You can hand pass in the dzone.It'd be hard to argue he deserves an assist without calling it a hand pass.

Well they did touch it, but they didn't handle it. I maintain that Stamkos was robbed.Not if the recipient picks up the puck in the neutral zone.

Cirelli actually receives the puck in the defensive zone.Not if the recipient picks up the puck in the neutral zone.
But remember, there is no sex in the champagne room. None.You can hand pass in the dzone.
They should be promoting Killer for All-Star Game to bring the high level of hockey already.
Agreed on all points save one, you know as well as I do that a goalies confidence is as important as his stick and a confident LD is an exponentially better than a dear-in-the-headlights LD. You can see it by his body language and movement alone. That was my only point.I wouldn't take it that far. His rebound control is still awful, but he can make saves. I don't see him developing into more than an average back-up. He'll have some solid games, and some great games, like every other average back-up. But he wasn't fundamentally a whole lot better in this one. He gave up fewer weak goals, but still gave up a weak goal, and spit rebounds out like candy.
We're just good enough to overcome that now. In years past, those rebounds would have turned into long stretches in our zone. We get the puck up ice better now.

Clearly we had different expectations of what LD was going to be.Yeah, but you're basically saying, "He's not awful," which is different than saying, "He's good." I think he's more/less adequate. Not nearly as good as we'd hoped he might be, but not nearly as bad as he was on his worst nights.
Prove it!YAY, I CAN LIKE COMMENTS AGAIN!!!. HAPPY DAY!!!
So what's the story here?YAY, I CAN LIKE COMMENTS AGAIN!!!. HAPPY DAY!!!

I figured that one out but was looking for some details.I've been a "bad boy", so the mods had to punish me.
I'd tell you, but I've tried that before and apparently discussing mods is not allowed on here and will earn you an infraction.I figured that one out but was looking for some details.
