having the pretty hockey faces to market If the change was going to happen you'd have to roll it up starting with junior hockey as was done with brain buckets, and grandfather any of the big whiny babies that didn't want to switch. I think it will happen in the next 10 years but not the next 3

Suspicious posted:When your hip check is at knee level, what is it called? It wasn't though Just because you make contact with a knee or whatever as part of an otherwise legal check doesn't make it illegal The fact that it was called a trip, which is an obstruction foul, rather than kneeing or some other safety foul, tells me the ref twitched when he saw ovi go down and then had to assess something vaguely related to what happened to save face Kilza posted:I agree, the refs got it wrong. It should've been a 5 minute clipping major.

The series has become a bit more acrimonious because: Ovi got flipped over, showed some tenderness in his knee, and Washington fans are mad Tor got a penalty for said flipping and while it looked like it hurt it arguably shouldn't have been a penalty under the current rules Kadri got a two hander in the back of the knee and Toronto fans are mad Ovi was charging everyone like a goober after he got back from getting his knee checked out Etc etc

glynnenstein posted:The knee determines everything. No, the phrase you quoted is specifically about what the active player does - may not lower body to target. Again, while Ovi's knee took some impact or got hyperextended from thigh impact, Kadri didn't lower his body to target the knee The reason I picked the picture above is it shows the height of his hips at the time of impact. His leg is fully extended and he is hip to hip. The example of clipping in the DPS vid has the active player with both knees very bent and he dips down and no part of his body contacts the target player above the bottom of the pants. They even say in the video about using the pants as the reference to judge whether it's a clip or not. Kalenn Istarion fucked around with this message at 16:19 on Apr 22, 2017 |
