I think there were about 12 good players total in that game last night. Both rosters were dire.

He goes on to say that every other player in Hart discussion plays with elite linemates or on a stacked team, but it’s still insane to me the Oilers can get outscored with him on the ice

The Oilers roster is a tire fire currently. It's basically 4 good forwards + the Bakersfield condors

They said “instead of Toronto” but also the Jays are “fun” in basically the exact same way as the Leafs, the only difference is they need another bad exit or two for people to become jaded

The Jays have won a playoff series in the last decade at least.

being both a Lions and Leafs fan is grounds for being institutionalized. One of my best friends has dual citizenship and grew up in metro Detroit, so he loves the Wings and the Leafs as both count as hometown teams between his family and his friends. he absolutely has refused to care about the Lions his entire life

Aug 16, 2012

Lmao Engvall is pretty clearly following through to hit him there and its in the neck. That's a pretty easy call.

He wasn't trying to kill him but he was absolutely doing that on purpose and that's a suspension or should be every time.

TrueChaos posted:

It absolutely does matter, if the intent with suspensions as punishment is that they're a detterent and a method to clean up the game in order to keep players safe. It doesn't matter where you are on the ice, if you're battling in front of the net or skating through the neutral zone a hit to the head is a hit to the head from the perspective of player safety.

To be clear, the only reason I don't think he should be suspended is because of nearly identical actions that don't even result in penalty calls. In a vacuum 1 game is perfectly fine, but the amount of poo poo they don't call sets the standard.

Can you show evidence of these nearly identical actions?

He absolutely should have got 3 games for trying to cave in someone's face with his stick like that.

I didn't say anything about Guentzel, but no he didn't do anything that deserves a suspension, and you can't go backwards and give him an in game penalty (and like you said he got a penalty during all of that).

Skinner went after him and it ended with Skinner trying to cave Guentzel's face in with his stick. Its clearly a suspension.


As to the two above videos, one is with Chara on the Bruins so what like 4 years ago? The other is during the bubble. Neither is relevant to this season. (both should be suspensions).

Unless I missed something it wasn't Guentzel who slashed Anderson. That was Rakell, and it wasn't that hard. It was the typical slight whack after the whistle that always makes a goalie lose their mind. And none of the Sabres even mugged Rakell that hard over it.

Guentzel wasn't near the net and Skinner and him somehow got tangled up and lead to this incident. I don't even know why those two were going at it. My guess is Guentzel said something. He talks trash all the time so he mighta said something to Skinner to start.

Guentzel pokes at Anderson right after he makes the save. He's on the right of the goalie. It's a play that happens 20 times a game it was nothing.

Count them separate, sure. But when you're talking about lifetime NHL goals scored, we should be counting every goal scored in a game that counted for something in the NHL.

Baseball doesn't count HRs this way. The NFL doesn't count TDs this way. The NBA doesn't count points this way. Playoffs are counted separate. Records are always for regular season and playoffs are a separate stat/record.

What the gently caress was Hronek doing there. I'm not saying he deserved to get hit like that, but he was being really loving stupid.

He was looking over making sure he wasn't about to get his pocket picked and have a breakaway go the other way.

If Reaves was at all talented you can stick check and probably steal the puck and attack the goalie but he's not so bam bam bash.

eXXon posted:

Yeah but it was a really long shoulder check and he just kind of forgot to look back ahead while skating forwards with the puck, which is uhhh not advisable.

When Hronek looks forward initially Reaves looks like he's skating away from the play/possibly towards the bench then u-turns right as Hronek looks to his left. Shouldn't be doing that, but he scanned the ice before he checked over his shoulder and noone was anywhere near him otherwise. Its a weird play where Reaves seems to take himself way out of position but again its Ryan Reaves, and Hronek should be aware that he's gonna get out of position to run guys.
