There is not enough liquor on the planet to make watching the draft in person entertaining unless you're there with someone waiting to get drafted (or getting drafted yourself I guess).

Being able to move the puck around on fresh non-choppy ice (provided you're not at MSG) is an advantage to the PP, but not in a hugely significant percentage.

A scoring chance for charting purposes is defined as a puck directed towards the net from the "slot", roughly between the faceoff dots and below the top of the faceoff circles (the ringette line if you prefer).

McDragon posted:So in the NHL, do backup goaltenders tend to get quite a few games? Backup goalies only seem to get to start dead rubber games or ones where the main is injured in the EIHL, but I think I heard most goalies don't start two games in a row in NHL teams. It depends on the teams and the goalies. Calgary will probably have Kipper play 45+ games this season, where other teams that have goalies that are much closer together in skill will have a much more even ratio.

Robot Danger posted:I'm watching my third game right now, but one thing I can't get used to is trying to keep track who's on the ice. It's making it hard for me to learn anything about my team, so about how long does it take for someone new to the sport to get used to the substitution difference? It will certainly take some getting used to. However once you watch your favourite team for a while you'll start to recognize players on the ice dependant on what the situations are and how they move with the puck. Plus there's always jersey numbers.

a false posted:there's also a new faceoff violation rule this season that i've already seen a bunch of times: if a center plays the puck with his hand off the faceoff before one of his teammates touches it, it's a 2 minute penalty. i am honestly not sure what the rationale behind this being penalized is. Mike Gillis hates Manny Malhotra. (MG is the one that came up with the rulechange)

Really though I think it's because the defensive center just has to fall forward and then can pass the puck back with his hand, creating an unfair advantage. Well, what if you just call a hand pass on the play and have another faceoff? Think about how that would affect icing calls.

The IIHF won't let you win faceoffs with your feet, but that results in a toss out.

Not unlike the Henrik Sedin Hat Trick. Ridiculous no look backhand saucer pass assist, pass through the goalie for an easy tap-in, lazy stick penalty in the offensive zone.
