Lmao. Back to back games our goalie just gives away a goal for free for no reason. Gg I’m out
 
I've been a hockey fan for more than four decades, and I still don't have the first idea what it takes to get kicked out of a faceoff.
Its a bunch of things. Not having the stick down in time, not having skates sqare to the face off. Guys can get kicked because the winger encroaches into the circle. It gets ridiculous sometimes. It almost feels like the linesmen are just looking to toss guys. Pretty sure any official can kick a guy too, not just the puck dropper.

I have seen guys get to the dot too slow and get tossed. That usually happens on purpose after an icing to just get a few seconds more rest.

Team reaches with stick far more than they take the body to interrupt play. Not really creating the interruption we need to get space or create solid turnovers.
