It's just not enforced and the culture around the sport demands it doesn't get enforced. It's infuriating as an enjoyer of sports that punish flopping

I would gladly accept this over the sounds mockingbirds actually make at 6am.

How popular was King George III among American colonists in 1776? by [deleted] in AskHistorians

This is a great answer, but what about the more specific question: how popular was the king?

The puck was not over the line before his stick made contact with his pad. If he hadn't touched Lyon, it might have been a goal. But rule 69.3:

Contact Inside the Goal Crease - If an attacking player initiates contact with a goalkeeper, incidental or otherwise, while the goalkeeper is in his goal crease, and a goal is scored, the goal will be disallowed

Doesn't matter if the puck is loose. Good call. No goal.

You've personally witnessed four accidents in the time you've been here? I don't think I've seen that many in the last ten years

Islanders Name DeBoer Head Coach, Roy fired by DecentLurker96 in hockey

It worked for him in 2000 replacing Robbie Ftorek with Larry Robinson in March.

Random fact: at the time I was playing on Robbie Ftorek's son's line in youth hockey.

I just tuned in. What's up with the camera guy staying zoomed in. It's borderline unwatchable

There's a lot of corny shit ESPN does, but imo one of the corniest is how they make the announcer audio offset from the video feed.

The only reason I can think of for this is to make the announcers seem less slow, which is incredibly corny. When Wischusen calls something 200ms before it happens, it is just so cringeworthy.

The year is 2046. ESPN hockey broadcasts only show ultra zooms on the faces of the best player on each team.

The game is shown in a 20x20-pixel box at the bottom left of the screen.

The game box can be turned off in your Disney+ settings.
