"If they're upset uhh, that's their problem."

Yeah that's definitely an icing. They really thought that because Harley couldn't knock it out of mid-air that it shouldn't be icing

Yeah, in beer leagues it would be waved off because refs like waving off icings. In the NHL, they don’t count an attempt to play a puck. You either touch it or your don’t.

1st in the central is starting to look pretty realistic again, 6 points back with a game in hand and 2 head to heads remaining

Loser Hintz. Only got 3 points tonight. wtf

Roope must have been mad at himself for underperforming at 4 Nations because he has been ON FIRE ever since.

It's amazing how Hintz suddenly has a higher ppg than last year. I was worried our dude was washed

I edited to make it clearer but the message was the same. Not that it matters.

I have a bad habit of editing my messages slightly right after posting them (as I'm doing with this one right now)

Went to bed after the 2nd confident in the win.

Sitting in the stands, I had a bad feeling about the game after 2. NJ was playing pretty well and the Stars never make it easy on themselves, although it looked like they were going to after the 5 on 3 goal.

But, as the song goes, when you're hot, you're hot!

I talked with an NHL linesman years ago. He said that an inability to knock a puck out of the air by many players had no effect on icing because not every player has that skill. He was referring to Derian Hatcher, IIRC.

I rarely see icings get called off unless the player just stops skating. Even if it's on the ice and it just goes through their skates, it gets called most of the time. The point is the puck was cleared too far, not that the defenseman didn't catch it.

The one thing that I see that doesn't follow the rulebook (unless maybe this changed, recently) is missed passes aren't supposed to be icings. That used to get Klingberg in so much trouble, he was off the mark on stretch passes a lot. But I don't have much of a problem with the way it's currently called.
