The_Admiral Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 You know, we're all throwing fits about stupid rule changes that mess up the game and force everyone to relearn it, but the NFL makes stupid rule changes that mess up the game and force everyone to relearn it every single year. The difference is that the NFL couches its explanations in so many layers of jargon, circumlocution, and altogether empty verbiage that we applaud Weekly TV Show Where Fat Guys Repeatedly Run Into Each Other Headfirst for being the archetypal American synthesis of brains and brawn, whereas the NHL can never muster up anything more elucidating than "rrrrr, uhhh, gotta let 'em play, mmmm, rrrrr, uhhh, good tough Western Canadian boys out there, mrrrrrrrrrrrr." In either case, we're sitting there wondering what the hell just happened, but the NHL doesn't let us pretend we know what the hell just happened. In conclusion, the cake is a lie, perception is reality, Bud Light here we go ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 That, and NFL football is inherently loaded with stoppages in play where the announcers can explain, and re-explain, any nuance to the rules. Plus Ed Hochuli can freestyle a couple of quatrains if the mood strikes him right, and NFL media saturation is at a point where, if you have an interest in any professional sport and live in America, it's damn near impossible not to know what's going on in The League, even by accident.

Kramerica Industries Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 It's curious that Yzerman is championing the return of a rule that would make the team he runs, lose their only positive quality.Brilliance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STL FANATIC Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 What problem is this Ringette Line supposed to correct?I don't know if it's the intention, but one problem people have with the two line pass is a team defacto icing it, but having a teammate standing on the other side of the redline just get a deflection on it to nullify the icing and then skate to the bench for the change.

Still MIGHTY Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 What problem is this Ringette Line supposed to correct?Basically bringing back to two line pass without bringing in the two line pass and slowing down the game to reduce the speed/momentum that is obviously leading to the increase in concussions all the while confusing everybody else.I can't wait until the whole league is playing the trap and is dominated by a Nashville Predators dynasty.Some people trying to come in and learn hockey have a hard enough time having regular icing/offsides being explained to them. I can't wait to sit around and discuss those along with hybrid icing and these damn ringette lines. | ANA | LAA | LAR | LAL | ASU | CSULB | USMNT | USWNT | LAFC | OCSC | MAN UTD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 ...slowing down the game to reduce the speed/momentum that is obviously leading to the increase in concussions...Trying to reduce concussions by re-instating the red line is based entirely on ass-backwards thinking.So it doesn't really surprise me that the NHL is giving it serious consideration. It still sucks, but it doesn't surprise me, PotD 26/2/12 1/7/15 2020 BASS Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal Regular Season Champion 2021 BASS NFL Pick'em Regular Season Champion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramerica Industries Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 An easier way to reduce concussion risks would probably be to introduce no-touch icing calls.I don't agree with the idea, but it would be far less impactful than re-introducing a rule that, by allowing for the trap, nearly killed the damn sport altogether about a decade ago.

Brass Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Wow. And I thought the NBA officials were bad. First goal by the Lightning was an obvious kick, yet the refs call it a good goal.EDIT: It's 2-0 and Johnny Boychuk continues to be the dumbest defenseman in NHL history. This guy is an absolute dope. On 4/10/2017 at 3:05 PM, Rollins Man said: what the hell is ccslc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Red Sox? I can point and laugh at all day long right now.This isn't the same team that one the Stanley Cup or beat the Lightning in seven games, though.That team is on the bench because of injury.I don't care about the real Red Sox, because my imaginary Red Sox are currently 20-0 and score an average of 37 runs per game.
