"If the Refs get a rule wrong but it's a stupid rule that shouldn't exist, is it ultimately wrong?" is probably the best of hockey's zen koans.

No. The answer is no.

I think I generally agree with all of you, but I'm not as confident as saying it's "absolutely" a kicking motion. I suppose I'm saying, I could accept an argument the other way.

I guess I'm struggling a bit with the NHL's term of "distinct kicking motion." Is a push of the skate a kick?

Change the rule then. If you don't take your skate off the ice...or you can kick the puck but not in the blue paint (to protect the goalie) or something, but he angles his skate and then moves it to make contact with the puck.  If he doesn't kick it that puck isn't going in the net.

 

[Bullfrog]

Agreed.

It's a stupid rule.

Cole Perfetti made the opening day roster for the Jets.

Still sticking to my guns that he's a bust based entirely off one unimpressive game I watched of his against the Bulldogs.

Seems like a reasonable take.

Gonna be fun to watch this contract play out.

Minor gripe but Sportsnet is still peddling the Chronic Immune Response Syndrome crap regarding Toews.  It's not a real diagnosis..................

Larkin gets a hearing for his retaliatory punch.  Joseph gets nothing for doing this.  Parros is mid-season form.

I have friends who are Flyers fans. This is unkind.

Did Carter Hart just fall off a cliff?

Kind of looks that way.  Funny, it was rumoured that one of the reasons Ron Hextall was let go as GM of the Flyers is because he didn't want to bring Carter Hart up from the minors because he felt that goaltenders need a lot of time to be mentally prepared for the NHL.  Starting to look like he may have been right.

I didn?t realize Kane faked his vaccine status. I thought he was just refusing to get vaccinated. What is wrong with this guy.

Yeah I somehow missed that too.  He could have just said he didn't want to get vaccinated and deal with the consequences.  What a blockhead.

Scumbag should just be barred for the season.
