A few pictures of the Olympics winner/ World Champion / Czech ELH winner / GM / and, since the last year, the coach of the league leading team (who became the coach after firing his own brother ):

That mother **** is as big as a house. I can’t help him figure out how to move that big ol frame. No coaching can prevent that type of goal.

Dubinsky out 6-8 weeks, I’m sorry but

http://nhl.nbcsports.com/2017/12/13/bra ... ssion=true

From the article: "As you can tell from the video above, Kassian dropped the gloves and started going after the Jackets forward, who was just ducking for cover. Dubinsky took a few good shots before skating off the ice very slowly."

However, if you are not a homer and actually watch the video, Dubinsky technically drops his gloves first and ducks because he gets BLASTED with he first shot.

I hate that muppet...


Also, Beleskey on waivers from Boston...as if we all didn't know that was gonna be a bad contract...Beleskey is a good 4th line player, really good...but not worth four sheets...

New "lex Leggio"!

After David Leggio did this, the AHL added game misconduct to the penalty:

..and, after he repeated it in the DEL, Germans added an awarded goal (which I think is the right way to deal with it):

Will Lundqvist allow Leggio to one up him?

[mikey]

Is it in the rules that situation is an auto goal...?

[Tomas]

AFAIK, no. The "AHL Leggio rule" is explained here, and the amendment (game misconduct in addition to penalty shot) was done in 2014:

The "DEL Leggio rule" (automatic awarded goal) was adopted in the last few days (as Leggio did the trick 5(?) days ago).

Couldn't happen to a nicer player. Hope he's done for the season.

So, the referees gave a discretionary automatic goal...? Yeah, I'm not so sure that's legit...

[MR25]

It's a deterrent, I'll give you that.

Does the NHL have any rule allowing a discretionary automatic goal?

Mario was hauled down during a breakaway on an empty net and was awarded a goal.

Not "gave", "will give" from now on. Last Friday, DEL did not have any other penalty than to just award a penalty shot - which Leggio saved (similarly to the outcome of his 2014 AHL game). So, DEL just announced that from now on, an intentional dislodging the goal during the opponent's breakaway attack will result in the "awarded goal".

I don't think Leggio was at fault any more than a basketball player intentionally fouling an opponent who has a bad free-throw shooting percentage. Leggio was even quoted after the game that he wanted to help the team and that he would always take the penalty shot over 2-on-0 situation. But, I think the "awarded goal" is the correct way to combat a bad hockey rule.

Yes, it does.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Awarded_goal_(ice_hockey)

It does not even have to be "mauling" - just throwing a stick in the path of a puck that would eventually cross the (empty net's) goal line would do.

Thanks!

[Tomas]

BTW, Leggio reasonable tactic is nothing against what this guy did (Igor Murin, retired Slovak goalie who used to play for HC Zlin in the Czech Extraleague). Incidentally, the goal indeed did not count!

(the only flaw in his performance was that he forgot to "check the goal post before rushing to complain)

Those couldn’t look tackier.

You some red pinko commie, ain’t ya?

[NTP66]

I think less would be more with that design, personally.

[mikey]

Ew those are fresh pillows...

[meow]

Coming from someone that loves clean pad designs - Reebok denied my request for all white pads and made me have their logo non-white - those are my favorite pads I’ve ever seen.

[NTP66]

Is their logo stitched or painted on? There are solutions for both.
