No, that’s not how the rules are per the CBA. Supplemental discipline is at the discretion of the commissioner’s office. That’s why the rulings are not consistent, because there’s no defined line to start from.

Don't fret. The trend is obvious.

Player protection is a priority and eventually the NHL will be a non-contact version of the sport. I'm sure you and your enlightened friends will enjoy the game very much.

Holy hell, you think the only solution is to make the sport non-contact? You’re over here talking about grey areas yet you yourself can’t seem to make an argument that isn’t black and white.

Hitting is part of the game. Hitting people in the head, or from behind into the boards, or at full speed from 90’ away should not be. They’re dangerous plays and that’s why they’re already against the rules. The problem is that penalties within the game are not enough of a deterrent to stop people from doing these things.

Hell, I still cringe every time I hear an announcer complain about a weak call because someone’s stick made contact with an opposing player’s glove. You know why they cracked down on slashing? Because somebody had the the tip of their finger cut off. Was it a freak accident? Sure. Is it preventable? Definitely. That’s the point.

Scheifele has a pretty good record with 237 penalty minutes in 575 career regular-season games, pretty good evidence that he didn't intend anything malicious. Another reason he only got four games.

I think a player’s history should only be relevant in that subsequent disciplinary action would be more severe. First offense should be x amount of games, second offense y amount, and so forth. A player shouldn’t be given leniency for a dirty play just because he’s not a dirty player. A dirty play is a dirty play.

My point was that there is a lot of gray area. The other guy's argument was that it was black and white. 

My use of non-contact was merely to illustrate the one way you could make it less subjective.

Question: Why should a player be allowed to check another player when he doesn't have the puck?

That would generally be ruled interference. Normally, a two-minute penalty.

It is one of those calls that are missed on a not infrequent basis.

That puts it a level beneath crosschecking, which appears to be the NHL's version of traveling.

Cross-checking can often be a two-minute penalty as well. It depends on the severity which is up to referee discretion.

Vicious shots may draw a five-minute penalty, but you'll also see a lot of small cross-checks go unpenalized from game to game.

imo, a cross check should 'never' be allowed, no matter what situation.

The relative strictness that the league's officials call penalties ebbs and flows over time. 

I remember directly after the 04-05 lockout that refs were whistling all manner of obstruction penalties. Half the game was on the power play for one team or the other. Hooking penalties were very popular.

Practically speaking, you could call a boatload of penalties in most games, so they sort of pick and choose the more significant ones. If it erases a clear-cut scoring chance, it is much more likely to get a whistle. It's kind of like holding penalties in American football. Call too many penalties and the game would get tough to watch. Crackdowns, like the one I mentioned, can result in a cleaner game. It's up the NHL each year to set its referee's priorities.

All that said, the current standards are hardly the worst we've seen. The game in the 90s looked like a dance contest by comparison.

Yeah that is what I meant. They never call it until it is extremely egregious.

These two teams are stupid fast.

My club is going to have to stay in front of them and take advantage of their mistakes to win this one.

Big step up from the Leafs and Jets. That's for sure.

    • On my car I got the extended power train warranty. I do read the fine print most of the time. Though at now 37, my eyes aren’t what they were 10 years ago.    The problem with most of these extended warranties on electronics and appliances is you don’t register the warranty with the place you buy the warranty from, which I’ve always found strange. Unless it’s GameStop then you know Alina drops her Switch in the next two years and the screen cracks they’ll replace it. No questions asked.    You buy a slow cooker at Walmart for $50 and the extended warranty is say $6, you have to go through a third party to register your product for the warranty, and it’s pretty damn annoying. Target is the same way. Anything you buy the extended protection on you have to go through a third party.    Why do retailers go through a “broker” for warranties? Because they don’t wanna deal with it? They make me talk to someone from another country, that I can barely understand, when I need my warranty fulfilled.   Sorry for the rant.
    • You may be able to find a regular flex Blueboard on the second hand market. I’m little more than half your age so I swing a shaft that launches pretty low so I don’t have a lot of experience with Regular flex (other than when I try to hit it I miss way to the left).    There are other shafts, such as the newer Ping Alta that I’ve heard good things about. And one that no one talks about. The Jupiter shaft. You can get this shaft for a $100 with a grip and your Ping adapter installed. I was talking to the golf manager at Dick’s Sporting Goods here and he has one in his driver and has nothing but good things to say about it. I thought about getting one for my Paradym Triple Diamond to play it a little shorter, but haven’t pulled the trigger yet.

    • Meanwhile, another old Tour Edge guy switches to Callaway for this season. I have a different problem, course dependent set-ups. What I’m wondering is if @dragonsmhas the 8 iron set 5-PW, AW, GW or just 5-PW, GW. Because the PW is 42°, AW 47°, and GW 52°. Because that could potentially be a gap there. The 5-iron to 6-iron length jump is 5/8” instead of 1/2” so you should be careful of that.    @WUTiger the problem most people have with 3-woods is they don’t play them far enough back into their stance. And they usually don’t have enough loft and the shaft is too long. So 3HL, 4 or 5-wood is probably better for most golfers. I do the “Frankenwood” approach. I have both the 3+ and 5 woods. I typically will either add two degrees to the 3+ on 6600 yards or longer courses, or take a degree off the 5-wood on shorter courses than 6300 or so, and use the 5-wood shaft for both. I don’t usually find a situation where I need both the 3 and 5 wood on a course. I don’t play from 7000 yards it’s no fun. Edit: I mostly agree with @WUTiger on the gapping, although a lot of the newer even fixed hosel fairway woods are made better than what we had when we were playing the old Exotics XRails.
