Biggest pet peeves in hockey?

[eXile3]

Not sure if it was mentioned but when a player breaks his stick and stays on the ice. You’re almost useless without a stick. Go get it and get back in the play.

They usually only do that in their own end, it would be worse if there was no player there at all than one without a stick.

Embellishment, diving, Ray Ferraro and Emily Kaplan

The word is not pronounced FUStrated it’s frustrated. There are two “R’s” neither is silent, stop saying FUS it’s FRUS!! Please, and thank you.

As for hockey, it’s fans banging on the glass alone at the top of my list.

Often the guy without a stick ends up being stuck out there for 30 seconds or more unable to really do anything. They could have gone to the bench in about 5 seconds even from their defensive end. A replacement could be ready to jump on right away.

Sorry if someone posted this already but I want to bring back regulation ties. Each team gets 1 point after 60 minutes and its settled. No more people complaining about loser points or having to spend extra time trying to figure out how many wins a team really has.

Fans that attend live games hate ties, especially STH. That ship has sailed.
Fix the point system.

Losing in Game 7 of the SCF.

Ironically my pet peeve is people who think ties in this day and age is in anyway viable or wouldn't be massively unpopular

Having a written rule book and then not calling the game by it. Makes zero sense.

 

[Brookbank]

Zoomers crying about the shootout when they were under 5 years old in the pre shootout era. Whining about the shootout seems to be a right of passage for hockey hockey fans. You aren't part of the club unless you whine about the shootout. Even though the subject still exists because boomers always bring it up. And boomers are perpetually stuck in the early 2000's. They at least have an excuse.

Losing in Game 7 of the SCF.

Imagine having 5 cups and saying this like its some ice cold take. Try losing game 7's in the SCF twice in your lifetime with no cups. You sweet summer child.

Players that are constantly spitting everywhere while sitting on the bench. They spit on the floor, they spit on the inside of the boards where people put their water bottles, they spit over the boards onto the ice. What are you, a f'in camel? It's so disgusting.

Also players who don't care that you can smell their nasty equipment from 15 feet away because of the amount of bacteria living in it.

The DoPS not disciplining blatant dirty plays because they didn't result in an injury, while suspending for reckless, but non-malicious plays that resulted in injury.

While I too preferred a system with ties, the point system is far more frustrating. The cynicism the NHL in having in an inherently unfair system in which some games are worth 2 pts and others 3 (so that true optimists and those naive people who don't know any better can call their well-below average teams .500 teams) is a sad reflection on human character and vies, for me, with the inconsistency of the Department of Player Safety and "game management" by game officials for most frustrating "thing" in hockey.. (Can anyone tell from that wording that I find something frustrating? )

"If Gretzky can get traded anyone can get traded!"

No, for f*** sakes, no. Unless players are allowed to be bought and sold as commodities again, not just any player will get traded for any reason. Makes me cringe every time I hear it.

NHL: 5 minute 3 on 3, play 10.
Hockey in general: Parent politics in kids hockey

 

[Golden_Jet]

NHL: 5 minute 3 on 3, play 10.

Seems like the players have no desire for that, or might have been implemented by now.

 

[dumbdick]

The blatant cap circumvention that's going on.

Also...

That guy whose name sounds like Batman but he looks like the Penguin.

 

[Ceremony]

Certain announcers referring to assists as “helpers”

"apples"

 

[I am not exposed]

Calling them apples is worse.

 

[Took a pill in Sbisa]

Certain announcers referring to assists as “helpers”

Or kicking the puck as "soccering the puck" to try and sound more interesting

I don't know if its a pet peeve but I've literally never heard the term "riverboat gambler" used in my entire life for anything except for an offensive hockey player with poor defensive awareness.

Don't get it. Nostalgia is the only reason people want it because it reminds them of their youth. Objectively ties are terrible. So many times amazing hockey games go to OT and I hate that it goes to a shootout. Would hate it more to not have a winner
