Rangers looking good (didn't get to watch today)

our offense and pp looking rough to start the year but shesterkin looking like lundqvist out there and fox isn’t a fluke he is elite top 5 defender in the league.

Impressive debut for daws in the devils game

 

[elpablo21]

What a meltdown in the 3rd

 

[DeadsetAce]

love beating the sharks

debrusk playing like he knows his career is on the line

 

[elpablo21]

Getting it Kraken on offense tonight

 

[elpablo21]

First dub at the crib

Next task for me while I get more acquainted with the home team players

I need some fun teams and star players elsewhere to follow

Still a few rules I need to get down

 

[DeadsetAce]

y'all smoked the Habs

most of the rules pretty straightforward once explained so feel free to ask away

Yeah icing was one I had no idea what it meant but when I actually read the rule it made basic sense

Offsides I got but got kinda lost on the delayed offsides, intentional offsides

Cross-Checking? I know it has to deal with how the stick is used but I everything looks like a stick is involved

Boarding. I can't tell what's ok or not when someone gets rushed into the boards

Feel like icing gets called most commonly in games

 

[DeadsetAce]

yeah you pretty much got the basics down then.

so for normal offside, the whistle is blown when team entering the offensive zone is offside AND has puck possession. but you can have situations where they're offsides but don't have the puck yet, so that's a delayed offside, so they can go "tag up" at the blue line and then go back in to continue play. and then sometimes players clearly know theyre offside and still touch the puck which they'll call intentional offsides. it's a sneaky way to get a whistle if a team is having trouble changing lines or even to break up a rush the other way in some instances. basically delaying the game intentionally for whatever reason. the "punishment" for that is the faceoff gets moved all the way back down in the defensive end.

cross check is two hands on the stick and you push/shove someone using the stick (v your shoulder or arms or hip, which are legal boy checks). usually players cross check someone in the back or sometimes up high around the neck and head, which is when it'll usually get called

boarding is basically when you crush a player that's defenseless into the boards. lot of times it's from behind so gets pretty dangerous with their face/head smashing the boards or glass

Bet.

I'll have to get used to formations a little more too but I feel like following how teams attack on offense

Another thing is I when I used to feel a little disoriented following the puck the every couple games I would watch every few years but I'm starting to follow the player movement more than the puck itself now

And before you say it, yes, I did think the first minute of the video could have been Vancouver circa 2011 if the rioters had been victorious.

 

[xxpizzo]

seeing my guy elpablo21 post got me thinking back to when that one guy who came across NHL during the playoffs in 16

Just read the details on the whole Kyle Beach situation. No way we’re not fighting in there.

He’s as good as gone. If he won’t resign, I don’t see how the Panthers keep him around. Sucks that our players have been put in this position. All we can hope is that the players rally behind whoever steps in and maintain this level of play.
