I'm pretty sure the loss of the loser point doesn't count if you pull the goalie for a delayed penalty call. But yeah, anything other than that, if you pull the goalie the point is forfeited.
 
Hey man it is what it is. Every year the bruins contended most here would clamor and clamor for big deadline deals. Swing for the fences Donny. He made excellent deadline trades in 2019 and it nearly pushed us all the way to a cup. Coyle is still here and a big part of why we are still competitive.

Last year they looked like world beaters already and then he added three great on paper and eye test players in orlov Bertuzzi and Hathaway. The bruins should have pulled off one in in those last three games but they didn’t and their victors went on to the finals.

The NHL is a tough league, tomorrow is never promised. It’s just the nature of the beast. I’ve made my peace with it being for entertainment and not putting too much stock anymore into the final results. Just enjoy the games and find ways to enjoy your team whether they be bottom of the barrel or cream of the crop. Otherwise, plenty of other things to do. I’ve become an avid gardener in the off season.
Just a reminder, last year the B's were the Juggernaut, and were ousted in the first round.
No team is unbeatable, no series is given. The playoffs are a marathon. B's have the best tandem in nets, and that gives them depth in that position. The B's D is upper class, and has depth, another valuable commodity. They do need Zacha and Debrusk and hopefully one or two others not named Marchand/Pasta to get hot in the playoffs.

It’ll also be about match ups and identifying what teams have done to adjust to you and vice versa.


A big reason we lost to the blues is because Cassidy never adjusted, even within game 7 where there is no more chances he didn't adjust. He learned his lesson imagine, but it would have been interesting to see where that series went if Florida was fully healthy. When you're a good x's and o's coach you're going to win more of your games than not, but when the playoffs come, you have to be able to adjust and think about the intangibles that aren't always quantifiable.


Im curious to see how Montgomery adjusts this year, last year he adjusted too much and it bit them in the ass, all while not adjusting the one thing he needed to until game 7 (goalie)
 
Sure but the Trouba thing was obviously a poor decision on the part of the league, has nothing to do with Tortorella having a tantrum and embarrassing the game more than it is already.
Yes that’s the point! Lol
The league is clueless when it comes to disciplinary.

I guy who two-hands another player, Baseball swing style across the head with his stick, gets a 5k fine, no games, but a coach who doesn't leave immediately once being ejected gets 2 games and a 50 k fine. Im not saying Torts shouldn't of been fined or suspended, but the severity of Trouba's actions could of been a lot more damaging and an eye sore for league, not to mentioned he could of ended Frederics career, caused a concussed or caused other injuries. He purposely targeted Frederic Head and attempted to injure him.

Wierd rule if so. What is technically the difference? The reason everyone pulls the goalie during a delayed penalty is the miniscule risk of an own goal being the only reason to have the goalie stay, so I can't see the circumstance of a delayed penalty being rule-altering. It's not like your goalie is automatically pulled, it's a coaching decision (just one that everyone makes). If it is I find that a wierd addition that overcomplicates things. I mean, if you manage to score an own goal during a delayed penalty in OT I feel that should be treated the same way as a goalie pulled-situation in regular play.

Is the rule as such put in place to simply pevent teams pulling the goalie during 3-on-3 OT? Why? Right now I feel like anything done to spice up the 3-on-3 is good with me at this point, it's getting to the point of being stale and over-coached.
 
Torts made himself looked like a sideshow clown. Selfish, egotistical and lacks self control.

I lost a lot of respect for Tortorella with his public dressing down of Bobby Brink. I don't care what was said after in private nor where the criticism was coming from. That video of him cursing out Brink will follow that kid the rest of his career.

And for what? A mistake made on a shift? Nothing basically.

Sometimes I wonder if Tortorella just completely forgets about the fact their are camera's everywhere during games now, or he simply doesn't care. Or maybe, Tortorella relishes the camera's attention a little bit too much.

The reason for the rule is as you say, to punish those who pull the goalie during 3-on-3 overtime, without taking the ability to pull for a legitimate reason, like a delayed penalty. I imagine they don't want a silly OT gimmick to be even more of a gimmick by having both clubs playing with no goalie because they really have no big incentive not to, because they already have a point.

Well, on a delayed penalty the opposition can't score because the play would be called dead as soon as they touch the puck. And if it's an own goal, you lose the point.

Actually, the rule specially excludes the delayed penalty:

Overtime – Regular-season – Extra Attacker - A team shall be allowed to pull its goalkeeper in favor of an additional skater in the overtime period. However, should that team lose the game during the time in which the goalkeeper has been removed, it would forfeit the automatic point gained in the tie at the end of regulation play, except if the goalkeeper has been removed at the call of a delayed penalty against the other team. Should the goalkeeper proceed to his bench for an extra attacker due to a delayed penalty call against the opposing team, and should the non-offending team shoot the puck directly into their own goal, the game shall be over and the team that was to be penalized declared the winner.
 
was yakking with a fellow fan at the junior game on the weekend, we were talking about NHL and the usage of the LTIR. He`s a Sabres fan (didn`t know they existed outside of Buffalo) and while he doesn`t mind the usage of the LTIR money in order to create cap space pre-trade deadline, his thought was you should only be able to use that money in reference to what percentage of the season is left at the time a player was put on injury.

Example, 82 games, if player X was put on LTIR on game 57, you are only permitted to use 31% of that players total salary as 69% of the season has already elapsed

Found that interesting

That is how it works.

When you look at CF or PuckPedia they show the full cap hits. Go to the daily cap and you will see it's broken down daily. Although you have to pay for that so I guess most people don't see it.
 
Got asked to fight by Macdermid for that hit on Bastian a couple weeks ago, turned it down, then headshotted Siegenthaler and waived at Macdermid as he was being escorted out. He will certainly be suspended for this one

More Raffi Torres than actual goon tonight
They showed hit he put on Lybushkin of Leafs.I am not even sure how he got up from that.Kid jumped to.Elbow tonite was dirty for sure.Next time they meet its going to be nuts Bet you Bettman attends.
