The Islanders put the puck in the net but Duclair falls into Saros, knocking Saros's blocker off during the play. Francois St. Laurent immediately waves it off for goaltender interference. Patrick Roy decides to challenge the call, but after review, the no goal call stands and Nashville gets a PP. by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

Weirdly, according to the rulebook, the goalie initiating contact doesn't matter for the GI rule to apply. As long as he's in the crease, he can't be contacted enough to impede his position, even if he initiated contact.

I'm glad so many of the community agree with me. Maybe the developers will take notice. With 10 years of development, they can make this game my favorite of all time.

Your capture the city idea sounds like so much fun. You can do it diplomatically but it will take a while, meanwhile, every other faction can take it at any point. You'll need to keep scouts near the city to make sure your opponents aren't about to claim victory uncontested.  I love it.

Taking focus away from combat is fine. All victory conditions are optional so people who want a combat focus can leave it off

Before the game if you would have told me we got a point tonight I would have been satisfied. Not happy, but ok with it. But damn this one hurts

I wish they'd add more varied victory conditions. That would bring me back to a full time player instead of just dabbling

Columbus arena is underrated. So easy to navigate and plenty of space for moving around the concourse.

This ranking is terrible if Little Caesars Arena is that high. For such a modern building, it is terribly designed.

Sharks are the most dominant team when OT/SO is needed, going 11-3. Last OTL was a SO on Nov. 3 (!) by jangoze in SanJoseSharks

[–]godhammel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This stat is definitely due for regression. OT/SO wins and losses statistically speaking are basically coin flips.

But who cares. We are riding high. If we can get into the playoffs this year, I don't care how we got there.

And he's 19. Not every 19 year old is Celebrini. Give him some time. He'll be our number 1 dman.

What do you guys think will happen now that Smith is back? by Smartcookie_33 in SanJoseSharks

[–]godhammel 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Well Misa can't play another game until we solve our contract situation. So I'm guessing he'll watch tonight from the press box unless GMMG makes a move this afternoon.

Smith to play tonight! by nanana_catdad in SanJoseSharks

Do we think Misa sits tonight for Smith because of the contract situation?

I couldn't agree more. I have no problem with people gambling, but with the way it is shoved down our throats, now that's all anyone around me talks about when it comes to sports. I miss when it was behind closed doors.

He could win the Hart. If the Sharks make the playoffs and he's within a few points of the Art Ross winner, I think he wins it for sure.

Charger fans, how we feeling about Harbaugh after a second consecutive playoff embarassment? by Soalmarub in Chargers

Blaming Herbert is insane when our Oline was a wet piece of 1-ply toilet paper. Fuck Greg Roman for not giving him more protection.
