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

Tristan Jarry is a dumdum.

15 year old logic

A 15 year old who just threw his controller across the room playing Chel with his brother, who won't stop playing the instant replay over and over. "That goal is bullshit! Look how the puck bounces off three players, and then magically changes direction in midair. This game is broken!"

I think Keith Tkachuck made a career having pucks go off his ass. Should be re-visited...

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.

Shut the f*** up TJ.

Overpaid sieve.

Added Jarry:
“there are already so many different ways to score on me, bouncing it off another guy? that’s bullshit, come at me like a man and shoot high glove side…one on one”

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.

I don't think we're there yet.
