No Hockey Fans This Post Season??? (Page 2 of 31)

Bringing this back up for the playoffs.

edit - adding rpic's post from the new topic he started.

edit 2 - I understand that the Black Hawks aren't likely to get very far, which kind of reduces my interest this year.

Hey Amster.....All those post are from last year. Was there a problem with a new NHL topic for this year?

We have one topic for each major sport. Since I knew that there was a hockey topic I added your post to the existing one. It wasn't as if you posted anything that would merit a separate topic, was it?  No offense intended, just keeping things tidy.

I understand from Cathy that the Caps-Bruins game was so thrilling that she stayed tuned till the climax in double overtime. That's saying something because normally she wouldn't be watching at all.

Do 'game misconducts' mean you're excluded from the remainder of the game? Does it also entail any subsequent suspension or punishment?

You know I'm with you, Bill.

Go Hawks!

George,
Game misconduct does indeed mean you're ejected for the remainder of the game. They also have a 10 minute misconduct, which is self explanatory.
I'm pretty sure the misconducts I saw in the Rangers game were the full game misconducts. Those usually result in fines.

Ok, on the same theme, after the ridiculous scenes tonight during Pitts-Phil - what's the point of a 10 min penalty when there are only five mins left? Does the time carry over to the next game? Do all those expelled tonight - how many were?? - miss the next game, or can they all play? In soccer, a red card, or expulsion, automatically means you miss at least the next game, if not more than one.

Glad that the Flyers won, the Penguins seemed to me, as an entirely impartial viewer, more to blame for things going off. To be fair, I only saw the last two periods after being told about the mass brawls in the first period.

No carry over to the next game. If you receive a 10 minute penalty with 5 seconds left, you serve 5 seconds. Egregious penalties typically result in suspension for a game or two. The Blackhawks Duncan Keith was suspended for 5 games near the end of the regular season for elbowing Daniel Sedin. I was enormously surprised when Nashville's Shea Weber received no suspension after he grabbed a Detroit players head and slammed it into the glass. Very inconsistent enforcement IMO, although they are usually stricter on repeat offenders.
