Penalties are called based off of the players intentions?

Hakstol used a Coach's Challenge for offside, got it wrong, giving the Preds another 5-on-3 and they proceeded to score the GWG off of it. Not the smartest of moves. I was at this game and it was a drat emotional roller coaster. Also the gtg was actually 6 v 3 with the net empty.

Five thoughts: 1) Despite the other defenders looking like a dumpster fire much of the time, Shattenkirk has been on the ice for most of the goals against the Rangers. I'm not sure he belongs on a top defensive pair, but I'm apprehensive - to say the least - that Marc Staal can keep up his play and earn that spot. 2) Kampfer and Holden managed to make a lot of mistakes, but not pay the price. Hopefully both are out of the lineup next game, because the shutout against the Habs wasn't a credit to the Rangers defense. 3) Steve Kampfer managed to high stick two guys on one swing of the stick, I've never seen that before. 4) The fourth line hasn't been bad, but Adam Cracknell and Paul Carey are very much marginal players who can't slot in anywhere else in the lineup for even a shift. Jimmy Vesey looked great in the top nine tonight, and Jesper Fast's return will also give them a player who brings good all-around play anywhere in the lineup. Still, I'm thankful the fourth line doesn't have a Chris Thorburn or Andreas Martinsen . 5) Mika Zibanejad has already matched his career high in power play goals, at 4. He's shooting a lot more, hitting the net more, and playing more minutes. It's strange to think, but before being put in this role, his career high in shots was 184 - he should easily be be topping 200, and well exceeding that. Last year only 119 of 226 shot attempts were on goal, but perhaps this reflects on the Rangers last year. It's crazy to think that a year ago they had Brandon Pirri pulling the trigger and dishing sloppy passes to Zbad instead of Shattenkirk and Buchnevich. The quality of play there is just so much better than last year. I suspect the frequent missed one-timers were partially a product of lesser passers on the power play unit.

When the Rangers fourth line came on the ice they couldn't even make clean passes to each other. It was all just a little out of reach or on the wrong side, so they kept being forced to grind to get possession, which they eventually would lose. Real mediocre play.

quote:“I would put an NHL team here tomorrow, but this one has got to work,” Fertitta said referring to the Rockets as his primary worry. “Would I love to have the other dates in the building, do I want to see Toyota Center filled up 300 nights a year, definitely. So we’ll do whatever we can do, but whatever we do is going to make sense. But yes, Will we be aggressive? Yes. That’s my nature.” http://houston.cbslocal.com/2017/10/10/new-rockets-owner-open-to-possibility-of-the-nhl-in-houston/ So what are the odds on the league announcing a new round of expansion by the end of the year now? 2 to 1?

Add Seattle, Houston and Quebec and you have the largest league in North America by number of teams and $1.5bn of pure unshared profit in the owner's pockets. Until the CBA closes the expansion money loophole, the owners have every reason to expand as much as possible in the next few years. Houston and/or Seattle both work as a possible relocation threat.

There are only a handful of teams that won't have attendance problems if the team sucks for a prolonged period. I'd say maybe the Rangers and Flyers are the only American teams that would fit that bill, and then most of the Canadian teams.

Yes, and people freaking out over numbers like this because it's a non-traditional market don't understand how attendance works these days. Hell, even now the Penguins "sellout streak" is padded by walk-up student tickets and you can get in below face value for every game on the schedule except Toronto because Leafs fans drive down, and Vegas because Fleury.

This was right before they caught fire and nearly made the playoffs on the last day.

It owned living near a Metro station because I could literally just walk to the station and be at the arena in like 30 minutes if I wanted something to do that night on a whim. I'd go to more Lightning games now that I live in the Tampa Bay area, but (a) the tickets are more expensive now that the Lightning are good/fun, and (b) I hate having to drive into downtown Tampa (even though the arena location is nice, I would kill to have some sort of decent public transit).

Carolina only just got bought out too... if the team continues to stink and the attendance stays low I could see that being a prime candidate to get moved. I don't think Houston is high on the list; I think Seattle is the next cab the NHL is desperate to catch. My bet would be relocation to Seattle, expansion to Quebec.

I think the most heinous thing about the way ticket prices work at PNC Arena is the fact that you have to pay $20 to park when there is parking is only half full. They could probably do a better job with discounted tickets but I guess ownership would rather make better money with less people in the seats by charging more. On the other hand, there is a hotel and bar within a quarter mile of the arena entrance so you could do a Saturday night game, get tanked, and then walk back to the hotel. But yeah a lot of the other issues with attendance is that the Hurricanes have to compete with like 3 college football teams for half the season AND basketball.

Yeah I would go Caps games all the time as a poor undergrad student. The girl's hockey team at AU would partner with them for fundraising too, so I could get lower bowl seats for like $25. And those were the golden Ovie years too, when defensemen didn't know what to do against him and he was constantly scoring on the rush. So much fun.
