That was the one example of why I want Kane on his line.

I'll take Delauries for a $1000 Alex.

...and then there's Pierre McGuire....

 

 

Watching Pens/Caps with Emrick/McGuire calling the game.  I can't listen to McGuire anymore without picturing Leggio doing an impersonation of him.  :D

You know what the video needs at the end? "Oh, and the Pens Score! What a great play by Crosby there, he was on the bench but clearly had a large part in that goal."

Ha! That would be perfect.

You see that a lot. Sometimes I think it's an optical illusion where on TV it looks like they're a stride away but in reality the distance might be so great the backchecker knows he's not getting there and might let up. It's no excuse. There might be a rebound or something and he'd want to be down the ice as quickly as possible. Hockey's a very tough sport to analyze while watching on TV.

It's still no goal.

I can't wrap my head around wanting to allow kicked-in goals. It's not hockey anymore, and it's dangerous.

 

I would be more clear on how I said that.  Kicking should only account if the foot is barely off the ice.  Clearly don't want someone raising a skate up too high there.  But on a play like the Foligno play.. that should be a goal all day long.  There is a desire to increase scoring.. let it happen.

Not sure any Buffalo fan wants to encourage more skate blades flying around (Malarchuk, Zednick).
