Prophet of Mike Zagurski 0 Report post Posted October 7, 2005 I was watching Detroit @ St. Louis and I am sick of seeing so many penalties. There were three Red Wings in the box at the same time because of stupid calls. We were allowed more physical contact in high school roller hockey compared this game. They need to lighten up with these rules because it is interfering with the flow of the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the max 0 Report post Posted October 7, 2005 It's a double-edged sword though. If they were still obstructing and intefering we'd all be chapping their asses about not enforcing these new rules. Maybe the players should learn how to play within the new rules and stop taking such stupid penalties. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can have physicality in hockey without all the clutching and grabbing and hooking and holding that made the game die a slow death in the last decade. Once the players figure out where the line is -- and they'll have to soon, for the sake of their jobs -- the game will look a lot better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Players need to realize that any form of obstruction WILL be called and that the NHL is not gonna slack off this time because it is trying to rebuild its image and create a higher scoring product. By the same token, yes you can play physical. The Lightning-Canes game had only 9 penalties throught the game but with plenty of hitting and good flow. So yes there is a balance that can be met.

the max 0 Report post Posted October 7, 2005 If it makes you feel better, you can say that you agree with Chris and indirectly agree with me. But that's all semantics. Devils @ Flyers Thrashers @ Crapitals Pens @ Canes Flames @ Jackets Bolts @ Panthers Bruins @ Sabres Sharks @ Blackhawks A decent schedule for tonight. I'll be watching Bruins @ Sabres obviously, but that Flames/Jackets could be pretty competitive as could Bolts/Panthers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. Tyler; Captain America 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2005 'Canes won in the shootout. I dunno, I don't get why people don't like the shootout; it doesn't really hurt anything. Either way, the Pens and Canes get a point; might as well make sure someone gets the W... Crosby, Lemieux, and Palffy all were an inch or so away from scoring (although, I suppose that's how it always is), and Stillman owned Caron for the winner. The rookie goalie for the 'Canes, Ward, looked real good, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smh810 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2005 Bolts lose a goalie duel to the Panthers tonight. The team was sloppy as hell although the Panthers do look improved and have better coaching now. Again John Grahame looks very strong which makes me feel good about the Lightning long term. Sean Burke plays his first game probably tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Man the Pens looked ot be oh so close from breaking out into a 9 goal performance Flames are the most overrated team. There, I said it.

The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2005 Living in Buffalo...where for whatever reason we decide to spend a lot less than the salary cap... I do have to at the very least commend the organization for having what resembles a plan. For 2 years (3 including the lockout) we were told to support the team until the new rules and CBA were in place. They built a team for speed and skill based on the idea that it would all change eventually. I think Boston is a playoff team. But they do look slow...as did the Islanders...because the cheap ass Buffalo brass wanted speed. So far...it's working. For the first time ever...I'm seeing something out of guys that couldn't cut it with the clutch and grab New Jersey style system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2005 Yeah I know. It was just annoying the way things played out here. For a few years we were told that we wouldn't spend money to compete...but a cap was coming and it would level the playing field. Then the cap comes. Now...the Sabres already had their core team under affordable contracts...so I understand why they didn't go after a bunch of guys... BUT...it was a little hard to swallow when we get a cap...and we lose our best defensemen and our top goal scorer anyway. I like our offense. I hate our defense (although I'm very happy to be 2-0 and know that our best defensemen hasn't even played yet). And I'm super shaky on the goaltending. We're going to lose tonight in Ottawa.
