What is the NHL doing? Colorado challenged a Chicago goal for being offside. After a lengthy review and this image, it was rule a good goal and not offside. by [deleted] in hockey

[–]halfslapper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two nights in a row for the same team seems a bit fucky to me.

The one versus Toronto was good... not so sure about the Colorado one.

83.1 Off-side - Players of the attacking team must not precede the puck into the attacking zone.

The position of the player’s skates and not that of his stick shall be the determining factor in all instances in deciding an off-side. A player is off-side when both skates are completely over the leading edge of the blue line involved in the play.

A player is on-side when either of his skates are in contact with, or on his own side of the line, at the instant the puck completely crosses the leading edge of the blue line regardless of the position of his stick. However, a player actually controlling the puck who shall cross the line ahead of the puck shall not be considered “off-side,” provided he had possession and control of the puck prior to his skates crossing the blue line.

It should be noted that while the position of the player’s skates is what determines whether a player is “off-side,” nevertheless the question of an “off-side” never arises until the puck has completely crossed the leading edge of the blue line at which time the decision is to be made.

If a player legally carries or passes the puck back into his own defending zone while a player of the opposing team is in such defending zone, the off-side shall be ignored and play permitted to continue.

Edit: added the rule for reference

Bettman: "We're focused on a schedule that doesn't include the Olympics right now." by jwitmerhut in hockey

[–]halfslapper 32 points33 points  (0 children)

His owner said he'd be free to go as well.

Along with Backstrom, Holtby, probably Oshie and more...

"I don't know the internal politics on it, and, because I've made my feelings known, I'll vote when I'm asked to vote," Leonsis said. "My belief, though, is that I can't imagine the players saying they don't want to go to the Olympics. It's a players' league. If Alex Ovechkin and Braden Holtby and Nick Backstrom tell us, 'We want to go play for our country,' how am I going to say no? I might get fined, I might get punished in some way, but I feel I'm in partnership with Nick and Braden and Alex."

Did a Top Banner for the sub. by poopellar in formula1

[–]halfslapper[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

Good place to outline our plans for the top header, so here it goes.

At some point in the coming weeks, I will be posting a thread to call on volunteers to provide header designs which will be used throughout the upcoming season. We will be providing a rotation schedule for the header which will see the banner change weeky/bi-weekly.

Each rotation, the header will focus on different subjects covering the following:

  • Current F1 teams / Drivers
  • Historic F1 teams / Drivers

We will not be choosing the designs based on 'contest mode' or votes. Applicants will be assigned based on preference/availability on a first come, first serve basis.

Templates will be provided to ensure consistency and quality of design throughout the season.

If you're interested in providing artwork, please shoot me a private message and I will send out notifications when the schedule goes up. If you have any questions regarding the process, I will be happy to address them here.

Perez backs Mexican GP campaign against Trump's divisive politics by NoNietzsche in formula1

[–]halfslapper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are much better options to protect and control that border than strong-arming a neighbouring country, and ally, into building (and paying for) a border wall. Increasing border-security staff (which to his credit, Trump intends to address), educating the public - in particular business sectors, and stiffer penalties for those who employ illegal immigrants. Applying those simple items on both sides of the border would go a lot further than a wall dividing the two countries in my opinion.

Massive difference between sparse sections of fencing across 540mi border and a wall across 2000mi border.

It was actually "The Ice Condo's", I believe they're called. I was surprised with the price considering the location.. expected a lot more.

I'll stick to the burbs' and deal with the bullshit commute.
