2016-2017 Out of Town Scoreboard

[SaveByRichter35]

Nothing is worse for entertainment than cheap goals, which is why I made the point in the thread about shrinking goalie pads. You want excitement, add chances, not goals on unscreened shots from the wing.

Anyways, goals per game is higher than it's been since 2010-11 at 2.77. In 2010-11, it was 2.79.

Also taking away goals because a guy's foot is on the right side of the blue line but still considered off sides because he is not touching the ice. That rule needs to change if they're going to keep going over it with a fine toothed comb. If any part of the body is still onside, touching the ice or not, it should be onside. I know they decided not to adopt that rule for the rest of this season but I hope they do it for next season. God forbid the Stanley Cup is won on a play like that and we have Brett Hull all over again because the refs don't wanna call it back in the middle of a celebration.

Sid with the hat trick; reaches 40 goals on the season.

I just realized how unbelievably shitty Colorado has been this season. Holy fuck. They are 18 points behind the next worst team! They also have only scored 138 goals in 71 games. That team is abysmal.

[Phil in Absentia]

Yup. Arguably the worst team since the '05 lockout.

I held onto Duchene in fantasy hoping he was going to end up playing with Tavares

I'm just watching the highlights again of the Colorado/Chicago game. Chicago scored 3 goals in 34 seconds midway through the 3rd. The first was a clear off-sides that was challenged but still not overturned for some bizarre reason. Colorado, besides being really bad, can't catch a break either.

I wonder if Sakic comes down in his Duchene asking price this summer. I think he was rumored to want a first round pick, an NHL player, and a good prospect, for Duchene. Either way, I'm really curious to see what happens in COL over the summer.

Right. After a shit show like this season there has to be some big changes. Think Roy saw this coming?

To some extent. Roy knew the team has issues of which he was also one. He just didn't want to be associated with or blamed for the failure.

Holy shit, just saw the replay...
WHY THE FUCK CAN YOU CHALLENGE IF THEY'RE NOT GOING TO OVERTURN BLATANT CALLS?!?!?!?!?

That's beyond frustrating.

This link shows Toews being offsides - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5br78i8SZM&t=2m34s

You can even rewind it for the full play.

Here it is in slow-mo - https://t.co/8FCfAmFdN1

That's so fucking wack.

What's the point of the review if you still can't get something so blatant right after? Is it an ego thing? Those linesmen that reviewed that need to be disciplined.

[phillyb™]

I agree. We see missed calls all of the time, which is understandable; linesmen and refs are human. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt for missing plays in split seconds LIVE. But holy shit, if you're reviewing something and it's literally that blatant, there is NO excuse to miss that call.

And yes, I'd love to start seeing linesmen and refs being held accountable for missing things like this.

Also, if the NHL really wants to get these calls right, why doesn't Toronto step in here?

"Hey guys, you want our help with this one? Cause 19 in red is off by about 4 inches"

"Speed is taking over the game; hitting is on its way out"

Someone tell that to Matthew Tkachuk - https://streamable.com/qic1g

I'm not even mad. I hate the elbow, and I don't like that he's so young and that he'll likely throw dirty hits for the rest of his career, but damn; I like a kid with an edge. I fucking love the look back:





Zero remorse. Fuck the Kings.

[Lt. Dan]

Idk what's worse. The blatant elbow or the fact that the ref is 5 feet away and didn't call shit.

Fuck the Kings but he should sit some games for that

[phillyb™]

Yeah, I hope he gets a hearing; I imagine he will.
If you watch the full clip, it looks like Pearson gets his gloves and stick up high on Tkachuk after he realizes that Doughty's down.

To be fair, the ref wasn't looking, he was ducking to avoid the puck coming around the boards

If Brad Marchand wins the Art Ross I'm gonna kill myself

[phillyb™]

I'm rooting for McDavid for Art Ross, but I wouldn't be upset if Marchand, or even Kane got it.
I do NOT want to see Crosby or Malkin win it, though both are having amazing seasons.

Why?

[Karan]

McDavid for the Art Ross and Hart.
