2021-2022 NHL Thread

I didn?t realize Kane faked his vaccine status. I thought he was just refusing to get vaccinated. What is wrong with this guy.

Yeah I somehow missed that too.  He could have just said he didn't want to get vaccinated and deal with the consequences.  What a blockhead.

Scumbag should just be barred for the season.

If anyone else did that at their place of employment that required prof of vaccination this would lead to an immediate dismissal. I think the nhl is being way too lenient.

He tried to block a puck over glass penalty and Anaheim scored on the ensuing interference penalty. I?m pretty impressed with the hand eye coordination fully extended with terrible sight lines to the puck.

You'd think but unions can be very powerful in this regard.

If the precise situation wasn't spelled out in the CBA, and the team doesn't want to pursue the more arduous and general SPC-contravention argument, then basically it's a no-go.

This is a weird one. I know it?s technically a penalty and it?s an automatic thing, but I feel like this one should have been let go.

Kind of relative though, there was going to be a penalty on the play either way.  It's either Puck over the glass or delay of game for playing the puck off the bench.  It just went to Tkachuk instead of the other Flames player.

Then just call the stupid puck over glass delay of game penalty. At least that involves something that actually impacted the game.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Nah, Tkachuk knew exactly what he was doing there. I think a penalty is definitely warranted. Players on the bench can't interfere with the puck, and the whistle hadn't blown yet. What would have happened if that was a slightly more debatable over the glass penalty and a player blocked it?

Can someone explain how we?re 2 weeks into the season and the bruins have played only 1 game?

Well really we are only 8 days into the season but NHL scheduling I agree leaves you scratching your head.

By Saturday they?ll be up to 3 games and the leafs will already have had 2 back to backs.

The schedule is stupid.

Edmonton plays 8 back to backs this year.  The Islanders have 19!  Meanwhile the Islanders have two weeks out of the first 5 weeks of the schedule with only 1 game.

Leafs are bottom half of the league with 13 back to backs but not all back-to-backs are the same.  The Leafs first two are back-to-backs against a rested team with the Leafs having to travel.  The schedule is stupid this year.  They can say compressed schedule due to the late start/Olympics but the discrepancy in back-to-backs and large gaps in schedule are just a poorly designed schedule

Nothing is ideal but it sure can't be easy trying to figure out 1300+ games and working around other events at the arenas, travelling, then take away 2 or 3 weeks in time during the season also...must be a nightmare.

Especially when you figure that for a lot of the US based arenas the hockey team isn't exactly a huge priority.

Well that didn't last long. Wonder if Tampa gets him back now that Kucherov is out (or if anyone higher than them grabs him).

I don't think he gets through 30 teams for T Bay to grab him back.
