2016/2017 NHL Thread: This is pucked up

[Donner]

Only the Penguins would win a game like that where not only where they horrendously outshot, but they didn't have a single freaking shot on goal for over half a game.


Also, the NHL really needs to tweak the offside review process. Not only was the one that disallowed the Preds first goal way too close to call to overturn the call on the ice, but there needs to be some kind of time limit on how far back they go. It's gotten to the point that the first thing teams do after allowing a goal is to go back and review the zone entry for offsides no matter how far back and disconnected to the play it was.

There needs to be some sort of middle ground or "close enough" rule put in place similar to the "neighborhood play" in baseball that penalizes the obvious misses but lets the too close to call stuff go. Otherwise you risk bogging down the game and having every zone entry turn into the "catch rule" in the NFL.

This. The point of calling offside was because otherwise it gave teams an unfair advantage by being in the zone before the puck. What it has turned into now is just a way to disallow goals. It's ******** and makes the game hard to watch.

Where's a great place to buy hockey jerseys online? Also, what's the rule, do you go for a size up from your usual shirt? And do you wear something underneath?

Daang, I haven't seen a worse four minutes for a bunch of predators since Chris Hansen's last investigative report.

Lol, in this city, if I want a hockey jersey, I walk 2-3 blocks in any direction. I've bought NHL memorabilia from amazon before, and I think the major hockey teams, and even the more successful minor league ones, have a way of buying merchandise directly from their website.

Hockey jerseys usually come in two kinds; the game-ready kind, with a drawstring collar meant to accommodate the pads, and a souvenir kind, which has a normal collar. Either way, they are meant to be bulky, so you won't go wrong buying a medium if you wear a medium for a regular shirt. Going one size up is fine though; one rarely wears a hockey jersey for its wonderful fit and fashionable appearance.

Ha, well I'm in Australia so no luck there oh well thanks for the tips on the size!

By the way, I love how easy it is to watch it in YouTube

It's my hope that one day the NHL will tear down the color barrier and finally allow Australian players in.

Out of curiosity, what jersey(s) do you think you'll get?

 

[Silvermoth]

I wanted to get the daemyung killer whales one



But they don't seem to sell them anywhere so maybe I'll just get a Canucks one. Coincidentally also involving orcas lol

 

[Darepool]

Isn't Adidas redesigning the Canucks jersey next year? Not positive, but you may want to wait and see if you like it better..

My man! Don't worry about the logo redesign, logos never actually retire. You can still buy all of the Canucks most terrible previous uniforms.

 

[Silvermoth]

Thanks! I can't wait to see their new logo though. I've been watching old Canucks games on YouTube. Love it! It's driving my boyfriend nuts lol

 

[Rowsdower!]

Yeesh, embarrassing performance by my Pens last night. I hope they don't play like that again.

As a longtime Canucks fan, welcome to our 20 year rebuilding process!

 

[Silvermoth]

Thank you! I must say, hockey has the friendliest fans. I think because it's not as well known as other sports people really hold it personally and want to help new fans discover something cool. It's a wonderful feeling as a new fan

LOL you've obviously never spent much time of hfboards.com

 

[Darepool]

Looks like we got a series. Sid played great tonight, but Rinne stole the show.

Ha, well I guess all fandoms have their problem areas.

Loving the stanley cup so far!

You should definitely watch games 3, 4, 6 & 7 of the Stanley Cup Final from 2011. Those are my favorite Canucks games to watch.

As great as it was to see the Pens shut out the Preds 6-0 tonight, the true highlight for me was seeing Crosby make Subban eat the ice.

LOL, yeah. Crazy game last night. Also loved seeing Malkin body slam that one guy (forget who it was) towards the end. Of course, I'm most happy about seeing the Pens just destroy the Preds in a lopsided win. They were really firing on all cylinders; Nashville never had a chance.

I know that, historically, teams tend to come roaring back after a loss like that, especially when they're playing at home. But I would LOVE to see the Pens take the series in six. If that happens, I hope they zoom in repeatedly on Carrie Underwood f***ing crying her eyes out.
