[Artorius Horus T]

Love them, I wish NHL players were cockier/had more fun and tried things like this in games.

 

[Machinehead]

Who names their kid Cross?

Who names their kid Cross?

the WHL is infamous for it's... unconventional.. names

 

[General Fanager]

Love it, more creativity please!!!

 

[ijuka]

Overall yeah, although I kind of soured on them with all the hype Granlund's received for whatever reason. Still, cool goals and an interesting option that I wish players made use of more frequently.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

I'll enjoy being the minority here... keep that gimmick out of the NHL.

There is a sport already designed for that play.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

How can you not like that?

 

[robbieberns]

Svechnikov tried it a few times last year, curious to see if that’s something he’ll go back to this year.

 

[A4T1L6]

Great Move

 

[BrindamoursNose]

Big fan.

Games are meant to evolve.

 

[Stephen]

Hurrr durrrr. Keep the puck, and skill level in the game low.

 

[LuckyBoeser]

Yes. It would create tons of excitement seeing a player pull that off unexpectedly during live games. I'm all for excitement.

 

[7even]

It's hard to pull off and also a great chance to absolute deck the guy trying it. I can't see it being too successful in the NHL where defensemen are so aggressive.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

no problem with a player trying it, but they deserve to be clowned if they attempt it and fail during a game.

 

[Kocur Dill]

If you can pull it off, why not?

On the other hand, I came in here because I thought the topic was going to be a recommendation for Hockey using Lacrosse size goals as the width is exactly 72" but Lax uses a taller height.

Now that would be an interesting development. Especially concerning the Butterfly technique. Goalies might have to go back to a hybrid stand-up discipline. But I digress. OT.

[Howboutthempanthers]

For me, it's one of those things that's great the first time. But after that, meh.

 

[tony d]

I like them. They're neat to watch.

NHL players are better at defending that type of shit too, all you need to do is hit their stick.


But, of course I like them.

 

[pown]

Who names their kid Cross?

The same type of people who wear sons of anarchy clothing

 

[Machinehead]

Seems accurate

 

[CanadienShark]

I love them.

 

[JarvisFunk]

If a gimmick works, it isn't a gimmick. And if defenders don't like the play, they should stop it from happening.

 

[spiny norman]

Lopsided result.
