All-Purpose Hockey Thread II

Back to taking penalties on purpose in a shorthanded situation in the final 2 minutes of OT:

OK, I'm waaaay to interested in this subject, so I checked the NHL rulebook. The situation you reference appears to fall under Rule 74-4.

I don't see anything, though, about taking a normal on-ice minor penalty (hook, hold, trip, etc.).

 

I would assume that's the way they would interpret it: insufficient time to penalize a team for an infraction that would reduce them in manpower = penalty shot.
Just a guess though

 

That makes total sense. I'm just not seeing that ANYWHERE in the rulebook.

 

About the OT.

When a team is already down a man in overtime and takes a second penalty, the power-play unit would get a 5th skater. When the first penalty would expire and play is still going on, the skater can come out of the penalty box to make it a 5-on-4.

Teams do not get an automatic penalty-shot other than the old rule posted earlier and the common infractions like a goalie throwing his stick or a player being hauled down. If a player is hauled down or a stick thrown with an open net, shooter is awarded a goal.

 

This is pretty funny.

 

Jaime Aron of the AP would like to respectfully disagree with you, Sam.

 

That was from last year but I can't remember who did it and for what? Chelios is pretty cool in it

 

I can't believe Glen Sather and Co. are this stupid. Oh wait, yes, I can.

Somewhere, Sportschick is laughing.

 

The roller-coaster ride continues. I still think they stay, but I'm beginning to waver.

 

Sawyer was not happy with Rendell trying to say Barden deserved some of the parking and development revenues. The fact Rendell opened his fat mouth and started the public negotiations, you can bet the Penguins will begin to leak more and more like the Barden fiasco.

Burkle can ruin Rendell, Onorato and Ravenstahl by just saying those magic words to his accountant. Election campaign losses for Onorato and Ravenstahl would severely hurt Rendell's already weak standing in Western PA and Allegheny County. There's no way Rendell would dare to put his political future on the line for Pittsburgh and Penguins.

The arena deal will get done and Don Barden's weasel attempts will get exposed, especially since he was in bed with DeWeese.
