Bury me.

BURY ME IN FACE OFF VIOLATION PENALTIES

 

[Levitate]

oh come on

 

[CommaSynapse]

Did the penalty box guy finally cut that ponytail off?

 

[RGY]

This might be the worst ****ing rule idea i have ever seen. It is the most discretionary vague thing to rule on. They are going to ruin games this year.

Way to go NHL

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

If Chytil keep this up, is it crazy to think he starts the season with the big club?

Crazy? No, but he shouldn't. I don't think either him or Andersson are ready from what I've watched.

 

[Irishguy42]

Stick checking has been made illegal.

 

[mrmovies779]

We are going to lead the league in face off violation penalties

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

This rule should not be enforced this much unless there's blatant cheating. Why? It makes zero difference.

Slashing was slightly deserved, but there needs to be a line drawn between actual slashes and incidental contact due to movement/shooting

 

[member 116805]

Penalty box guy cut his hair. Disappointing

 

[RGY]

If Chytil keeps this up he can survive in a limited role/minutes.

Agree 100%

Imagine in the playoffs, or during a big game where it decides it. People are going to ****ing riot. I already want to riot and it's the 2nd preseason game.

 

[Atax]

Haven't been able to follow too much during the off season. What the heck was that face off penalty?

 

[Levitate]

What specifically about Chytil do you find lacking so far?

 

[Machinehead]

Bright side - Hayes off the ice

 

[yrrebbor]

And slashing!

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I'm amazed you've allowed Glass to slip your mind that easily. He was #15

Close enough, I knew he was one of those numbers.

 

[offdacrossbar]

I was just about to post that Pumps must feel the pressure from the two young guns with how they're playing

i would think theres a bullseye on his back

he's definitely got some concern for his roster spot

Basically they're very strictly enforcing the players positions during faceoffs. Wingers can't be inside the circle at all, centers have to be perfectly lined up in their hashmarks, etc.

Players have long cheated those rules and are having a hard time adjusting

 

[NYR]

Skjei is gonna beast this season

 

[Machinehead]

Andersson hurt himself muh shot blocking

Appreciate it, thanks.

Great

 

[Fugazy]

Skjei looks locked and loaded for this season.

 

[KOVALEV022473]

Neither guy landed a shot lol.

With Matty having concussion issues, this was not a smart move in pre season

I don't know what you were watching, Pumper was cleaning him up with the left.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I think its more of a mental thing with him. He doesn't speak great English, he just turned 18, he'd be one of the youngest players in recent years to start in the NHL, he seems overwhelmed during interviews, from his answers I almost gathered that he didn't want to start in the NHL. I question how he'd hold up over 82 games, I don't think hockey skill is lacking with him at this level, but is he ready for a full NHL season from a mental standpoint? I don't think so. Andersson, I think is mentally ready, but I think the game is too fast for him right now.
