Thankfully that puck hit Hall in the head after he got his boating license

Adam Erne has two power play goals for the Red Wings. It is 3-2 Detroit late in the second period.

Those Dallas uniforms are the worst I’ve ever seen.

[heep223]

I know we all have nit picks about our broadcast crews but man, surfing around these games...we have it ####ing good.

[hwy19man]

Plenty of shots in the Bruins-Penguins game, 33-33 for now. Boston leads 2-1 with under five minutes left in regulation time. Trent Frederic scored the go ahead goal in the third period.

[FireGilbert]

12 straight losses for Buffalo.

[hwy19man]

Marchand misses the empty net. Lol.

Losing to the Devils puts the Sabres deeper into hell.

Hunter Miska is pure garbage. They are better off playing with an empty net. 4 goals on 7 shots.

It’s been talked about ad nauseam but yeah those lockouts annoy me. I think he beats Wayne’s record if there were no lockouts.

With the lockouts, I think he beats Howe but not Wayne. Which sucks I’m cheering for him.

He's already beat Wayne if we adjust for scoring eras:

This Avalanche broadcast is an absolute disaster lol. I only thought the Oilers broadcast was full of homers.

For those that have not seen the Tanev hit.


How in the world in this boarding? Some media are saying if you see the wide view it is charging...ok then give him 2 for that.

But 5 and a game for a perfectly clean open ice hit? This game is getting neutered.

The NHL punishes based on result, as opposed to action.

Not only is it a perfectly clean hit - that took place at least 6 feet from the boards, but he didn't leave his feet, and if you isolate at 17 seconds, Tanev is in his space and in the act of hitting BEFORE Tinordi shoots the puck.

It is extremely unfortunate that Tinordi hit his head and was injured, but it was a perfectly clean hit

[Erick Estrada]

It was maybe a little late but I don't see anything more than a 2 minute minor there at most. I wouldn't say that has anything to do with the game being neutered. NHL officiating is terrible and you are going to see a lot of bad calls and non-calls when the officials are this bad.

No way it's late. Contact happens as the puck is being released.

That was a textbook clean open-ice hit.

Unfortunate the guy didn't protect himself more and slid into the boards and hurt himself. But the hit was good.

[DeluxeMoustache]

The hit wasn’t late, but it was boarding. Player was vulnerable, leaning on his left leg. Tanev’s path was straight towards the boards.

Everybody who plays knows that hitting a guy from that 5-6 feet distance from the boards, towards the boards, is risky and frowned upon

[Enoch Root]

No way is it Tanev's responsibility to assess that Tinordi was on his back foot.

And boarding is when you're a couple feet from the boards. That was open ice - the assessment and pursuit from Tanev was happening more like 15 feet from the boards.

Sometimes #### happens.

Well, the rule is pretty simply phrased around a violent collision with the boards. Nothing about ‘a couple of feet’.

But the basic reasoning is to avoid the situation when there is a hit that sends someone into the boards in a way that they can’t brace themselves in any way and there is a violent impact with the boards that they can’t control or manage and puts them at risk

That’s exactly what I saw

And about not being Tanev’s responsibility, you are absolutely pretty much a zillion percent wrong. Maybe you have snoozed through the past decade or so, but there has been a lot of talk around the hitter recognizing when another player is vulnerable. A lot of the time it has to do with head shots, but it is the exact same thing. If a guy is vulnerable, and you fail to recognize it or just don’t let up, you may have a penalty coming

If you think Tanev decided to hit a guy 15 feet away and was incapable of making a last minute decision to pull up, that’s wrong too.

Sometimes people make bad decisions and then as a result #### happens. And they get a penalty

It all makes perfect sense. And even if you don’t like it, the ref called it. It’s boarding
