D Ty Nelson - North Bay Battalion, OHL (2022, 68th, SEA)

Apparently, all of the puck has to go in the net in case you were wondering

That’s not a play you see too often! Clearly the right call; if all of the puck has to cross the goal line on video replays for a goal to count, then half a puck going in has no case.

Also, Nelson’s an absolute tank.

Well, the whole puck has to go over the line.

 

[LaVal]

Reminds me of the time somebody broke their stick taking a shot on Brodeur, and the heel of the stick went to the net at the same velocity as the puck. He made the save on the stick and let the puck in.

 

[JoVel]

I assume if 1% of a puck breaks and the 99% goes in, it's ruled as a goal. So that begs the question, how big of a piece counts as "half a puck" so that it cannot be rules as a goal?

Hockey version of how many grains of sand is a sand pile.

 

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

Pretty sick, but I gotta assume the puck had some flaw in it or something.

Dudes screwed up- they gotta collect the rebound(s) and bury both halves in the net at the same time, duh. The rules are clear.

Technically even if one percent breaks off and doesn't go in the net, it's no goal. It's just that I don't think anyone can find that 1%.

God I hope this isn't true as teams might actually weigh the pucks or out them under a microscope to see if they are 100% intact.

I actually think that it should count as a goal even if the goalie saw a marble and not a beach ball.

Pucks routinely have chips off of them after a bit of game play. Technically there are a lot of goals scored with less than 100% of a puck.

I don’t think there’s an actual rule providing for a stoppage of play due to a broken puck. Presumably, the ref would stop the game if it were broken badly enough to no longer have the general shape of a disc. But it’s ultimately a discretionary call.

Hey give me a break as I'm really drunk (that's what happens when one drinks before making dinner) and my post made 100% sense to me.

Plus anything to have more scoring in the NHL.

No seriously, it’s an interesting question where NHL refs would draw the line. Like I assume they wouldn’t stop play for a tiny little chip, but what if they were about to have a faceoff and noticed it? Would they switch to a new puck, or just be like **** it and play on? And what’s enough damage to be worth stopping live play for? It’s just one of those obscure little issues you don’t normally think about.

 

[abo9]

I've (unfortunately, fortunately??) played on the same team as a guy who could break a puck like that...

As a goalie, it's insane to watch. I can't imagine how terrified players must be to be in his line of shot

 

[Oddbob]

That puck must have had issues, as that shot doesn't look that hard.

 

[SullivanT]

I had a batch of pucks when I was younger that would break sometimes when hitting the post

I can't wait for the first review that's arguing that a piece of rubber on the molecular level became detached from the puck and therefor 100% of the puck did not cross the goal line.

Bit of a deep dive here on Nelson. 2500+ words and 14 clips, so settle in.

The Analysis: A look at Ty Nelson's game

If Nelson is able to hammer out his inconsistencies in his own zone, add additional strength to his frame, and any lingering lapses in his decision making, I believe he has the talent to be a top-four defenseman in the NHL and is worth a look in the top-25 for the 2022 NHL Draft.

1G, 1A - 13 minutes into the game.

Just saw the weight on this kid, he is built like me. Which means if he fills out like I did (but stays leaner cause the whole pro athlete thing) I'd expect him to possibly hit 210. I don't care how tall you are 210 is not a small person.

Signed someone who is 5'10, 220

Bizarre flex, everyone knows that 210 is not a small person. But I'm glad you filled us all in on your vitals. Let's have a Friday

Not meant to be a flex more of an interesting comparison as there aren't too many pro athletes built like me.

I was more so saying if he fills out the way I did there should be no concern about size. The personal side was more so meant to be a trust me I know.

In awe at the size of this lad. Absolute unit.

Lol, I think this kid may get the buy he's small treatment but I'm willing to bet he ends up being an absolute unit by 22.

 

[ORRFForever]

2 points (assists) for the kid who looked like me when I was that age.

And a GOAL !!!!

1G + 2A

 

[Jeffrey Pedler]

He's listed on the OHL website this season as 5-10, 197. Not ideal height for a defenceman, but that's pretty solid. Kimmo Timonen played 1,108 NHL games and he's listed at 5-10, 194. Not saying he's the next Timonen, but it can be done if the skills and smarts are there.

He can still grow 2+ inches, remember he is 17 playing in the OHL. The 197lbs is impressive though.
