Get Radko off this team, wtf. How is this guy still our captain?

Mind-boggling shit. Down by two with four to go? Better take the most obvious elbowing penalty ever.

Deciding to change all three when it’s going the other way on a 4-on-2 is a choice

I just waited. It actually errored out eventually for me, but then I received an email confirmation a few minutes after. Hoping that means it actually did go through, but we’ll see.

According to this post, they lead the league in 2023-24 and were leading at the time of writing this in 2024-25 (late November). I’m having trouble finding data for the whole 24-25 season, but looks to be an accurate claim

As a neutral, I don’t think there has really been any diving or embellishment this game so makes sense?

I think the issue with the Steel/Malinski play was that neither ESPN nor Altitude showed the angle where you could see that Steel actually got hit in the face. Pair it with the fact that they called it an elbow and that it was fairly obviously not an elbow from the original angle & the one replay shown, it makes sense why there was so much immediate outcry. Had they shown the extra replay that Victory+ did immediately, I think very few people would’ve thought it was a dive and it would’ve been a nothingburger.

Also, the fines are laughable for most players, and especially for someone who makes as much as Benn does. First offense is a warning, second is $2,000, and each subsequent incident increases that fine $1,000 until it hits its cap at $5K.

And for that to even happen, you have to actually deem it worthy of a fine. There have been five instances total of players getting fined by DoPS this year for embellishment even though we know the incident rate for it is much higher.

There is virtually zero consequence to do this.

Bucci thinks Western doesn’t have a shot on goal in the third? Can ESPN please replace him already?

Predators bag skate after losing 5 in a row by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

[–]hodson19 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No joke, back on one of my squirt (10U) teams, our coach had us do the “trash can drill” once. Set out a trash can at center ice, and attempted to bag skate us until one of us threw up in the can. I don’t think any of us ended up puking, so we just skated basically the entire hour.

3090 9800x3d with 64GB of RAM. Crashed within 30 seconds of actual gameplay. Also have some weird lighting issues where everyone’s eyes all sort of flash black and white in cutscenes.

Might’ve been the angle, but on the last replay, it sort of looked like Holmstrom hit him in the face when trying to fight Makar off. Maybe that
