wjag Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Can anybody on this board remember our last: 1) Short handed goal scored for and 2) Powerplay goal... This team is so due..

Crestwood Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 To NHL referees: Diving is an either/or situation, not both/and. One or the other; two players should not go to the box. SCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRE!!! VANEK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopeleslyobvious Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 To NHL referees: Diving is an either/or situation, not both/and. One or the other; two players should not go to the box. SCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRE!!! VANEK! Not really. Steven Walkom has made it very clear that he wants both called. It makes sense. If you hook a player, it's a hook if he goes down or stays on his feet. If he embellishes it and goes down it's a dive. The reason for calling both is that is to deter players from diving despite the fact they were hooked, tripped, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmwolf21 Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Really, what does it matter? The refs are going to call the game based on their interpretation of what a hook, trip or dive is, rather than what the league instructs them to call.

Corp000085 Posted March 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 really good period for the sabres. their PP completely perplexes me. they are actually able to move the puck around the zone when they gain it. They're able to pass back to the point... its just a matter of shooting. are they afraid of not hitting the net? causing a 2-on-1 the other way? are they simply afraid to get the rebounds and dig for the possession again? It's a blatent coaching issue here. You tell them to shoot as much as possible and get those rebounds. The team has the skill, they just have to make the adjustments. with that said, its great that teppo was able to fire it on net and vanek was able to screen. that's a confidence building goal that the pointman can take the shot and it can find its way to the net.

As I see it, if a player feels the need to embellish to get the penalty noticed, there probably wasn't much of a case for a penalty in the first place (Hecht's penalty this afternoon, for example).

As I see it, if a player feels the need to embellish to get the penalty noticed, there probably wasn't much of a case for a penalty in the first place (Hecht's penalty this afternoon, for example). There is nothing in the rulebook that says it's an either or penalty. And the director of NHL officiating wants both called...So if the refs just call one or the other in a situation where both are appropriate, then they are calling it how they feel like instead of by the rulebook. Also, it doesn't matter how much of a hook it is, a hook is a hook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
