4 is pretty broad.

I'd rather see a crackdown on embellishment.

Wow, did not think these penalties were an issue.

You call it embellishment, the NHL calls it parity 

[King Heffy]

Not bad rules, but the league really does need to bring in an automatic 5 and a game for embellishment, with suspensions for repeat offenders and refs who fail to call it.

NHL calls it parity, Oilers call it foundational.

Pouty McDiver approves of this message!

How about actually suspending players...For you know, Shit like this...?

I was hoping they’d institute a new penalty for crying…

Don't like rule 3 much. It's too easy to have the net come off if you have to hug the post on those tight angle shots.

 

Seem to recall this being an issue for Demmer.

Douche move. And some posters on here wonder why we hated on that slag team and it's kneepad media.

"Ratified"?

 

Does that mean they had to consult Brad Marchand?

I think it’s ok though. It’s not like it’s a penalty. Makes sense that if it’s your fault you get punished for it. Just prevents a player or a goalie doing it ‘accidentally on purpose’ to get a whistle for a change if they are tired.

Yep, the underlying purpose is good.

 

It's just that the posts are made so easy to dislodge for player safety, that I wonder how often a team (especially ours, given how often it seems Demko does this) will get hit with it in cases when it truly is accidental.

 

Assumes that it is generally an accident when it happens with Demko. If it is deliberate more often than not, then he needs to watch out.

I think it's fine

 

The whistle needs to be blown down on this anyways. The defending team just can't change and the offensive team gets to choose the side

 

No penalty is called

And not having the chance to change can be important.

 

Odds are, it evens out and is not a big deal. If only it wasn't so easy to have happen.

 

If it is done deliberately, it's a penalty. If it's an accident, it's an accident and there shouldn't be consequences. But maybe this really is a good idea... I guess this will help cut down on "accidents"
