I'd prefer the NHL slightly overhyped Bedard and made his games an event, as opposed to McDavid's rookie year which they gave all the excitement of a shameful family secret. It's maybe a bit much to have a Bedard watch blog, but cmon at least they're recognizing he exists and is something special. He's a cool player that does exciting stuff in a flashy way. The NBA isn't being quiet about Wembanyama, why should the NHL be any different about Bedard?

When I played hockey neck guards were mandatory for everyone.. I started out as a goalie and goaltenders actually have heavier duty versions of them that I continued to wear even after I started playing defense because I was terrified of taking a skate to the throat.. the player ones are just these little neck bands that look like there's hardly anything to them, the goalie ones actually look like protective equipment and cover much more of your neck and upper chest area.

It was like that all the way up to the league for 15-17 year old kids, I'm not sure when you can choose to stop wearing one.

Too bad for Adam Johnson and his family and everyone who had to witness that. Horrible.

Do the goalie ones actually do anything? They just look like a piece of cheap, swingy plastic that a puck would go right through

Starsfan posted:

oh no you're talking about that plastic shield thing that people attach to their helmets if they are rocking the Dominik Hasek look... i did have one of those lol. Yeah like the helmets themselves those things work cause they are curved and the puck will deflect off of them, although if that happens it usually ends up pushing the plastic shield thing back up into your face. I didn't continue to wear that when I graduated to playing on the blueline...

the neck guard is something else that you wear underneath your uniform, it basically covers all the area around your neck that isn't covered by the chest protector or the helmet

here we go, a handy 4 minute long youtube video showing both of them off https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=QX_6yudowQw

Now that I get a good look at the dangler, its a bit thicker than I've always assumed, so that's good.

Ottawa gets to choose which pick to forfeit, so it could be worse. If Dorian groped someone in the process, maybe there would be no punishment

But this story is weird. Vegas was mad about this rightfully, but the NHL didn't do much at the time until this story pops back up with a vengeance a week ago. What changed?

All jokes aside, the Blackhawks should have an obligation to disclose what behavior got him shitcanned. Another team might want to take a chance on him, and there's a big difference between him having a consensual relationship with another player's mom (funny, not illegal) and him dropping slurs and hate crimes or whatever else it could have been.

The NHL won't disclose what Pinto did or how Dorrion botched the Dadanov trade. Lol at any sort of accountability

Is there any rule about how long a goalie has to hold onto the puck for the refs to blow off a freeze/stoppage?

There was no whistle so fair play to Habs, but goalie held onto the puck for a while and refs pretty much always blow after a second or two

So that's the play NCN posted about up at the top of this page. Yeah there were no Lightning guys in the vicinity so the ref must have yelled at the goalie to play the puck, but Tampa's guys were already skating off and didn't hear it or pay attention. Still--the play isn't over unless you hear the whistle!

Unusual not to just blow the whistle in that particular situation though. Maybe the refs were pissed off at Cooper for some reason I dunno.

e: 8 minutes left in the period so I assume they had just resumed after the TV ad stoppage. Probably why the ref was slower with the whistle and wanted to just play on.

I ways figured the goalies had a right to freeze if they wanted to. Didn't know the refs could wave it off

Huh

From what I've read the crux of the matter was Cutter wanted to play for the Flyers this year but Briere wanted to let him cook a little longer and it all fell apart to the point where Cutter was leaving the Flyers' messages on read.

The probably false rumor I heard is that Cutter soured on the Flyers because Kevin Hayes said mean things about the org
