Enforcing slashing is going kill Crosby's game.

Or will he still be allowed chop fingers off?

A carve out.

I think the idea of eliminating offensive zone faceoffs is interesting. Have the O get possession somewhere in the zone and then let the action start.

Kind of the same on the slashing infractions so far - NHL does nothing, fans are up in arms, NHL cracks down "oh the game is just a big penalty fest".

I've played hockey most of my life (mostly at centre) and always felt that bastardizing Smokey Yunick's quote summed up face offs best. There are two types of centreman, cheaters and losers. The NHL has a lot of rules on the books that they adore ignoring completely, not sure why. Players will ***** but they'll get used to it and the game will be better if the NHL sticks to enforcing it (they won't).

Bumping for a similar reason as above. Have one roster open in our keeper league that we've done for a number of years now. PM me if you're interested and I'll send you the team info.

Thanks!

anyone itt use NHL.TV last year and could give me a quick review on wether it worked great, fine, or at least acceptable, and on which device? I didn't have it last year, want to get it again for this season but I'm not gonna bother if it's as aidsy as in 2016 after the MLBAM takeover. Would be watching via Chromecast or PS4. Thanks!

I did only use it to watch live games - I heard much more mixed reviews for the replay and vault and such.

a penalty for a failed offside challenge is so ****ing stupid

why is this league always run by the dummest ppl possible?

related: Quintel or whoever left, replaced by Parros or something
former GOONZ are the only qualified Hockey Ops candidates for some reason
(but but but ... Parros is one of the smrt goonz! #progress)

The Jets' schedule looks really easy compared to most years.

27 days in a row at home.

Only 12 back-to-backs.

Half of the Eastern teams done in two road trips near the end of the season. Only six trips out east, one just in Canada, one just to Buffalo.

hey what's Paul Kariya been up to lately?

Quote:

Since his retirement in 2011 after a series of concussions, Paul Kariya has been a veritable ghost, keeping his distance from a game that he once ennobled with his gentlemanly play, his speed and his scoring touch. In November, Kariya will join former linemate Teemu Selanne when they are inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame, thrusting him once again into the spotlight. After a long - probably too long wait - Paul Kariya surfaces.

maybe next year they'll have a good center

and blowing your frenzy load on a defensive dman (after trading a great offensive dman for an aging defensive dman) when you have the best goalie is fairly wtf

Thanks for the feedback people. Seems like a bit of a mixed bag tbh. Maybe they'll offer a free trial or something. Maybe I'll just get it anyway bc f it.
