GDT: [#52] Dallas Stars @ New York Rangers, 6:00 PM CST (FSSW+, ESPN+)

Seeing that Johns postgame interview sort of makes me think someone is cutting onions around here. Strange thing to do that at 4:00 AM in my living room.

A nice trip so far. C’mon Stars get all 6 points.

Is that for real?!

He did spend alot of time on the Islanders.

can someone explain to me why it's such a no no to have the slightly late shot? i mean, i'd get it if someone ripped off a 100mph slap shot, but a little wrister? is that really worth going bonkers over? seems to be universal, but why? is it really injury concern, or just established, unwritten rule?

Probably has something to do with who took the shot. If Perry took that shot the Rangers would have the same reaction

It’s mostly out of respect for the goalie . If it’s really close , no one usually makes a big deal though . I don’t think benn grabbing Lemieux was all that necessary last night . It’s harder than it looks to stop yourself from shooting in half a second when you already made up your mind .

I remember Kari getting injured one time on a late shot.

Shooting after the whistle is just viewed as a guy being childish, so players freak out when it happens.

Probably didn’t help that Lemieux took the obvious penalty AND the shot both either.

That is true, and why risk what is an intentional injury (should it happen) in a injury filled profession. You just don't disrespect other guys trying to make the same living you are. You could see Dobby letting up just a little when the whistle blow, or it probably wouldn't have gone in.
