Don't you dare, that jersey is awesome while Laine's suit just looks like a debit card.

Jhet posted:Honestly, this probably should have gotten an instigator as he's jumping into something he wasn't involved in and starting the fight without the other guy having the option to skate away. Xhekaj did get an instigator whereas Reaves got nothing for the boarding so the system works.

pseudodragon posted:Reaves seems like he'd be a fun dude to have in the role they wanted guys like Simmonds/Clifford for. Dude that plays like once a week or if the team is in a funk and needs some good vibes and then goes back to being a cheerleader the rest of the time. Reaves is going to play 60+ games if the other 4th line options keep sucking/not getting a chance to do anything.

Yeah, most of that looks about right. Brodie's just clinging on to Rielly who at least started off the season well. Knies has been more noticeable than Minten (mostly invisible) and Domi (baaad) but whatever.

I brought an illegal interchangeable lens camera to a Flyers game and they did check but I lied about the lens being detachable and they either didn't notice the button to detach or didn't care. YMMV. The one time I brought a lens that was too big they made me put it into a storage locker before coming back to security.

They really, really care about people bringing in telephoto lenses, in case they take illegal unlicensed photos of the game and then sell them to Russian agents in back alleys, and they're not going to pat you down to check if you're trying to smuggle a 300mm lens in your underwear.Aphrodite posted:The rule exists because it's easier to say no interchangeable lenses than to police specific focal lengths or zoom factors, since what they're really trying to prevent is someone bringing in a lens that can see up Sidney Crosby's nose. No, many arenas do police lenses by size so you have to be careful about that too: quote:Video and Audio recording devices are not permitted in the Wells Fargo Center Wells Fargo is evidently unaware that they've banned any device with a microphone or camera. Scotibank Arena's (Leafs) NHL policy (it can vary by sport/event type too): Non-flash still photography is permitted; however, the lens must not exceed 75mm.

Good Soldier Svejk posted:The NHL has an advanced stat site for this stuff now called "EDGE" where you can compare skater/team speed, e.g. At first glance this seems pretty cool since I've been complaining about the NHL sharing next to nothing from shot/skating tracking. The top skating/shot speed seems a bit useless though, as does average. Bursts are more interesting because what you care about is speed when it matters (contested plays) not whether guys are hammering shots into empty nets or standing motionless behind the net while teammates complete a change. Sorta efb by Koopa.

abuse culture. posted:Every single FA signing he made this summer has been max a 3 out of 10 lol. Dubas was at least good at patching together a team of nobodies who would perform at or above expectations for 0 money Yeah Treliving shouldn't have signed Todd when Tyler was available. In all seriousness, though, yes pretty much every signing he made has had bad or mixed results so far, but they're mostly on one year deals and will not cost assets to dump like some of Dubas' gambles. Reaves is probably the worst for being so long. Anyway, I didn't think they were bad gambles at the time. Klingberg ought to have been cheaper. I was worried about him blocking Timmins but Timmins is out with a ??? injury and Liljegren has struggled so, uh, here we are.

This was a $5,000 fine* and 0 game suspension so I'm excited to see how the league adjudicates crosschecking a guy lying on the ice directly in the neck vs crosschecking a guy in the neck while they're standing and then again in the lower back while they're lying on the ice stunned from the first one. *you know the line.

Koopa Kid posted:One game, but Robertson-Domi-Jarnkrok looked like the most real third line the Leafs have had all season... Leafs had 7-0 chances in 3:45 with that line plus Benoit/Lagesson. I think the D part is a fluke since my notes on Benoit are - tall and shouldn't be in the NHL, and Lagesson - incredibly unremarkable and shouldn't be in the NHL.

Yes at some point there’s going to be a run on black, but another run on red is as likely. I don't think anyone said that regression to the mean will make the Canucks lose the next 10 in a row. Bard Maddox posted:regardless of if the Canucks are actually good or not, they have the opportunity to do a very funny thing this week and completely crush the fanbases of the Oilers, Leafs, and Senators (plus beat the Canadiens but who isn't doing that these days besides the Jets) Not gonna happen, the Leafs are good again (except when they're not).

rex rabidorum vires posted:Point being the original question was 'why are the Canucks good this year vs last year' and that's simple - Last year they started the season with 12% shooting in all situations and had .880 goaltending. They finished the year with 11% shooting and .880 sv%. So far this year they're shooting 15.5% and riding .936 sv%. So based on past performance they're going to finish this season with 14.5% shooting and .936 goaltending, nice.
