2018 Around the League III: The OTT players said WHAT?

[Hansen]

What one of our big self proclaimed tough guys should have done to Matheson, or Calvert in the Colorado game

 

[krutovsdonut]

10k fine for lucic

i think that was light.

St Louis is basically the closest we have to a team that is our *****. They're the only team we've swept in a playoff series and we also came back from 3-1 against them.

Fun fact, they made the Stanley Cup Finals in their *first three seasons in the NHL*! They also were swept all three times (combined record of 0-12).

(reality was that in the first expansion from the 'original six' days, all the expansion teams were put in one division where one of them got a guaranteed seed in the Finals - that's why the Blues were able to make it to the Finals. They were the best of a medicore lot)

I love how long Mike Smith's been an NHL starter based on one good season.

 

[Fire Benning]

these offside reviews are so f***ing stupid.

 

[WinterEmpire]

Mike Smith had a handful of good seasons in Arizona, he's a hell of a lot better than Cam Ward who has cruised by entire career on bottom of the league numbers due to one cup

Neither player is as overrated as Lundqvist, who was outplayed by his backups in every season but like two.

i would fire green and hire Q

on the spot, no questions asked, period.

did you learn nothing from our hiring of boston's assistant GM, or the rangers' coach and captain?

Man he's dragged that out eh? Tippet had a way with making goalies look better than they are.... and hockey a lot more boring than it should be. Bryz made of few bucks off of Dave too.

Is Tippet still coaching anywhere? AHL? Assistant? NHL and I've been asleep?

He's been working with the Seattle franchise.

Yep. I understand goaltender interference. You can overturn either call on the ice. It goes both ways. For offside there is no recourse for a play being whistled dead when it shouldn't have been.

 

[Eddy Punch Clock]

these offside reviews are so ****ing stupid.

Hey, they just want to make sure they got things right.

In fact I hear that next season they're going to be doing random stick inspections for every players stick... even the sticks on the bench. Player won't know when it's coming but there will be one surprise inspection per period. Sure games will take 4 hours to complete but think of all the extra advertising dollars.

these offside reviews are so ****ing stupid.

If a goal was scored off a shot on a direct continuation of an offside play in the first 5 seconds after that offside occurred, fair enough.

As soon as that initial play is over, that should be it. Nobody wants goals overturned that happen a minute later after the defending team has had 3 opportunities to clear the puck.

 

[bandwagonesque]

Backups frequently have better numbers than starters due to favourable matchups. Lundqvist has been one of the best goaltenders in the league for years.

 

[Knight53]

Thomas Chabot with 22 points good for 3rd in points in the league.

What a player.

 

[Melvin]

Since this happens basically never, it makes more sense to just never allow such a challenge.

 

[xtra]

Since this happens basically never, it makes more sense to just never allow such a challenge.

Or to put a time limit on how far back you can go on the review. Maybe 25-30 seconds though I agree that not allowing offside review is bette

 

[MS]

Since this happens basically never, it makes more sense to just never allow such a challenge.

It absolutely happens.

The Frk goal in the Detroit game is a perfect example. Took a breakaway pass obviously offside, it was missed, and he scored 3 seconds later.

Since the offside play in this case was fundamental to creating the scoring chance immediately after, no issues.

As soon as that initial movement is done ... that should be it. Either have it set to 5 seconds or have it like a delayed penalty where as soon as the defending team touches the puck the replay window closes.

im kinda on board with this.

I would define it as once the puck has changed possession with any player then the challenge is negated.This does not include rebounds off the offside player

 

[Zippgunn]

If LA were smart they’d ditch Willie ASAP

Terrific idea, watch all the eligible coaches flock to LA after they fire their new coach after TWO games...

 

[sting101]

Thomas Chabot with 22 points good for 3rd in points in the league.

What a player.

hmmmnnn does anyone still want to argue with me that Chabot is far and away the better prospect than Jakub Zboril?

Chabot is an absolute stud

 

[Zombotron]

wut

Tomas Plekanec to be placed on unconditional waivers

I guess I'm okay with it in the case of a breakaway and basically nO other situation

I hate the idea of putting a time limit on this sort of thing.
