TrueBlueGED Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 If it's the low end of the recovery timetable he could still win the Calder. Plus this is probably better than getting a separated shoulder, since no risk of tissue injury. Sucks, but dodged a bullet in a sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Crotch Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 Watching Leafs - Jets. Tyler Myers looks terrible again. He's a -7 on the year and really struggling in his own zone. But, at least he's not a coke fiend.  ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubkev Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 Can someone figure out what percentage of the net goalies occupied when there was actually scoring in the NHL vs what percentage of the net they occupy now? Take the difference and expand the nets by that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the difference and expand the nets by that much. Â How about looking at how the game was played then and how it's played now and working on that, instead of what ISN'T the problem. Â In the 80s, playmakers made plays. Â Kind of like in 2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 Stats question too. Isn't GAA average a useless stat? Does it take into account how terrible your team is, the amount of shots you face, the quality of shots, or the time spent on the pk? What is the better stat to evaluate goalies?

The other hand would be the penalties never being called. Â The net expansion was more of a general musing on my part.

Goaltending style has also changed a ton and you don't see these guys skating around or standing up like idiots nearly as often now. I think tiny size increases wouldn't hurt but would prefer some other changes first.

LTS Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 The simple solution is to call the penalties that are happening. Â Allowing the interference, etc. is a way to keep the teams closer together in the standings by not allowing the truly talented to move more freely and create goals. Â I don't see anything else required at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it just a slow creep back to the clutch and grab era? Not so much clutch and grab as "stand your ground". Defensemen can interfere with you under the guise of holding their ground. It's why you see forwards without the puck having such a hard time getting around defenders now. The defenders are under no obligation to move, they just can't hit you. They basically set picks now, and it slows the game down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickie Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 The defenders are under no obligation to move, they just can't hit you. Ah, but they do move. They move into the forecheckers' way. They try to disguise it as turning to chase the puck, but they just happen to swing a little wider than normal and impede the entering forward.

It's a skilled motion that gives the illusion of not interfering when in fact it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
