Can you be a whipping boy at 22 years old though?

For sure, it’s whipping man starting at age 25

 

[Wabit]

Spurgeon was offsides in OT. He was in the zone before the puck.

If it as a play against MN I'd want it called just like it was.

Lol

He'll only the whipping boy for people that really, really want him to be.

He hasn’t really played very well but I’m not down on him. He’s obviously got a high compete level and great hockey Iq. He will turn it around

This is the same for every whipping boy.

Not if you do it correctly.

You can be in the zone before the puck if you’re in possession of it.

What I don’t like is celebrating a goal/win and then having it overturned because it was 10 milliseconds too early. It’s just such a bad thing to have in the game for a casual fan.

 

[Wabit]

Dumba was, so I guess yes?

Nope.

11 goals, 34 point in 76 games, a +15 and 20 minutes per night?

I must've taken that year off.

I can recall a postgame against the Avs when they won in overtime on a goal that was offsides. Wild fans would have loved that rule had it applied that season.

 

[MNRube]

Rossi will 100% be the whipping boy if he’s up next year. Can already tell he brings out the worst in some fans like Dumba and Vanek before him.

There was space between his stick and the puck. No possession. Space bewteen the stick and puck could be other hockey plays too.

Yeah I remember that game and I understand wanting to get it right, but I think it just needs to be considered part of the game. Something like this happening in a Game 7 OT would be so terrible to experience.

I don’t know, I just really hate overturned goals for non-egregious things. It doesn’t feel like it’s in the spirit of the game.

Only if he's put in a top-6 center role.

If he's in the bottom-6 he won't. He'll not be used correctly, a rookie trying to figure things out, etc.

So many bad plays wasn't enough to make up for those stats. Anything he did wrong was magnified. Suter and Spurgeon were +33 and had more points that year.

Both veteran really good players vs. a 22 year old? Crazy.

Like I said, if one wants it enough, it can be done. Doesn't make it legit.

 

[Spurgeon]

A player actually controlling the puck who shall cross the line ahead of the puck shall not be considered “off-side,” provided he had possession and control of the puck prior to his skates crossing the leading edge of the blue line

A 22yo with over 150 games played and not on an ELC. He also had the "not Burns" working against him.

Boldy has the same things working against him, except he's not on a just a $2.5m bridge deal. He'll be the 3rd highest paid player on the team.

And how smart did those people feel the following year?

 

[NHL1674]

These guys are gonna have to get over this loss in a hurry to be ready for the Jets.

The Jets PP1 looks deadly with Nino.

They probably didn't care. The GM gave us fans the gift of Kyle Quincey in the offseason...

Nobody has to want it really, really badly. In Boldy's case, he'll be a $7m player, if he doesn't play like a $7m player then he should be fair game to be called out.

Or is there an age limit? Jost was 23/24, Steel was 24/25, Greenway 25, Rask was 25+.
