Ginette Reno posted:I'm sure there is to a degree but imo NHL refs are among the best of any in pro sports (not saying much, granted) and generally do a pretty good job. Or how about decisions made by race control in basically any motorsport series on the planet. If you think the NHL has a lot of "this thing racers are doing is okay oh wait no it's not you punished bro" try watching F1 for a while.

Well Chicago has secured the conference so the final determination is all in the hands of St. Louis, Calgary, and Nashville now. And maybe San Jose. I think a Calgary Chicago matchup would be fresh and exciting because it hasn't happened in a while. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEveabtsUUI edit - i am a dumb xzzy fucked around with this message at 17:22 on Apr 3, 2017 |

DJExile posted:Flyers last 3 games are @NJ, who's been long since eliminated, vs. CBJ Saturday (who will likely be locked in their spot by then and resting guys) and vs. eliminated Carolina Sunday night. There is going to be some amazing dont-give-a-poo poo hockey played in those games. I was a little amused by the post on reddit that claimed the Flyers are the first team in NHL history to have a 10 game win streak in a season and miss the playoffs.

NHLPA could force the cage issue if they wanted and the NHL wouldn't have much of a defense. "Oh yeah we totally cool with our assets worth millions getting their face smashed in and care about it so much we'll force a lockout to keep visors." Good luck defending that. But the players just don't give a poo poo because rawr hockey players are just that tough! Until there's some momentum nothing will change.

Jordan7hm posted:Guys don't wear cages in beer league. We're a very long ways away from mandating cages. It seems based on skill level. Cage use with first time skaters is basically 100% around me, and goes down as you beer league games go up in divisions. I don't see the games played by ex pros or college players because I'm a bad but I assume visors are dominant up there. I guess confidence makes you invincible, until you get nailed.

Chicago has played like rear end against Colorado for several years. They just can't handle bad teams. Was the same with the Oilers for a while, Chicago against Edmonton was basically a guaranteed loss.

The correct solution is to just play OT until someone scores, playoff style. No ties, no loser points.

How about a 10 point system so you can divide out points based on all kids of criteria. Got a misconduct? Ouch that's -2 points. Failed a challenge? -1 point. Bettman favors you? +4 points.

Oh heck yeah, youtube flipped on their tv service just in time for playoffs: https://tv.youtube.com/welcome Relevance to hockey is it has NBCSN, CSN, and FS which I think will get US folks almost all hockey games. If you live in one of the 5 cities that have it turned on that is (New York, Los Angeles, the San Francisco Bay Area, Chicago, and Philadelphia). $35 a month makes it pretty competitive to the other two options for streaming hockey (sling and vue). It's better than sling because it has dvr features, better than vue because it's cheaper.

Much as I love seeing the blackhawks play, spending three hours driving in the garbage fire that is the Chicago highway system and $1000 for decent seats just ain't worth it.

Jamwad Hilder posted:I don't think there are any women who could play in the NHL, and having them as a gimmick in the preseason seems like kind of a lovely thing to do to sell tickets. My curiosity is more about what happens if they start taking hormone supplements (and it doesn't run afoul of league doping policy). If they bulk up, could a transgender professional hockey player physically compete in the NHL?

Ala carte channels will never happen. The channels you want subsidize the ones you don't. The theory is that enough people watch at least one channel in a package that they all make money. If you got only the stuff you wanted, the whole TV economy would fall apart.
