Ya, don't be the 'i told you so' guy. Way too premature anyway.
Yeah was mostly joking, that said i haven't forgot some of the outlandish claims regarding the health of the sens that were put forth this past summer.

I can't believe you're arguing about it. What about it Detroit had scored a goal and you would see 6 of them celebrating!!
I'm pretty sure the goal would have counted.
Looks to me like he recognized he wouldn't catch up to break up the play so went to the top of the crease to clear any rebounds. As the 3rd guy back it seems like a better idea than busting his ass to be there too late anyway. Ryan had the best chance at providing back pressure imo, but was too far back (great effort though), Karlsson probably doesn't add anything if skates harder (still probably doesn't get there).
Skating 110 mph isn't always the best defensive choice, even if it does look like your putting more effort in. Had Ryan not been ahead of him, I'd probably want him to try and get in the lane, but at some point he has to let his team mates do what they are in a better position to do.
Were lucky not everybody on the team thinks that way then lol
He plays a lot of minutes and hes our biggest offensive threat but...
If your sooo tired youre gone backcheck like kovalev just take to 3 sec when the puck is in the wings zone (6secondes before that backcheck) and get out of the ice for god sake
Youre putting us at risk by staying on the ice being exhausted
Youll go back on the ice in 30 seconds if we need you for 26 minutes but for now just change
This only happens when the attacking team is the one getting the infraction (otherwise it would be a delayed penalty, obviously). The thing is, the linesman is only going to be focused on that aspect at the time of the line change, so if it's missed at that point it can be a bit before it's picked up (and then usually because the oppositions bench is screaming bloody murder). Truth is, this was about 10 secs with action going end to end. I'm more surprised the sens bench didn't notice than the refs. Teams benches are usually all over potential too many men calls as it's a freebee.
Wow lol
With your logic that the linesman only focus on it at the line change for about 2-3 sec and then forget about it . If he miss it then the play keep going on right?
Would be hilarious if 4 wings had come off the bench at exactly the same time while the linesman is asleep then the play continue 9 on 5
You trying to excuse their mistakes is overboard
And unlike me the refs chose a job in the limelight
Your explanation is godlike nonsense
Or what if they iced the puck on that play? Rules state that they all have to stay on the ice, lol.
It was a mistake that happens, not sure why you're so worked up about it. It had no bearing on the game. You trying to condemn them because of a missed call is overboard. The game is over, move on. I'm sure there are more pressing things to complain about.
Im sorry for debating on an open forum where a guy is arguing with me
Wont happen again I promise daddy
Wow lol

I've never understood this logic. It's the same logic that seems to govern the discipline process. "No one was hurt so what's the big deal?" Classic reaction vs. prevention.
I watched that gif several times when first posted and had no idea about the too many men. I thought it was posted because of how fast Hoffman was skating around
Whatever you want to beiieve. Linesmen have a lot to watch for, and aren't constantly counting jerseys all night long. They pay extra attention at the change when the risk is highest, and it becomes much more difficult to notice after that as they have other priorities to focus on, particularly given the flow of the game at that time.
As already pointed out, this happens more often than you'd like to admit, but the players bench starts screaming and the lineman then does a quick count resulting in a penalty being called. Our bench just didn't notice, which imo is the rarer part of the equation.
The point isn't making an excuss for the mistake, but rather pointing out that people are going overboard about it. The still pic is funny to see, some people didn't even know what they were looking for with the animated gif. The refs screwed up at a critical jucture and nobody in the building seemed to notice for the next 10 secs.
It seems there are two groups here; people who can't fathom why refs would ever make a mistake or miss something, and people who realize sometimes poop happens.
Also, nice strawman on the 9 players comment; if you want to get an idea of what going overboard is, take a look in the mirror.
