Should goals off skates count? Tristan Jarry doesn’t think so.

Can only score with lacrosse-style goals. Keeping the puck on the ice is child's play.

I think the idea would be that he’s using his stick for leverage or to tie up the defender to make himself immovable, and offering his lower body as a target for deflections.

I’m not sure how much this really happens in game scenarios, but it’s a plausible way to score some goals.

A player who just plants himself in front of the net to just to act as a deflector or a screen doesn't seem like a problem to me.

If the league wanted to put a stop to that, maybe allow interference by the defending team to move said player without having to worry about getting penalized. Or make the crease bigger and make it a no fly zone for attacking players.

yeah well i don't think you should be able to just plant yourself on your knees and have your humongous leg pads cover the bottom half of the net either there tristan, but i don't think you complain about that much

NBA players should have honorable 1v1s in the paint too i guess

maybe when we go to war we should just have muzzle loaders and stand in a line like real honorable men did

A bigger crease would probably be a solution — perhaps a return to the old semicircle, to keep attackers off the posts. Hopefully it wouldn’t come to that. It would only be necessary if players really stopped making hockey plays with their sticks.

Nah, Jarry has always been this dumb. Just watch an interview with him. This is what’s going on behind those dead eyes

Honestly he should be more worried about the bad goals he’s letting in than these off the skate plays that end up in the net.

No one is blaming a goalie for not stopping a puck when it goes off a skate. Everyone already understands that these plays happen and they end up in the net. Whether it’s off your own defensemen or an opposing team’s forward.

Jarry has a save % in the 80 percents, he has bigger things to worry about.
 
Relax, he’s just trying to revive the “legit goal” discourse started by that HF guy last playoffs. *points and laughs*

I suggest we rename non-legit goals as “Jarry goals”. As in: Sid backhands the puck off Malkin’s skate for their 2nd Jarry goal of the night! No one can read an open skate blade quite like Crosby!

I propose a graded goal system:
1 goal: deflects off another player when it was going wide
2 goal credit: deflects in when shot was on target
3 goal credit: beats goalie without any deflection off a skater
4 goal credit: goalie doesn’t even touch the shot
5 goal credit: water bottle popped

Imagine making a product meant to appeal to weirdo goalies. It's debatable whether they add more to the sport than a shooter tutor.
 
I'll give Jarry some credit and guess that would be step 1 in a multi-step plan.

Step 1: Get rid of goals deflected of skates
Step 2: Get rid of goals deflected of body parts
Step 3: Get rid of goals deflected of sticks
Step 4: Guaranteed clear view for all goalies at all times, no more of this screening nonsense
Step 5: He is still not able to make a save
Step 6: Find something else to complain about

Maybe the NHL should partner with youth hockey leagues to provide kids with bullies so they develop a personality before making it to the big leagues.
 
I like how he provides the solution to his own problem and doesn't even realize it.

"I don't know how you take that out of the game but I don't think you should be allowed to stand there and let the guy shoot it off you," Jarry said. "I think it's almost impossible to stop. Like, he gets position on our player and he just parks himself at the back post and their guy just shoots it off him.

So, if he doesn't get position on your player, it's not going to go in?

It's almost as if hockey is a team game and the defencemen are somehow involved.

How does he think creases get cleared? Harsh language?
