Kubby31 Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Hey,i say let's keep riding the horse(Halak ),he seems to be proving of as late , that he can help us win games. He's probably gaining more confidence ,by beating the teams that maybe we thought he would have not. Until he faulters,keep him in.Go Halak,GO HABS GOOOOOOO. Halak's looking not to bad there,so far. Made some key saves there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leafs_fan12 Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 I dont understand the closed hand penalty the guy on CBC was talking about, players always grab the puck out of the air and play it to themselves so they have to close their hand on it then- but they never call that? You're not supposed to grab the puck... just kind of bat it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in the same boat. I think it must have something to do with how long you hold on to the puck and/or how to play the puck with your hand. Typically a player will catch the puck and drop it within a few feet of themself which I suppose is possible without 'holding the puck' but you can;t very well throw a puck without holding onto it or 'gloving it. This is just an assumption though because this is just another penalty surrounded by a grey area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but in this case had he flipped it or batted/swat it away, I think that that would have been ok...he closed his hand, caught it, then biffed it over the glass. The instances that you describe, I see, like you, many, many times over whereas the officials use their discretion and give them leeway in that regard.

Dnjscott Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Pretty entertaining period. We had some good chances and fanned a lot. The puck seems like it's bouncing a bit against us. On the other hand, whatever we all think of the Caps' offensive power, they are a very solid defensive team, too. We will have to earn our points tonight. But the boys look a lot more solid than a couple of weeks ago. I like Patches' puckhandling....at times. He and Dags will only get better. Halak is looking sharp tonight.....good for us.

He should have gotten two 2-minute penalties: one for gloving the puck and one for sending the puck over the glass in the defensive zone (delay of game).

SteenIsThaFuture Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 What I want Cheryy to think about is this: Don't blame the talking heads and the journalists, but ask yourself what would happen to hockey if there was no fighting over a long span (5 years) with proper regulations.

I agree with the part he said about no goons, be able to play an NHL shift, but then I'll ask him why does football and rugby not allow a bare-knuckle boxing match that stops the game.

I don't think it was apparent he had closed his hand on the puck until he had thrown it. But I suppose it is fair to say that the penalty was called before the puck left the rink.
