You can't knee or shin the ***** puck into the net!

So I really think we're debating the wrong rule. According to rule 78.5 (i) in the NHL rulebook (h/t Sports Illustrated's Ben Estes), goals will be disallowed "when the puck has been directed, batted or thrown into the net by an attacking player other than with a stick."

Dude. Post and parcel. Are you OK?

Do you really want guys kicking at pucks?

Overpassing shitheads.

I'm not sure the kick rule applies. You can't direct the puck in with any body part.

I was being sarcastic. "Call on the ice" is crap as we just saw.

Nope.

The call on the ice doesn't matter. Stop lying to us about that. Toronto does what it wants.

I know. They won't let us score and stuff.

Why Hammy on the radio?

So is this the dude from last night? All these pbp guys sound the same. Harry Hairspray.

Dumb and Dumber.

Oh that's right. Lou's too old.

Well that deescalated quickly.

Sure. I think it's row to hoe though.

I miss the wtf emojicon.

Very good so far. Gonna have to request that middle names be used tho.

This is inspired by the revamped Better Days video posted by Smell wherein there's a quick montage of Sabre folks over the lyrics "Everyone's forgiven now." Risto Rakru Kane Eichel. Got me to thinking what a cool and totally impossible to pull off event it would be to have our many goats, villains, creeps -- internal and external -- brought onto the ice before a game. Grown men in the stands would be in tears as they phone their parents to admit they stole the cataract surgery money. Babies would be held aloft. Cell phone flashlights would sway to John Lennon. Jay Moran would somberly call out the names, occasionally stopping to compose himself... Gary Allan Bettman Darius Vladimir Kasparaitis John Hinckley Gurtler Kristopher Donald Bazen ... With the announcement of Bradley Lee Park's name a svelte man in a Queen tshirt holding a Turkish coffee would be shown on the video board mouthing the words, "I forgive you." Who else who else?

I gotta say the stick twirl is one of my favorite moments in recent times.

... ?

Everyone... He's not kidding.

OSP: "Not bad. Not bad at all."

I wouldn't. He's demonized for being too harsh on the Sabres. And there's the tank stuff that I thankfully had forgotten, but I was reminded he was rough on a lot of the "fans." Unless you have inside knowledge of MH, your first statement is ludicrous. And even then would be your personal opinion.

You're not going to get me today. I had my farina and I'm all cozy in a rocker recliner watching the snow fall off the branches against a brilliant blue sky. I got a lap full of Werthers, cream soda on the table and Angela Lansbury to pound my pud to.
