The_Admiral Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Well, they came out angry. They should have come out scoring. Mike Smith is happy to let you score on him this year.

NEW.ERA Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 They come home Saturday to play the Flames.In a game I would laugh my ass off if the Flames win, Vancouver will probably just do what they always do to us.

Sport Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 10-minute long-change 4-on-4 will deliver us from evil.Why isn't overtime long change right now? It's such an easy fix and it would have a big impact on overtime and they could implement it for tonight's games if they wanted to. Forget competition committee or testing in the AHL or waiting until next season or any of that nonsense. Just do it now. Who cares? It's like tagup offsides. That was so obviously needed, but we had to have years of NHL media types calling for it and a lockout to get that instituted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Here's something fun That video brings up a question I've long had, why don't goalies have to serve their own penalties? Every team has a backup goalie now. This isn't 1935. If the starter gets a penalty throw the backup in net for two minutes. Why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kramerica Industries Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 So...much...Mike Smith!Also, not sure how you can have little segments of goalie's chopping crease-forwards, and Martin Brodeur throughout, and not include this gem from the '95 playoffs.

Sport Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I imagine most coaches would just wait until the next stoppage to change, but in theory, yes. Think about the hilarity of one goalie racing to the bench while the other hurriedly skates from penalty box to goal in his full equipment.

Kevin W.

I thought the Buffaslug uniforms were all the same color?

Who cares?The argument is probably that teams would see that as ceding their home-ice advantage. I would argue that you should have done more with your home-ice advantage in the first 60 minutes, and now because of your league's pervasive go-for-the-bronze mentality, every game after the All-Star/Olympic break is a 3-2 shootout decision and that sucks. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-kj Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Solution: - Drop carnival game shootout - Drop overtime - Allow ties Done. (I mean... really? It's a serious problem that teams don't change ends in overtime? Y'all just look for "problems".) Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

It's a serious problem that teams don't change ends in overtime? Y'all just look for "problems".)My "problem" is that too many games end in the carnival game shootout. So I was trying to find a solution that would create more goals in overtime and therefore would mean fewer shootouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninersdd Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I've always have kinda liked shootouts, but they're happening far too often. 10 minutes of OT would at least be one way of reducing them.

The_Admiral Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Yeah, they're fine in moderation as an ultimate decider of a hard-fought game. But with the risk-averse culture in the NHL, too many teams drag ass through the overtime and take their chance on what's basically, with NHL talent and just three rounds, a coin flip. The league needs to further deincentivize (and I'm sorry for using such a hideous word, there are few more hideous) prolonging the game into the shootout. Maybe that means no more loser point. Alas, "hyaw, we gawta play good mistake-free hawkey." No! Make a mistake!
