Would you be okay with your team doing something against the rules?

[naruto]

Would you be alright with your team if they did something illegal to win the cup?

Like for example in the NFL the Patriots (I think it was them) deflated footballs or something which is illegal (I'm not a football fan so correct me if I'm wrong). Would you be okay with the hockey equivalent of something like that in order to win the cup? And assume you don't get punished like get the cup taken away from you or anything severe like that. Would you be okay with it?

Btw, Nothing illegal like doing drugs or doping or something like that.

Illegal but nothing illegal

Tough call

In seriousness no I wouldn't be okay with it.

y'know what I meant. I mean doping is kind of going a bit far. I mean something "normal illegal", something you could potentially get away with bc it's not worth it for the League to strip you of the cup. Doping would get you stripped for sure imo...

They didn't cheat.

Itching powder in the other team's jock straps, perhaps?

do something to your net? do something to your sticks? idk something like that. An example isn't really necessary. I wanted to know if ppl would be okay with cheating.

now that i could get onboard with.

 

[Anglesmith]

Swapping in slightly smaller pucks for offensive zone faceoffs and slightly larger pucks for defensive zone faceoffs?

Would be hard to pull of something like that. Plus I don't think the NHL would have any problem stripping a Cup if something like that was discovered.

There is a reason we have refs.

A lot of people would be willing to bend the rules but there are limits for sure. Would someone be ok with shooting down an aircraft carrying the opposite team? Hopefully not.

If you ain’t cheatin’ you ain’t competin’

...just don’t get caught as much as the Patriots.

i guess with further thought, the clock operator at staples already cheated to get the kings a win which led to them getting a cup so yes, i'm ok with this.

Depends. Are we doing it quietly?

 

[Muston Atthews]

If you ain’t cheating you ain’t trying.
It ain’t cheating if you don’t get caught.

As long as we don’t get punished for it I couldn’t care less

 

[slocal]

I still consider Clowe's play from the bench to be one of the best things I've ever seen.

I would be okay with cheating. If you win by cheating, your still a winner. If your smart enough to figure out a way to cheat, you deserve the advantage. But ya maybe draw the line at hurting others and don't do anything malicious like go headhunting or something.

If people are too stupid to figure out, all for it lol

Something like team issued illegal sticks? Maybe.

Or grand theft auto? Also maybe.

 

[Filatov2Kovalev2Bonk]

Well there is "cheating" like United are smart and resourceful enough to have Paul Pogba.
Then there is "cheating" like McSorley with is illegal curve.
And there is "cheating" like the Leafs got Matthews.

If it's not forbidden expressly by rules, it's allowable, period.

 

[lwvs84]

Technically every Cup champ does something against the rules. A penalty is for doing something you're not supposed to and I don't think any team has won the Cup without taking a single penalty

 

[Fandlauer]

If you're not cheating, you're not trying and it's only cheating if you get caught. If we won the cup I couldn't care less.

I'm curious to know how the Leafs cheated.
