HFBoards GDT: 1/4/2025 | A dozen games

[Boss Man Hughes]

The great McMichael.

Especially on an offside play. What is the spirit of the rule? Is it to prevent the opposing attacker from hanging around in the O-zone, waiting for a pass? Or is it to nitpick if someone's skate laces or nose hair is half an inch offside?

If the referee can't take one look at the play and make a call in 10 seconds, it's not offside. Give an advantage to the attacker, more goals scored. Yay.

It was easy to see from one view. Don't know why it took the idiots so long to make the call.

I agree there needs to be limitations to the reviews. Also I wouldnt mind it if you couldnt review an offside after the puck has been in the zone for 10 seconds or whatever number would make sense.

 

[Planetov]

Happens every game. Probably more than once.


It was clearly offside.

My issue does not lie with any particular play. Just the sideshow.

 

[Ghost of Murph]

Never know what to expect with noon start times. This game has been surprisingly entertaining.

 

[Block]

No, 8 games was 12 too few, sorry broadcasting idiots.

 

[robertocarlos]

Afraid of the Canadiens? You should be,

They've got the bomb.

 

[hamzarocks]

Crazy how good the caps are.

Team last year looked so lifeless and easy to beat but just a revamped team that is a legit cup threat

Crazy work by the coaching and GM of the team

 

[Ghost of Murph]

PLD penalized for being too strong.

Too many slow players on one team. Got a helluva lot faster after the departure of the anchors. Last years team was skilled enough to make the playoffs, just not fast enough to win once they got there.

 

[Ghost of Murph]

Ovi! Russian machine unreal.

 

[eojsmada]

What can you say about Ovechkin....at his age and in THIS economy....unbelievable

 

[max21]

Ovechkin is just unreal, how do people even hate on the guy

 

[Mr Nogatco]

ovi .. just absurd what the man is doing

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Amazazing!

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Sweet defense AO

 

[MSZ]

Tough afternoon for Quick.

 

[eojsmada]

Caps seem to have every answer for the Rangers.

 

[Ghost of Murph]

NYR have some dudes who are lazy defensively. Killing them this game while the offense is looking pretty good.

 

[mad4comp]

How hung over are these guys? Need to stop with the noon games, bet you most of these players are wishing they could still be sleeping.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

The greatest empty net goal score of all time = Ovechkin.

Nice play to set up the empty netter.

 

[Mr Nogatco]

is it just me or is ferraro barely able to mask his contempt for ovechkin

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Wilson ENG

Ovechkin assist

 

[Ghost of Murph]

Ovi with nice assist on the empty netter.

 

[eojsmada]

And, of course, Wilson with the EN to trigger every Rangers fan.

I'm a big fan of a time limit on these.

If it takes THAT long to make a call, it's not enough evidence to overturn.
