Copley takes a cheap shot in the face from a guy skating by trying to be inconspicuous. He hits back super softly with the blocker hand. That’s a no-no. He should get a penalty. The rules say this is a 5 minute major, ejection from the rest of the game, and an automatic suspension for at least the next game. All for a few glancing blows responding to something the refs missed. the problem is that NHL can't decide what it wants to be. A number of years ago they decided get rid of the fighting and they put rules in place for that - but now they regret that and want to go back to a more 'let the boys settle things' approach so they still have all the retaliation rules but they have stopping giving penalties to instigators the way the concept was intended. And in front of the net is where you see it the most. For a few years the 1st guy that did anything in front of the net it was 2min and it really cleaned up the nonsense around the goalies. Now the 1st move gets ignored and we're back to having scrums in the crease everytime a goalie holds a shot - which I think is completely stupid, and its the retaliators getting busted. But that apparently is the game that Toronto likes. Edited February 18, 2023 by gehringer_2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothfacekilla Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Then the Ducks' social media team thought they could dunk on Copley (I think he very obviously did want that smoke) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothfacekilla Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Also I think I'm losing my mind. I was convinced I made a post in here about how I was wrong about Bertuzzi and that he looks pretty good now. But I think it was a dream where I did that, kinda scary that motownforums is invading my subconsciousness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordstanley Posted February 19, 2023 Author Share Posted February 19, 2023 Perhaps too soon to be scoreboard watching, but i don’t care, was nice to hear that the Pens, Isles and Panthers already got thumped today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordstanley Posted February 19, 2023 Author Share Posted February 19, 2023 Wings were back on their heels after that goal and were at risk of going down by 2 before period's end but instead ...Suter ties it with 16 seconds to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordstanley Posted February 19, 2023 Author Share Posted February 19, 2023 Disastrous end to 2nd period. Wings starting a 4 minute powerplay with just over a minute to go in period. Silly holding penalty negates half of it 5 seconds in. Then Kraken come down and score with 7 seconds left in period. 3-1 Seattle after 2. Streak in jeopardy.

1984Echoes Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Red Wings 1 Chiarot 3 It's getting ridiculous. I want Chiarot traded at the deadline for whatever SY can get (zero value so there's no possible way he gets traded) and Edvinsson brought up in his place. Even if he starts as 3rd pairing just to get acclimated... if he performs well give him a raise to 2nd pairing... etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gehringer_2 Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 (edited) I'm hoping pretty desperately that SY is trying to clear some deadwood and that we are going to get some addition by subtraction for the deadline. 🤞 Edited February 19, 2023 by gehringer_2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gehringer_2 Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 I suppose sweeping a West coast trip was never in the cards. And having to go from one coast to the other to play the Caps three days later without coming home seems like cruel scheduling so I'm not real hopeful about a bounce back for that game.

1984Echoes Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Yzerman reluctant to trade Bertuzzi after the recent run of wins... I understand it, he'd like to get this team into the playoffs and Bertuzzi is a big part of winning these types of games; even if he loses him after this season for nothing. I'm not going to argue against it either... if Stevie wants to trade him so be it, and if he holds onto him for a run to try to get into the playoffs and perform in the playoffs (if we get there)... so be it. I'm not going to angar either way.
