There is, the refs just misapplied it.Just blows my mind there isn’t a black and white rule and/or move the camera to the back of the penalty box so there is no issue at all.

Puck hit a camera that was behind the glass, refs didn't call delay of game, would have resulted in 6 on 3 for Russia with goalie pulled.So what happened? I keep seeing a picture of a camera on Instagram
All I know is Canada looked off. CMM was moved up in the lineup and they won it all. Ready to see him in Hershey and pushing caps players for ice time.
Hot take: CMM won't play for Hershey next year.
I think the only thing stopping him from full time NHL will be his ability to be sent down without waivers.
He can't play for Hershey. Either back to juniors or Caps.
I meant next season. But then again I have no idea what his eligibility rules are for next season......He turns 19 in a few days.
I agree with this. Its gonna be interesting.. he will likely be at the point where he isn't getting anything out of junior next season.. but at the same time, I think it wouldnt be the right move to force the NHL on him under limited minutes... dumb rule that he cant go to AHL.
It really is. I wonder what the point/origin of that is.I agree with this.

I mean, ok. But if a kid is eligible to go pro why control a league. Maybe say no pro players younger than 18 or whatever and leave it at that.to help keep the Canadian Jr system afloat?
Im happy where wilson is now, but still don’t think the right path was given to him and it delayed his development.. and I think the current regime thinks that as well. But wilson is a different beast. Without looking at any stats (and I may be wrong), AHL for a season or so just let feels like it is usually a more successful route.young players get limited minutes....rarely damages anyone permanently. See Tom Wilson.

To keep 99% of players from UFA longerIt really is. I wonder what the point/origin of that is.

It’s going to depend on his body.....can he physically be NHL-ready in 10 months? Strength and skating....

hah...agree to disagree. He broke out at 23 after already being a game changer in the physicality dept since age 18. Wilson dangling players in Jrs and fighting off every pretender who wanted to fight an NHL 1st rounder for another year or 2 wouldn’t have served anyone IMO.
It'll also depend on if there's a spot for him. Maybe they don't bring Leipsic back and bump Hags down to the 4th line but that 4th line is team's best line right now. Maybe they have some extra coin with the cap going up and Holtby likely departing and they bring in a higher priced free agent to add some scoring to the third line. Maybe the boys win the whole damn thing and everyone comes back next year and then there's not a clear spot for him.
Ya. I did put the caveat that wilson was a different beast. Still though.. he was only dominating junior for 1 season. Still think he had some offensive instincts he could have focused on there for 1 more season to help get more confidence in the nhl. And taking 6 nhl seasons for 16 OA pick to get 20 goals 40 pts is a bit delayed.
That said... I’m a big fan of him now and he’s different because of his physicality where he probably would have killed someone in junior... every prospect is different.. but I typically tend to want to take time with them
