Riopel and Brown were the only two cats that had a really good game. Marquardt tried to throw one hit and then went back to sleep for the rest of the game. I do not know why Flynn had Marquardt out during the overtime. He was not skating fast enough for 4 on 4 and keeps getting caught down ice while odd man rushes go the other way. Still it was an entertaining game to the end considering the cats should have been out of it in the first. Well, kinda hard not to play him when he is by far your best scorer. |

- If the league kept stats on delay of game penalties I'm pretty sure Mark Barberio would be the leader. But I'm not pointing any fingers at him because I think that is one of the dumbest rules ever put into the game, it's clearly not intentional 90% of the time. I disagree... I think it was intentional more than we realized... before the rule, I was ducking pucks on a regular basis... think of how many times you looked over into the crowd to see if anyone got hurt. Now, some games go by where it seems there is hardly a puck fired into the crowd. By putting that penalty call there, guys are making an effort to keep the puck in play which keeps the flow of the game going. Ideally, the call would be a judgement call by the ref where he could rule it out if he felt it were accidental... but putting that kind of decision making in the refs hands is just asking for trouble. |

What was wrong with Boyle last night? That's the worse I've seen a defensemen play in a long time. Just an off night but I'm wondering if he was sick or injured or something because boy he was terrible! I'm glad somebody else noticed.....wtf was Flynn doing anyways...he kept matching up lines with Boyle and Barberio being out there every shift that Perrault's line would play  ...they're lucky that line didn't score at least 4-5 goals(they could've easily).They'd just keep rushing down Boyle's side and he was screwed...I'm sure he got burned at lleast five times including one time where he just fell flat on his ass. I can't imagine how a guy like Flynn who coached NHL could be so clueless |

Hey does anyone know if Gomes knows how to take a decent shot from the point???
I know he has the hardest and most accurate wrist shot in the league. But come on. I think the only time he lets a decent shot go is on the PP or the odd time from his own end. The pre-game warm up doesn't count.

When I was watching the gome on tv, you could see how pissed Barbario was that he got the delay of game penalty. He was banging his head on the boards of the penalty box. Pretty funny actually.

I meant that it's clearly not intentional 90% of the time now, not before. If they want to punish a team for shooting the puck into the crowd then just make it like icings in the NHL where you can't change lines. I've noticed a lot of intentional icings in Q games this year and that certainly doesn't help the flow of the game so should that be a penalty too? You will never convince me that shooting the puck into the crowd resulting in a penalty is a good rule. Real amazing that the Eastern Conference Final in 2006 was decided on a PP goal after a Sabres player accidentally shot the puck in the crowd |

They had that rule in place for years for the goalies and nobody seems to mind that rule. When the rule was put in for goalies, it was to prevent them from intentionally putting the puck out of play and it's an automatic penalty so that it doesn't become a judgement call for the refs. I know that the defenseman play the puck off the glass more than the goalies, but I like the rule because it prevents a player from putting the puck over the glass to relieve pressure and get a faceoff. I know they are not all intentional, but how would you judge whether something like that is intentional or not.
If you watch games from the 80's, the glass was alot lower than it was today and the puck didn't go over the glass as much as it did before they put this rule in place. When my team was putting the pressure on in the offensive zone, I used to hate when the other team shot the puck over the glass just so they can get a faceoff. Even if the rule is change to a defensive zone faceoff where they can't make line changes, it still wouldn't be enough of a deterrent to keep players from doing something like that to take the pressure off, especially late in a game.

Yeah I have to agree that the rule has been good for the game, it was too easy for the defensive team to shoot the puck into the stands and relieve the pressure, get a line change and have no negative result in doing so..........some things should be left the way they are, but this was a good evolution in the rules. |

Agree 100%. Plus, I'd rather have young d-men coming up learning how to make a pass instead of always putting it off the glass. |
