You know you're offsides  in the offensive zone, usually you're the lone forechecker and never tagged up, and just touch it on purpose

It's never called.

That was a big shot block by Ristolainen near the left dot.

No, you're right.  Maybe it's too early for Rob.  He may need a few pops before a game and the afternoon games don't allow that.

I think various "line" infractions should be treated uniformly, which is why I hate that you can challenge offsides but they're so lax on hitting the red line for icings. 

Teams deliberately ice the puck when under pressure, knowing what they're doing, and also do it when they miss a pass on accident, and the icings aren't treated differently. And that's more relevant/important to gameplay than a play that's already offsides.

I absolutely hate Housley's insistence on off balance wristers from the corners on the point. That works, what? 1/100 times? There has to be some other better option. Either send it down low or across to your partner

I like that Skinner, Sheary, Pommers really want to get to the front of the net. All guys that came in from outside of the organization (with the obvious caveat for Pominville)

There's evidence to suggest that he really wants this to be a staple of their game unfortunately

Oh 100% he does. It's been obvious for awhile, I just figured at some point he'd learn. Unfortunately if I've learned one thing about Housley it's that he's a slow learner, if he does at all

I think @dudacek was onto something with Kyle. He's more useful down low using his shoulders for guys like Casey who have less strength right now than he is up above the net in a place you need playmaking and good/quick shooting to happen. That's why the 71-37-21 line has worked in their very brief time together.
