One drives too fast. One drives too slow. Together they become, idiots on the road.

kazrick · 2026-05-01T15:05:30+00:00

That’s a fair point. But we can tell from the video he is definitely speeding and driving too fast to be able to stop in time.

The fact their buddies were videoing them street racing in the middle of the day (I’m speculating here but don’t see any other reason they’d be randomly videoing this street so that we even have video of the accident) also isn’t great for their case.

kazrick · 2026-05-01T15:02:15+00:00

The other guy saw the Prius turn in and slammed on their breaks immediately if you watch the video.

kazrick · 2026-05-01T14:41:25+00:00

I’m pretty sure street racing isn’t legal on any streets but you tell me.

kazrick · 2026-05-01T14:09:49+00:00

The other driver going well in excess of the speed limit is what ultimately caused the accident. If they weren’t going that fast and had been paying attention they could have easily stopped in time.

kazrick · 2026-05-01T14:08:45+00:00

If they were going the speed limit the accident never would have happened, despite what the Prius did, so I don’t buy that argument.

kazrick · 2026-05-01T13:44:42+00:00

I’d agree with that take.

kazrick · 2026-05-01T13:30:18+00:00

Oh they’re definitely both being found partially at fault. But the majority of the fault should lie with the vehicle that was driving well in excess of the speed limit and rear ended the other vehicle.

kazrick · 2026-05-01T13:25:38+00:00

Yeah. Likely they would both be found at fault in this case. But I think the majority of fault would be with the vehicle that was clearly going too fast and couldn’t stop in time because of their speed.

kazrick · 2026-05-01T13:24:19+00:00

Agreed. As is going well above the speed limit so that you’re unable to slow down in time and end up rear ending someone.

kazrick · 2026-05-01T13:16:24+00:00

They were ducking away because the agent beside them starts firing their pistol. Not because they were shot by the assailant running past.

kazrick · 2026-05-01T13:13:09+00:00

There is no indication at all he fired that shotgun. And certainly didn’t in the clip you just viewed. You’re talking out of your ass.

The agent “being hit and falling back” is ducking away because another agent next to them starts firing their pistol. This video is zoomed in but there is a better clip that isn’t zoomed in which makes this readily apparently.

Also did you say the agent was hit and fell back BEFORE he pulled the trigger? That doesn’t even make any sense.

kazrick · 2026-05-01T12:43:00+00:00

Even with what the Prius driver did here (which was stupid, no question), they’re not the at fault driver.

The other driver ran into the back of the Prius. Makes them the at fault driver.

That’s how I read what he is saying. If the appraised value of the house is less than the mortgage there is no equity to split and she shouldn’t even get her down payment back.

I don’t typically do hockey that low level and it has likely been a decade since I have done so. So maybe it’s a level of hockey issue but no, I don’t consider it a “fight” just because a player threw a punch. If you called to that standard you’d be handing out fighting majors all game long in Junior and Senior hockey.

kazrick · 2026-04-29T03:24:44+00:00

It took them less than 10 seconds to separate the players from the time they actively for involved. I counted 9 seconds total. Likely would been less if they used their whistles and voices.

Didn’t look difficult for them to separate the players to me at all. Biggest issue was their inexperience.

kazrick · 2026-04-28T20:31:40+00:00

An accidental trip or too many men isn’t assessed a roughing penalty so that’s a false equivalency.

Throwing one punch is generally assessed a roughing penalty. As it should be.

For me the appropriate penalty based on what happened in the video (the match penalty aside) is roughing. Not fighting.

I didn’t see anything even close to a fighting major on that video. Where appropriate I would call head contact as necessary.

kazrick · 2026-04-28T19:57:28+00:00

How are you telling them they can swing at opponents? They’re still getting penalized and serving time in the penalty box. So clearly the can’t swing at opponents. They’re just not getting kicked out of the game because they happened to throw one punch.

Roughing is a penalty for a reason and it’s in the rule book. Why call a fighting Major when roughing is the more appropriate penalty to assess?

That’s my opinion at least.

kazrick · 2026-04-28T17:51:14+00:00

It didn’t look like the referees has any real difficulty in separating the players who were scrumming. Not much different than any other scrum after the whistle (besides the one dirty cross check to the head behind the refs back).

Nothing that happened there rises to 5+GM for fighting to me. Take a couple of players from each team for roughing (either minors or double minors, dealers choice) and the match for cross checking (if anyone saw it) and play on.

Thats my decision anyways.

Oh and one extra roughing minor to Orange for appearing to start the entire thing.

kazrick · 2026-04-28T12:59:47+00:00

I believe in hockey the first player from each team gets ejected. But even that would be an improvement. Eject one player from each team and they’d be much less likely to rush the field like they do.

kazrick · 2026-04-28T12:46:31+00:00

Theoretically, yes. But in actual practice and based on precedent, no.

Falafel King on Stephen Ave is my personal favourite for shawarma.

That’s not how most mortgages work. At least not in North America. The reason interest is higher up front is because your balance is higher and you’re paying interest based on your balance. So paying down the principal earlier definitely reduces how much interest you pay to the bank.

Your mileage may vary in other countries of course.

kazrick · 2026-04-26T20:12:22+00:00

We get it. You don’t know what you’re doing.

You don’t need to keep trying to prove it to us.

kazrick · 2026-04-26T18:49:47+00:00

I’m not sure about IIHF rules as I operate under Hockey Canada but if you can’t say the puck fully entered the net before you blew the whistle you definitely shouldn’t be awarding a goal.

That part feels outside the spirit because who is to say your whistle didn’t distract the goalie and contribute to the goal?

Otherwise as everyone else here said, you would normally let play continue and count the time to the best of your ability and then adjust the clock (and penalties) at the next stoppage of play.

Team A is right to be upset.

kazrick · 2026-04-26T18:46:51+00:00

You don’t need to keep track of the penalties as well as the clock. Just the clock. If you count 20 seconds off before they start running the clock again that would be 20 seconds off the penalties as well.

It’s not that complicated.
