GDT: Game 68: Detroit Red Wings @ Tampa Bay Lightning | 3/9/2019 | 7:00PM ET | FSD

[Shaman464]

Because this isn't a woman's league and hitting is allowed

There are women's leagues that allow more than the NHL these days.

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

I wonder when the roughing penalty just became 2 minutes for fighting with your gloves on.

 

[RedMenace]

Well I've never wanted to be Trevor Thompson more than just now.

Can't leave Stamkos alone in the slot. Jesus, what a shot.

 

[DetroitRed]

Nothing like leaving Stamkos all alone in front of the net

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

Goddamn. That release.

 

[datsyukfan]

Too many guys that just can’t handle or pass a hockey puck

 

[Shaman464]

That was just a matter of time. Bernier was standing on his head.

 

[SoupGuru]

Yep.

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

Blash is embarrassing.

 

[RedMenace]

NEED MOAR FRAMES

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

WHAT

 

[Shaman464]

Blash is embarrassing.

He was right this time though.

 

[TheMule93]

Hahaha Stamkos

I thought it went offsides glad that got challenged

 

[Hen Kolland]

Blash is embarrassing.

It is tough being right

 

[RedMenace]

He was right this time though.

Flipping that Aquafina bottle like he was confident...

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

It is tough being right

I still don't see it.

And even then, I'm still a little embarrassed that Blash does this stuff blindly.

 

[Sadekuuro]

I hate this rule even though it's working to our benefit here. I thought it was offside in real time, but if the linesman thought it was in, it was in.

 

[RedMenace]

I can only hope Applefritter gets taken in the expansion draft; Ehn can take his spot no problem.

 

[Shaman464]

Flipping that Aquafina bottle like he was confident...

He earned a bottle flip!

 

[Hen Kolland]

I still don't see it.

And even then, I'm still a little embarrassed that Blash does this stuff blindly.

Embarrassed by Blashill knowing the rules and trying to use them to his advantage? For a guy who’s out there to try to lead his team to win, it’s something that I would like to see if I was his boss.

Getting 1 right for every 10 he gets wrong is what makes it embarrassing. Do it when you know you're right, not just in case you might accidentally be right.

 

[RedMenace]

FEEL THE BERN...ier...

Honestly, I like his movement in the crease MUCH better than Howard's; he just seems to be so much more in control.

 

[Goalie guy]

And again hang the goalie out to dry.

His success rate is about 33% according to the FSN guys. A 1 in 3 chance of changing score by a point. I don't know the stats, but, timeouts don't seem to yield nearly as good returns.

That's what makes the rule so weird. Timeouts aren't nearly as valuable as potentially preventing a goal. IMO, if you're wrong, it should be a minor penalty. That balances out the risk/reward better. You do it when you know you're right, not just in case you're right.

Keep getting upset over spilt milk. As a coach if you interpret the rule to mean that a certain play should be called off, you challenge it. Zero f***ing questions asked.

Blashill can’t challenge because there’s a chance he’s wrong, yet the refs are making these calls at an extremely high rate of speed and are often wrong multiple times a night. Makes sense

 

[DetroitRed]

Bernier got some style points on that one
