Instead of the same old graphic depicting shots, blocked shots etc they could introduce some analytics and graphs with all the fancy stuff on them.

SwampD Posted October 13, 2021 Report Share Posted October 13, 2021 I will say, that if I was in Vegas, shrimmilled up on somethin’ tasty, all Hunter S. Thompson style, I would love the GK’s game presentation. If I lived anywhere else and had to sit through that to watch an NHL game, I think it would be really annoying. That arena announcer is brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PerreaultForever Posted October 13, 2021 Report Share Posted October 13, 2021 Ya, that was a kick imo, but it's a pretty exciting game aside from the refs . High tempo, high effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn’t necessarily directed at you, but I don’t understand why people don’t think Seattle wasn’t supposed to be a good team. They got to draft a team full of decent NHL players. Seattle and Vegas did not come into the league like expansion teams of years past in the major sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His skate had a forward motion, but I don’t know when that becomes a distinct kicking motion. He clearly did more than just turn his skate.

Doohickie Posted October 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2021 What I'd like to see is something like, "Any active motion to direct the puck into the net." If it deflects of a skate, fine, but if the player actively does anything to guide or propel it into the net, no goal. But that ship has sailed I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it deflects of a skate, fine, but if the player actively does anything to guide or propel it into the net, no goal. But that ship has sailed I guess. Would make it much simpler than that. The rule was put in place to make sure guys weren't kicking at the puck creating slicing hazards of other players legs. So, what they were trying to eliminate was the skate blade coming off the ice. So, if the skate blade leaves the ice, no goal. If it stays on the ice, good goal. This would cause the very rare 'guy skating across the ice in front of the crease & the puck totally fortuitously hitting the raised skate & deflecting in' goal to not count. But it makes it real easy to say whether a goal should count or not without worrying about intent. And, if being the NHL, they need to complicate things and add a subparagraph dealing with that skating motion goal situation, so be it. The bulk of the reviews would still be cut & dried.

I need clarification. You'd allow a player to kick the puck in as long as his skate stayed on the ice? 48 minutes ago, SDS said: I have always thought that someone could write a book on buffalo sports that consisted of league wide firsts that happened in Buffalo. 1. naming of rich stadium 2.

I wonder if the Sabres were the first NHL team to put games on cable TV. 1972 — Rick was on TV long before Rick was on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
