Wyldnwoody44 Posted January 29, 2023 Author Report Posted January 29, 2023 Meh, shootout was blah. I hate deciding hockey games by shootout as much as I hate the penalty kicks in soccer. But at least the NHL scraps it in the postseason. I don't know why we can't do a 10min 5 on 5 and next goal wins or it's a tie. I didn't catch all of the game so I can't comment as much, I found some awesome soup dumplings after the smoked meat so tonight was a festival of eating then soaking in the hotel hot tub. On the the next one, back to the East, time to smoke some fresh baby and pillage all of Raleigh. 2 Quote
Andrew Amerk Posted January 29, 2023 Report Posted January 29, 2023 UPL played a great game. That Dahlin goal at the end of the 2nd counts, and it might have been a very different outcome. 2 3 Quote

Quinn for the second shooter was a curious choice but I don't blame DG for making it. Expand He scored the only SO goal in their only other SO this season & scored a goal tonight. IMHO it was a given he'd get a chance. 1 Quote

Rasmus_ Posted January 29, 2023 Report Posted January 29, 2023 They fought hard and came out 7 of 8 points against a hard road trip. While it's not the ending we wanted, they fought! Good game from the boys. 3 Quote

I would prefer a 45 second 3 on 2 in the offensive zone that alternates until someone wins, like college football. Clearing the puck out of the zone ends the possession. Offensive team gets the puck at the red line to start and defenders have to stay within their own zone. 2 Quote

They finished the 12 game in 20 day marathon at 6-5-1. That said they won only 2 home games over that stretch... losing 3 in a row to PHI, SEA and WPG. If you're serious about about making a playoff push.... Do better. 1 Quote

Thorner Posted January 29, 2023 Report Posted January 29, 2023 (edited) To me 3 on 3 ot, especially now that coaches have got their hands on it, resembles the regular NHL game just as little as the shootout, anyways. Maybe im old fashioned but I don’t mind a tie. Why do I NEED a winner in a regular season game? A tie is also a result. I feel like OT and shootout wins feel cheaper anyways. I know that’s reflected in tie breakers but that’s only a factor if you tie a team. Playoff OT remains awesome Edited January 29, 2023 by Thorny 2 1 Quote
CTJoe Posted January 29, 2023 Report Posted January 29, 2023 To get a point with the tage line not scoring and giving up a 5on5 goal + asshat refs calling the game as they did...got to be happy with the point. I mean, are these referees actually supervised/graded? How can they possibly not be demoted to the AHL after turning in constant homer performances like this. There's no integrity in this game all too often. Quote
Huckleberry Posted January 29, 2023 Report Posted January 29, 2023 Sometimes I do feel that upl for a big guy leaves the top of the net open to much. Quote

Expand I guess it doesn’t bug me because winning in the regular season doesn’t really mean anything in and of itself other than relative to the points it gets you in the standings: it’s one of 82 where total points are the end goal and what determines the winners, or rather who plays on. A tie is a result that gains 1 point in the standings. In the playoffs, obviously only the winner of the head to head matchup matters obviously so you need a winner. Just how I see it, guess it doesn’t bug me. If it’s a good game it’s a good game. Empire Strikes Back kinda ends in a tie Granted it’s only 2 hours 1 Quote
steveoath Posted January 29, 2023 Report Posted January 29, 2023 Coming from euro land and soccer games I hate ties. It encourages teams to play for the draw from the start and makes games about not losing, instead of winning. 1 Quote
