CoRvInA Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 What we were arguing about on the Habs_sens game! http://www.tsn.ca/columnists/bob_mckenzie.asp Check it out ... we deserved a better outcome regardless that our habs' tank was dry on the third period... plus like I stated before because of the above we were at least one man short for 16 min :hlogo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Napier Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Refs had a of bit of a double standard with the crease crashing with the Habs coming up on the short end. Hope they get a good talking to from the league. Goalies need more protection now that defenders can't cross check some guy out of the crease. Even though Lindros is generally hated by Montreal fans, you got to love the irony of him knocking Clarkey out of the top 100 all time scorers. I can see the tooth less wonder sulking when Lindros finally pots the goal that does it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndmartinxyz Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Not a huge Lindros fan, but anything that knocks that AH*le Clarke off the top 100 is ok by me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortcat1 Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Is there also place for the fact that refs will make errors? There's an awful lot that takes place on the ice at the same time. Refs will miss some stuff for a variety of reasons - not seeing it, having a wrong angle perspective, distraction by something else goinn on around them, errors in judgement, etc, etc, etc. In the last game between the Yankees and Angels, in a late inning, Cano was called out for stepping out of the running box to 1st base. It was a very disputable call. As the announcers of the game said, you would likely have had different decisions if different umpires were there to make the call. It was a matter of perspective, in this case. Later, to make things worse, the 1st base umpire missed a call on a 'hit' by the Yankee player. He called the runner out at 1st base even though replays showed that he was safe, though it was a VERY close call. If both of those calls had gone in the Yankees favour, the circumstances were that they would likely have scored a few runs that inning. We could very well be seeing a Yankees/White Sox League championship series. To quote a wise old proverb, "Shit happens." It's up to those shat upon to get up and carry on (or dwell on the crap that they had to suffer). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoRvInA Posted October 13, 2005 Author Share Posted October 13, 2005 Brodeur comments on how he says he too fears more than getting scored on if the refs dont get the whistle out of their arse someone is gonna get hurt! http://www.rds.ca/hockey/chroniques/189966.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Napier Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Well if I remember correctly back in the 80's crease crashing was very common. Glen Anderson scored half his goals for the Oilers by going straight for the net and knocking the goalie, the puck and himself into the net. I guess the side effect of more open, free wheeling hockey is that these guys aren't being slowed down on their way to the net and they will plow into the goalie more often. Refs need to crack down on it or goalie injuries are going to pile up faster than autumn leaves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonus Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 well, if they just made the goalie pads bigger everything would be safe. Definitely should look into that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie_Morenz Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Will this be the rebirth of someone like Dino Ciccarelli? Parked in the crease harassing goalies. His career numbers were good! 1232GP 608Goals 592Assist 1429PIM I hated this guy, he was such a... well only bad words come to mind but very effective.

Pierre the Great Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 probly. Todd Bertuzi comes to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toren Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Todd Bertuzzi was effective because he always drew two defenders to the net where they would just lay lumber on his back until the cows came home, which freed up so much room for his teammates, especially on the PP. With the new rules, one defender is casually near him just incase the puck is rebounded. He's gotta learn how to change his gameplan.
