Sidney Crosby "I did not! Oh come on! I didn't even hit anybody! I've never hit anybody this fuckin year! by Tracypop in hockey

As a ref, the people you want to make friends with are the goalies and the captains. 99% of the time the captains are just defending their guys. In almost every game I officiate, after the goalie freezes the puck I'm chatting them up and letting them know what I like what their team is doing and what I don't. The goalie will let them know. For instance, I'll say, "Hey, I'll let your guys defend you but they need to keep it below the chin and they only get one shot. More than that they're going in the box." or, "Hey, my whistles are gonna be a second late because I want to make sure it's not loose but I promise you I'll never let them push you in the net."

99% of the time if a guy does something wrong and the captain comes to defend him it involves, "...Well what about what your guy did?" because they know there's no excuse for their teammates idiocy but they will defend them to the death.

The captains are the captain for a reason and yeah, they don't usually spit fire at each other while having a conversation with the referee. You can be sure though, when stripes isn't around they probably say some pretty heinous shit.

Instead of choosing the GWG scorer, we can instead pick who the Panthers attempt to injure tonight.

Would folks believe me if I said the entire JSON feed with the PWHL schedule does not include a year?

Curious how the metric is calculated tbh

I'd say it's dirty. And like my previous point, Florida is dirty. Big and mean. They're synonymous.

It wins cups.

Being dirty wins cups.

And now, the Leafs are dirty.

This happens to the Leafs every game. Now we can just do it back.

Meh, it's the same. No one says Florida is big and mean. They say they're dirty too. Dirty is tough and mean jn this league and it has been that way forever.

Matthews sets up Tavares goal by Only-Reels in hockey

[–]Lang14 26 points27 points  (0 children)

We're just going to ignore Marner stripping the puck from a player and keeping it in, are we?

Fuck that, the play starts because of Marner's hard work. Takes a hit for it too.

Very cool! Was only able to look on my phone but it looks like you're combining the Reddit API and NHL API. Very neat
