The all time stupidest penalty is puck over glass. They need to get rid of it, once and for all. Too many men is providing an unearned advantage. The other is just dumb.

we are currently experiencing a snow event. appears to be sticking to the grass. i think they forecast a dusting to 1-2 inches, to cover all of their bases.

Might need to widen that circle. This is a language lover kind of place.

the lack of intellectual curiosity at FR these days is breath-taking, is it not? as well as the hubris of those popping up on a thread to insult the denizens thereof for no reason. i suggest that you choose the word “THE” tomorrow, bc it’s ever so much more useful ; )

It’s delay of game. Intentionally tossing the puck out of play. That’s the idea.

Yeah, I said to our department admin that I could live with every winter day like this. It’s sort of snowing a bit, but not sticking to any paved surfaces. It’s above freezing. Might have to brush the car off, but no real harm.

it should be a penalty bc while it’s not always used as a delaying tactic, it certainly could be. they are often looking for every little bit of breathing room that they can get when they are stuck out on a shift.

Or maybe “is”? Because that was a thing, back in the day.

But it is not done intentionally. They are always horrified to get that call. Just call it delay of game and face-off at center ice. Done.

no matter what she wears, she is broad in the beam and looks ungainly.

I agree. It needs to be a violation and we can’t have refs trying to determine volition.

If you want to argue for “decriminalization” of the offense, it would need to be treated like icing. Same idea. It’s a foul caused by excessive zeal in wanting to clear the puck. Faceoff in your zone, no substitution of players.
