THESE REFS SUCK

Is hockey hard? "I don't know, you tell me. We need to have the strength and power of a football player, the stamina of a marathon runner, and the concentration of a brain surgeon. But we need to put all this together while moving at high speeds on a cold and slippery surface while 5 other guys use clubs to try and kill us, oh yeah did I mention that this whole time we're standing on blades 1/8 of an inch thick?

Heh, I think about 15 years ago, maybe it was 96’? We were playing in Montreal (they still had the video replay IN the actual home arena back then) and somebody fired a slapshot that missed Richter’s glove AND the net. Yet they reviewed the play and called it a goal. MSG team reviewed it and showed the puck completely missing the net, yet it was called a good goal.

Good thing it's an automatic goal on a would-be penalty shot with empty net...

Chances are even with the net empty the puck would roll off the player’s stick trying to take a penalty shot at the empty net. :)
