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

[WarriorofTime]

Jarry is having a very bad season for a team that’s been struggling. I don’t know if he’s in the best head space at that moment to be proposing rule changes.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

WTH is he going on about? While we're at it, let's also disallow any goals that unintentionally deflect off sticks or any body part. Only clean goals allowed.

And players have to call their shot and scream out the quadrant on the net they were aiming for

I.e high glove, low blocker, 5 hole, etc.

I'm sure Jarry will see that Ottawa are stripped of another first.... this "not part of hockey" is an afront to the league... why would Ottawa do this.

 

[Bard Marchand]

Get ice skates outta hockey!

 

[Ghost of Murph]

Don't stop there, only slapshot goals count.

Only slapshots, bar-down.

 

[Golden_Jet]

Nonsensical, no idea what he's blabbering about. Pens have scored off skate deflections many times over the years.

Ya agree, it was a dumb comment,
Crosby should tell him, you realize I’ve scored goals like that.

Only slapshots, bar-down.

Honestly, slapshots are pretty gimmicky, imo.
Boom Boom Geoffrion is a hack and we're more likely to see a 7th team in the league before slapshots stick around!



No Michigans, no deking on a breakaway, no deflections!
The only acceptable celebration is to stand there with your arms at your side.

I think Jarry probably hadn’t seen a good replay of the goal when he answered that question. Batherson actually was attempting a hockey play, looking to one-time the puck at the back door, but his stick was locked up by a defender. Jarry couldn’t see that because it was behind him, and all the talk was about the puck going off Batherson’s skate, so he seemed to have had the idea that Batherson was just standing there looking for a skate deflection.

In context, I can understand Jarry being annoyed by the idea of a guy setting up on the back post and just letting people shoot pucks off his feet into the net. Even if technically legal, that wouldn’t be a hockey play, and Jarry’s comments are aimed at that scenario. But that’s not quite what happened here.

Only slapshots, bar-down.

Bar is an almost miss, kind of cheap. Should be pure net only.

Also, if the goalie touches it, it should be a dead puck so nothing that deflects off the goalie either.

 

[Phrasing]

I’m sure Jarry voiced this opinion when his team was the beneficiary of a goal off a skate as well.

 

[OysterForever]

I like the "euro rule" where kicking/deflecting the puck to goal if skate doesn't come off the ice is good goal. Kicking motion is always debatable.

Pretty sure it was Aristotle who said "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it and starting a thread about it.”

Bar is an almost miss, kind of cheap. Should be pure net only.

Also, if the goalie touches it, it should be a dead puck so nothing that deflects off the goalie either.

Jarry approves this message.

 

[NyQuil]

Luke Hughes scored a goal on his own net with his face.

Probably shouldn't be allowed.

Agreed. If the goalie makes any contact with the puck, then no goal.
