Around The NHL #13

[Jamieh]

My interpretation of the video is that he did intentionally throw his leg up to make contact, but I'm sure the argument will be it was not intentional to have his skate blade hit the opponent.

Wouldn't that fit number 2 pretty good?? Certainly negligent to throw your leg up to hit opponent and death occurred. And fit 3 as well.

To say the Oilers would have to trade one of McDrai before they can win a couple is foolish. RNH would be traded before those two in my opinion, and I would think he could fetch a real good return.

Win a couple of what? I don't think they get to the finals with the current D on the team. RNH won't get them a top pairing D, one of McDrai would get them a #1D and maybe a 3/4D. That is what they need to get to the WCF.

This is pointless anyway, Oilers aren't trading McDrai until they leave as UFAs or refuse to play unless they are traded. That day might be coming soon.

#3 says unlawful act, which I don't think means a sports rule book.

People have been charged in the past for using their stick as a weapon, why wouldn't kicking an opponent be considered unlawful when it is not part of normal sport activity?

 

[Arizonatah Coyetis]

Wow. I expected lawsuits, not this.

 

[Sinurgy]

Zegras placed on IR.

He's been dogshit this year, perhaps this explains it, dude must've been battling an injury.

 

[Arizonatah Coyetis]

I can't believe I'm using this phrase, in this way, but if they can prove a distinct kicking motion 3 does seem like a viable charge.

Edit: Its really gotta be the 2nd, the more i over analyze it lol. Not sure how much it matters to the actual penalty though.

I'm no Lawyer but here is England's definition:

Manslaughter​

Manslaughter is primarily committed in one of three ways:

1. Killing with the intent for murder but where a partial defence applies, namely loss of control, diminished responsibility or killing pursuant to a suicide pact.
2. Conduct that was grossly negligent given the risk of death, and did kill ("gross negligence manslaughter"); and
3. Conduct taking the form of an unlawful act involving a danger of some harm that resulted in death ("unlawful and dangerous act manslaughter").

I think they'll pursue #2, I don't think they can prove he was intentionally trying to kill someone but the kick up he did is so strange and basically never happens I think they can argue he was being extremely reckless and it caused loss of life as a result. In no way do I think he meant to kill someone but I do think he threw his leg up intentionally and recklessly.

I think that's generally what manslaughter is intended to cover, instances where you don't mean to kill someone but at the end of the day, you did and even if it was an accident your careless actions can cause you to be held accountable. It often occurs here in America where someone is driving very fast, loses control, and ends up killing someone. They 100% didn't mean to do that and are extremely remorseful but they still get manslaughter because their choice to drive so recklessly directly resulted in the loss of someone elses life.

I hate all this “the NHL is better when (team X) is doing well”.

Of course, Team X is always a big market team. What a bunch of elitist BS.

 

[Jamieh]

Wonder if this will be finalized before the Players retire???

A bit more background from someone who seems to know how this process works:

3 on 3 is usually fun, but this could be better.

I hate it.

 

[MIGs Dog]

I hate it.

Hate 3 on 3 or the idea to improve it?

I would also double it to 10 minutes, reducing the number of shootouts.

The idea to “improve” it.

I'm not sure i think it needs fixing, myself.

I like it the way it is

I’m fine with a half court policy. But the main thing they need to fix is the offside nonsense. So many plays blown dead. So many goals called back. Such a time suck. Just make the blueline 2.5x thicker. That’s gotta help right?

 

[lanky]

Sensors can call offsides better than people.

Rather than ending the play, the sensors could signal the offside immediately so that the attacking team knows they need to re-enter before scoring.

Get rid of the challenge of offsides. Anytime it is challenged it is so miniscule a decision that often times needs multiple views to make a determination.

Linesman is right there. Let him/her make the call and play on.

I hate 3 on 3, 4 on 4 was miles better

 

[Jamieh]

Seeing Dadanov a few minutes ago reminded me of a question on 32 Thoughts this week about NTC and Waivers. They stated that someone with a no trade clause can be waived and picked up by anyone even if that team is on their list. A no movement clause prevents Waivers.

So why didn't Vegas just put Dadanov on Waivers and Anaheim claim, then do the rest of the deal? Or was Elliotte wrong?

 

[TheLegend]

The clip in this shows more about how bad the Oiler's D-core pipeline is than how Jack Campbell is doing.

Craziest OT winner ever

Craziest OT winner ever

Nice!
Seems like a weird game. Sens gave up 4 straight after being up 4-0.

 

[Arizonatah Coyetis]

Looks like he would've made the save if he didn't duck.
