Jets and Hawks played 6 on 6 for 30 seconds.

[libertarian]

Hawks got caught with a to many players on the ice penalty last night and didn't remove the player and the Jets pulled the goalie so for 30 seconds their were 6 jets forwards/D against hawk 6 forward/D and goalie. I've been watching hockey for over 40 years and never seen a team keep 6 players (not including the goalie) on the ice for over 30 seconds. Anyone else ever see this?

That sounds great, does anyone have a clip of the segment by any chance?

 

[Kale Hulls]

If you get caught with 6 on the ice, you might as well leave him out there, they can only call you once for it.

 

[Beantown Beatdown]

Seems like a smart tactic. Can they call multiple too many men penalties? If you’ve already been caught with 6, why not just send out a few more guys to prevent any scoring chance?

 

[Spirit of 67]

That's awesome.

Would love to see a clip.

is that...is that legal?? hahah

I've always wondered why we don't see more teams take penalties in the last 20 seconds to defend the lead. Just don't touch the puck, slash the crosscheck as much as you want

That might lead to an automatic 10 game suspension for leaving the bench, even though it would not be for the purposes of starting a brawl...I'm just speculating but wondering if the same rules would apply.

Obviously they're aware they have too many men on the ice. Not removing the extra man should then result in an unsportsmanlike penalty along with the too many men penalty.

I think if that started to occur regularly, the league would step in and award a penalty shot.

 

[DFC]

It's a weird sort of circumvention of the rules. If other coaches start adopting the tactic (intentionally icing six players, because, hell, you're already getting the penalty) the play should be blown dead without possession and there should be an extra minor assessed to the bench for unsportsmanlike conduct.

I think the ref would just blow the play dead if you were making a mockery of the sport.

To this very day I thought the play is immediately blown dead when the refs realize a team plays or played with too many men. You learn something new every day.

Same.

Similar footage from a game last year. Tim Peel was the ref and he totally missed it.

Eh, there's no need for a rule change. In almost any similar situation, the ref can call a new penalty. You send out a 7th guy, the ref can easily call a second too many men or even an unsportsmanlike or whatever. If all you're doing is leaving your 6th out that you already got called for, congrats, you beat the system by gaining a minor, situational advantage, that at best can result in a slightly quicker puck touch followed by killing the same penalty anyway. No big deal.

Yes. Penguins played with 6 players for 45ish seconds during game 3 of their second series agaisnt the Red Wings. Officials were caught on mic telling them to “get off”, rather than call the penalty.

As the Wings were up 2-0 at the time, I genuinely believe the league was scared the Wings would sweep their golden boy, and instructed preferential treatment for that game. If you think that could never happen, please remember the NHL is a for profit business first. It’s naive to think they don’t have preferred winners or an incentive to extend series. Bias aside, it really was one of the most one sided officiated games I’ve ever seen.

 

[Jeti]

The Blackhawks almost went the entire first period without a shot. They were playing so poorly at that time that the 6 guys weren't even noticeable to me. That was probably the worst period of hockey I've ever seen a team play.

McGeough passed away last month.

Refs do that all the time.

You are going to believe whatever nonsense you want to believe.
