GDT: Game 36 - New York Rangers vs Washington Capitals - 7pm EST, MSG2

[Kane One]

the puck never crossed the end line so why is that icing?

By the time players get to the hash marks, linesman make a judgement call

 

[mike14]

Officials very much in holiday mode

 

[duhmetreE]

I guess you are a new fan that does not remember Marc Staal

he's been worse than Staal has ever been this season

 

[Machinehead]

the puck never crossed the end line so why is that icing?

NHL officials have no idea what icing actually is since the rule change and they just wing it.

By the time players get to the hash marks, linesman make a judgement call

but doesn’t it still have to cross the end line? I thought the judgment is with regards to who wins the race

 

[Kane One]

When the hell does this penalty ever happen lol

I don’t remember the last time seeing this.

 

[RangersFan]

Good call.

 

[DanielBrassard]

That's a penalty

 

[Cmox]

Remember Semin doing the bongo drum beatdown on Staal though?

Semin blasted a load of beats on Staal.

Do they have another mode?

 

[Kane One]

No, it’s if the linesman thinks it will cross the goal line and if he thinks the defending player will get there first.

 

[MysticLeviathan]

that was dumb by kreider

 

[mike14]

No, it’s if the linesman thinks it will cross the goal line and if he thinks the defending player will get there first.

Oh wow. That's a terribly written rule then

 

[RangersFan]

Does Kreider remember last season at all?

 

[GENESISPuck94]

"Good shot by Mika Zibanejad"

What does that even mean? It didn't go in.

 

[MysticLeviathan]

god trouba is so bad on the 2nd unit

 

[Machinehead]

"Good shot by Mika Zibanejad"

What does that even mean? It didn't go in.

That it was difficult to stop?

 

[MysticLeviathan]

how do we not score there?

how do we not score there

He didn’t whiff

 

[turcotte8]

god trouba is so bad on the 2nd unit

That's only cause he can't shoot or pass, other than that he's great.

 

[Circus86]

But how?

 

[RangersFan]

How? How?

 

[Cmox]

How?

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

We don’t score those kinds of goals

 

[MysticLeviathan]

We don’t score those kinds of goals

to be fair, most teams don’t have defenders who put the puck inti their own net
