LumpyGumby posted:I was watching that live and was furious when they actually called it a goal, and had to use a challenge after to get it corrected. And yeah, the shortie after was hilarious. Bettman was on CBC during the ASG saying that they're going to start instructing referees to rely heavily on the call on the ice, and only flip things if it's especially egregious. Which I thought the Bruins goal would be but apparently not.

Jamwad Hilder posted:Rask is being Rask again and rookies stepping in and filling important roles. Specifically, the middle six. Boston struggled with depth despite Marchand-Bergeron-Pastrnak being one of the best lines in the league. DeBrusk and Heinen have been a huge asset. Cassidy seems to actually be a very good coach too. Also, McQuaid was hurt.

Duckman2008 posted:I mean, it’s a penalty. I think it’s ridiculous because they ignore similar interference calls like this for all games all the time. It’s a huge issue. If Forseberg doesn’t hit the head, there’s no suspension. ...Well yes, if the hit was safe but just late the Department of Player Safety probably would not have suspended him.

Jovial Cow posted:Can someone please devils advocate this for me? I’m astonished there was no penalty for that hit on Stall nor a suspension. It would have been a legal hit if Staal did not stop and was planning to phase through the boards, his braking is what caused his head to lower and take the contact. Emelin cannot reasonably be expected to know Staal could not phase through solid objects so he is not at fault.

He became good at scoring goals at 30 years old though which is always risky. (Other than that one crazy year in NYI.)

The extra year in the NHL is way, way more of a factor than age. I'm not saying I think he'll score 60 next year or that I necessarily agree with Jamwad but at that age range playing in the NHL and more importantly having access to NHL quality training programs and equipment and all that is much more important than aging a bit.

Jamwad Hilder posted:A lot of it is because they don't have to play him 30 minutes a night anymore. Used to be the defense was garbage outside of Chara and Krug, but McAvoy, Carlo, and Grzelcyk have all been able to step in, and Kevan Miller isn't bad anymore. Also the minutes he is playing are probably a bit easier on his dusty old bones when he can let his partner take care of stuff sometimes and not have to do everything himself because he's beside god drat Trotman.

If Sweeney had his normal one pick a round he’d seem like a great drafter. It’s his extras where he goes loving way off board for some reason.
