Series Talk: Round 2: Vegas Golden Knights Vs. Oilers

[Super Cake]

Go Knights Go!

 

[LadyStanley]

Ah, the league required days off.

 

[Oilers in NS]

Maybe the sheer arrogance and sense of entitlement Leafs and Oil fans display embarrasses them as countrymen?

oui

 

[Bartleby]

Hey, since you guys won and are feeling better about things than they are in Edmonton, I'm wondering if someone can answer a rules question from last nights game? Mid way through the 2nd Hyman took the interference penalty and so EDM was down a man, 5 on 4. Then Eichel and Kane had the matching minors about halfway through the VGK PP. Shouldn't that have been a 4 on 3 situation for the remaining time on VGK's PP? Has that rule been changed? Thanks and good luck the rest of the way.

 

[LadyStanley]

Coincidental penalties can either mean both teams are shorthanded or there.may be times it's required that they sit in the box with no manpower change.

NHL playoffs: Oilers spark debate with 'targeted' hits on Golden Knights' Mark Stone

The Oilers appeared to be making an effort to hit Mark Stone in the back in Game 1 after he'd been struggling with back issues for months.

Not a good look for Oilers

 

[VEGASKING]

Winnipeg was cheapshotting him too. The cross check after he scored was the only thing I noticed that was in penalty territory last night. You know a player has a certain injury of course you're going to target it.

Coincidental minors only affect the number of people on ice if they happen at 5 on 5 and then only one set of CM will affect the manpower. Any other times the players sit in the box and feel shame all by themselves and wait until the first whistle after their 2 minutes are up.

OK, thanks. So, just to be clear, the only way a 4 on 3 can occur is if all of the penalties that would lead to that situation are non-coincidental, right?

Guess it depends at 5 on 5 I believe it is somewhat discretionary if coincidentals are a manpower penalty causing 4 on 4 and then it's just a minor. But once a minor is called coincidentals don't change the on ice manpower.

The first 2 could be coincidental making it 4 on 4, then another single penalty would make it 4 on 3. CM at 5 on 5 always result in 4 on 4 since they changed rule they wrote to stop the early 80 Oilers from taking CM to play 4 on 4 with Gretzky, Kurri, etc.

 

[LadyStanley]

Hmmm

 

[LadyStanley]

Perhaps LB update

Next, hearing fall out

 

[sabresfan65]

He's getting at least 1. I bet he gets 2.

 

[Wisdom]

You have to wonder what was going through Pietrangelos mind to do that to arguably the second best player in the nhl.

 

[sabresfan65]

You have to wonder what was going through Pietrangelos mind to do that!

Fixed it for you. Who he did it to is irrelevant.

 

[Wisdom]

Good point

[LadyStanley]

One game

 

[Three On Zero]

Please take care of business tomorrow, Edmonton has a thread dedicated to hurting Vegas players. You know what to do! Go Knights Go

 

[LadyStanley]

Deepest condolences. This is a time when the game is less important than life.
