I already provided the example of a puck battle with a group in the corner where illegal acts knowingly happen and go uncalled. Trips and everything else. I think that explains the larger context being discussed here?

 

Hmm... I feel like you're looking for this cut and dry, black and white answer and you really aren't going to get it. So so many things are context dependant on a given play in a given situation, and while some prohibited act may be listed in the good book, it doesn't neccessarily mean it's going to get called, whether intentionally or unintentionally. And frankly nor should it.

So when there's a battle in the corner and someone's tripped, it's not a penalty?

 

Hmmm, I disagree.

 

Thanks for at least trying to answer. It was a simple question based on your words so I just wanted to clarify.

I mean not all trips are  infractions.

You can’t have a conversation with someone who’s proud of repeating the same statement, and avoids questions that poke holes in it. You’ve been more than patient Deb.

 

"Poke holes." Total horseshit.

 

You guys are looking for specific black and white answers and you're not going to get them because you CAN'T.  Just because something happens that breaks a rule in the rulebook doesn't mean it's going to be called or even ought to be called.

 

If they did that for everything it wouldn't be NHL hockey.

 

End of story.

If you break a rule in a rule book it should be called.

 

Or you may as well throw the rule book out.

 

And, quite honestly, I'm ok when they do that. I'd prefer they don't make calls...the flow of the game is better. But if you're calling 5 on 3's and calling some too many men but not others, and then decide not to make a call in OT, it's inconsistent. Either do or don't. 

 

To allow refs to pick and choose really isn't the answer. 

 

End of story.

Disagree if you want. Those things happen in battles 10 times a game and don't get called. Cross checks, stick holding, roughing, etc.

 

If you called those kinds of things in those kinds of situation 100% of the time because it should be a penalty, would change the shape of the game entirely. It would cease to be NHL hockey.

You didn't include tripping in that.  That one's usually called.

Why?  They're both thin and kinda Draisaitl-ish (pissy).

French* pee or American pee, hmm I wonder which one I won't have.

Why not, not have, both!?!  And paying such a premium?  Start the car, I'm outta here.

*I know its Belgian; but they speak French so, painted with the same brush. 

 

Well, I like Stella & don't care for MU 😂 MU is more light than Stella.

 

I often get Stanley Park when I'm at the rink but sometimes I like to change it up & now I can't, unless I get cans I suppose.

Life ain't that simple.  If it is we aren't watching NHL hockey anymore.   We're watching some washed down, sanitized version of the sport. Might as well be watching Novice kids hockey.

Lol. Doesnt matter. Pick an infraction.  The answer is the same.

It’’s very well written.
 

Arguing about AI removing emotion from the game, makes sense, but was a tiny part of the conversation.
 

The part assuming that fans need to whine and bitch, rinse repeat, ignores solutions explored in the conversation today. Most of the swearing/emotion was last night. Today was pretty solutions focused. 
 

Plus they didn’t watch the game, so a little misinformed, however well written.

It does matter. I'm talking specifically about a tripping call that was missed and you're muddying the waters with a bunch of unrelated stuff.

 

I understand and support not everything being called...but tripping usually is. And that's my point.

 

The call that was missed in OT was a trip. Not a corner battle with cross checks and roughing.

I love when "she's emotional" is the go to. It's kind of hilarious to me.

 

Maybe I'm just a lazy back checker.

Maybe relax with a tall can of Miller?

 

Deb - as a mod, is it okay on CFF to reply to someone with the stereo to the face STFU gif?

 

asking for a friend…

Kids today would say your are literally a nut; literally, I mean like really literally, literally literally, literally.

Nothing really to do with literature, unless you like language, sociolinguistics (I just googled that up, literally).

Just like they no longer say you're welcome; they say, "No worries".

But they're right, I literally ain't go no worries.
