Jupiter Jazz posted:Ah, that makes sense. Overall most penalties and stoppages in hockey are designed to force the defensive team to gain possession of the puck rather than just hack at the puck. As I'm sure you've seen, sustained possession by one team for any length of time is rare. Control of the puck jumps back and forth frequently, and if icing and over the glass didn't exist the moment a player got the puck in their own zone they'd just unload it down the ice to take the pressure off.

Jupiter Jazz posted:I have no idea who that is! #93 Mika Zibanejad the Rangers' 2nd best forward behind their star Artemi Panarin. Zibanejad is the goal scorer, Panarin is the playmaker. Panarin is one of the top three or four players on earth and was nominated for MVP this year. Zibanejad benefits a lot from playing with him.

I have no idea why I thought Zbad was short, but sure enough he's 6'2". It would be rad if Carolina could keep their friggin' hands to themselves for like, a minute at a time.

ThinkTank posted:I thought they were linemates. I stand corrected. Basically Zibanejad is an amazing player that probably deserves to be thought of as one of the top centers in the league but he's also had a few injury troubles keeping him from putting up the total points that might make that more visible. but so far against the Islanders and today he's been bad and the Rangers top players don't look good at all and Carolina's top players are outplaying them

note that for the rangers just being here is a victory in and of itself so like they don't have any real expectations to live up to. they're good guys and can go far but not yet.

Were any teams along the East Coast in the running to be a hub? I don't think so off-hand, but Ft. Lauderdale, Raleigh, Washington, Philadelphia, NYC metro, or Boston would've been interesting choices over the next few days had they been picked. Please no.

Jupiter Jazz posted:Is overtime that unpopular? Playoff overtime is notable because it can last for hours. It's unlimited 20-minute periods until somebody scores, and as you might imagine, it can get unbearably exciting.

It's great when it's two teams you don't care about. When it's your own team it's all the enjoyment of suffering a giant anxiety attack every eight seconds for a technically endless stretch of time.
