Multiple opponents this season have done this to Gopher players (including knocking Gruba out for pretty much the whole Michigan Tech series) and both times it was only called a two minute penalty. This type of play is called very inconsistently.
Pushing a player from behind like this is a very dangerous play. It has the potential to end a person's ability to ever walk again.
Yes sports/hockey is dangerous, and accidents happen (but this isn't an accident) as a player have some respect for your opponent. After all at some point it could be you on the other end of it.

Just saw this. How many players started yelling at the officials for "missing" offsides? Would've loved to see a coaches challenge there!! haha.

9 game winning streak takes Buffalo from the basement of the Eastern Conference to knocking at playoff contention. Still over half a season to go, but Buffalo is one NHL team that needs a playoff berth for their fans.
I thought the Winter Classic was always on January 1. Strange to schedule it against the first round of the World Juniors medal round.
Future NHL ref in training? I heard his name is Will. Where there is a will there is way.

Weirder to schedule it against the college football playoff.
Cool to have Luongo do the ceremonial puck drop. He had a long career and was always fun to watch. I’ve seen him play some epic playoff games.

Well, once blood leaves the body, you’re correct - it’s now external. 😬 (Not quite sure what you mean though since all blood in the body is technically internal?)

He wasn't coughing it up or anything. I guess his knee his his chin (he folded that hard) and he cut himself.

I guess Markstrom was -7.5 in terms of what he let in vs expected goals against, the worst performance of any goalie ever (since using that metric anyhow) 🤣https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/47535825/new-jersey-devils-lose-9-0-flat-embarrassing-effort
I'd be curious to see what actual results are as a percentage of expected. It seems like every time I see someone reference an expected stat the actual results are nowhere close.

That's called Goals Saved Above Expected. And its tracked for goalies in all the different situations.I'd be curious to see what actual results are as a percentage of expected. It seems like every time I see someone reference an expected stat the actual results are nowhere close.
Right, Ullmark is currently worst in the league with -18.5 over the entire season. Markstrom got nearly halfway there in one game lol (and now is 2 spots above Ullmark).

This is why I hate ANAL-ytics. They have gone too far down the rabbit hole.

It's a bit that KFAN uses for many an infamous quote. Ben Franklin said everything.

Really, dude?
RIP Glenn Hall. NHL goalie, 502 consecutive games started (552 including post season). One of the best to ever play the game.

I am going to say that record is pretty safe. What an incredible streak of talent, stamina, and health.
I can't imagine anyone coming close to that anytime soon/ever again.
Yes, it is a different game now, I don't care, that's incredible.
I don’t think anyone will get to the top five.
Who was Glen Hall's backup? The zamboni driver? It could've ben his neighbor, Joe Sixpack, haha. They probably saved some money and didn't even roster one.
For seven seasons nobody else play a minute in goal for him. That is just staggering to think about. Especially in an era of no helmets and no masks for goalies.
The Bruins are blowing out the Rangers 5-1 in the 2nd period

Miller and Trochek must be saving their energy for the Olympics.
Now the Bruins lead 8-2 in the 3rd they have 2 hat tricks in today’s game

10-2. Khusnutdinov with four goals, Zacha with three, Pastrnak with 6 assists.
For some reason the rangers look really bad with Adam Fox out of the lineup 😆
Ewas just coming to post the same.
