andysoccer12 Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Well I just saw Ben Eager get in a fight, he got a game misconduct, but the announcers were mentioning the jersey not being velcroed in or something in the back. Can someone explain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTaylor44 Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 He probably didn't have his fight strap hooked to the waist of his pants.Its just a strap of material with velcro on it that hooks around the waist so you can't pull the jerseys of during fights.

zer0dotcom Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 I believe that you can be assessed a penalty for not having it fastened. But that rule is several seasons old, it's nothing newOne thing I've noticed several times is players getting blood on their uniforms. I can't remember if they changed jerseys later in the game, but I remember a rule about players not being allowed on the ice if they have blood on their uniforms. Anyone know if these Edge jerseys repel blood like they do sweat? make them easier to clean to get the players back out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct about the fight strap. I believe I have seen players sometimes being ejected as a result of it not being fastened because it interfers with a players safety, just like when the play is whistled down when the goalie loses their mask. Its more to protect the player who didn't bother to do it up than anything else because they don't want to see a player be blindsided and say, paralyzed as a result.

Blue Falcon Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 My question is, "How would you clean them if they repel water?"Same problem I encounter when I try to clean my pet duck. Yes, that's DUCK and not some other word.You don't clean them, they clean themselves. RBK spent all that money investing in these uniforms, they're state-of-the-art, super kewl, better than before, awesome, spend $350 dollars, easy tearing, pwnd jerseys. They're that good.If they're so great, can I get them to come over and clean my house too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domi28 Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 This is the "Rob Ray Rule". If your jersey comes off in a fight because it is not tied down, you get tossed. You can play all game with it undone, as long as you don't get into a fight you are allright. The NHL was tired of seeing this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oddball Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 What year was the fight strap rule put in place and what year did they begin enforcing the fight strap to be fastened or it's a penalty? I want to say within the last 15 years. Am I wrong? I'd love to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenaissanceManAB Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 This one's affectionately known as the Rob Ray rule after the Sabres' toughguy who had a habit of doffing his jersey in fisticuffs. It was a point of strategy because his shoulder pads were nice and plastic so there was nothing onto which his counterpart could grab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
