GDT: Preds @ Jets • Tue Mar 8, 7PM [No tank talk in GDT please]

5on5 play doesn't translate into PP. The pk team plays completely differently.

Of course, but I mean, it's still hockey. If you can be effective at 5v5 it stands to reason you should be at an advantage with a man ...advantage

 

[Ducky10]

That will satisfy the NHL powers that be.

Job well done refs.

 

[robertocarlos]

The old 4 guys in the corner PK play.

 

[Daximus]

That goal is on Buff why the hell are you going down low when two players are already on him leaving two guys alone out front...

 

[Derfel*]

Ergh.

 

[rehf]

Pavelec having a good night tonight but man he is brutal at tracking the puck sometimes

 

[AlphaLackey]

MAYBE boarding. But interference is when a player is hit without making contact with the puck or making it so they can't get the puck. He passed it away milliseconds before the hit.

Not interference. Not even close.

When I saw the ref's arm go up, I thought it might be roughing, which would have been ludicrous enough. Body checking is legal, right?

Interference. Crazy. Just have a GameMaster roll a d20 on a penalty chart 5 times period for each team, it'd at least be more transparent.

 

[Duke749]

The Kosmo hit was also a penalty.

That wasn't called though...

 

[DharmaBum]

Ah yes the old hockey adage that BS penalties will result in a PP goal

 

[AlphaLackey]

Of course, but I mean, it's still hockey. If you can be effective at 5v5 it stands to reason you should be at an advantage with a man ...advantage

The other team can freely ice shorthanded where they can't in 5v5. Is it possible that this is the hangup? Like they just don't know how to compensate for this?

Good teams can kill penalties to be fair though.

Lotta people with that running through their heads.

Not interference. Not even close.

Never mind he was about 6 feet from the boards though.....details.

Oh good, conspiracy theorists!

I agree. It's not interference and I would tell players to not have their body in such a vulnerable position. It's not pee-wee hockey and when it gets rough **** happens.
Call it an NFL penalty for a hit on a vulnerable player.

 

[heilongjetsfan]

What does the rule book say in terms of how hard you can hit? Do guys have to start letting up on body checks? Or just stop working out so they aren't so strong?

That would be sweet. Maybe I could still make the bigs!

 

[Duke749]

Good teams can kill penalties to be fair though.

True. But how many times this year have we given up a PP goal on THE bad call in a game but all the good calls we killed off? Like, how the hell does that keep happening?

 

[robertocarlos]

Never mind he was about 6 feet from the boards though.....details.

If he flew 8 feet and broke his neck would that be OK?

 

[meedle]

Pretty sure the ref was blocked out by pavs and didn't know Forsberg had the puck is my guess. Only way he blows that call so bad.

 

[Daximus]

even up call.

 

[Ducky10]

Since when were we a good team? Especially killing penalties.

 

[heilongjetsfan]

By they, you mean Pascal Vincent? I'd bet good money you're right.

Oh great pp coming. Now we're screwed for sure.

 

[surixon]

There is the weak make up call

 

[rehf]

True. But how many times this year have we given up a PP goal on THE bad call in a game but all the good calls we killed off? Like, how the hell does that keep happening?

I think we just notice those ones more if the penalty was BS.

Probably more equal than it seems? I dont know.

 

[Duke749]

Pity call.
