Either a goal or a save for the breakaway. But you can make a reasonable assumption that if the puck gets centered with Ratcliffe (6'6) against Quennevllie (5'8), Ratcliffe has a high percentage chance of scoring.

The equivalent of this would be saying what would happen if in the NBA, what would happen if Steph Curry (6'3) tried to dunk with Kristaps Porzingis (7'3)? The result can reasonably be concluded that Curry would get blocked.

edit : on Kristaps Porzingis @Mr_Cap

With? Like at the same time on the same net? ... Or over Kristaps?

then someone would get the puck, and then ... i have no idea ... you'd have to try the play to know what would happen ... it's kind of like saying 'a player comes in on a breakaway on a goalie ... what happens next?'


not even remotely close to saying "a player comes in on a breakaway on a goalie". Phillyjabroni is basically saying, What would happen if they were battling for position in front of the net? The answer is that Quennville would get ragdolled


is Ratcliffe stupid? If he isn't then no.

RAIF, for the sake of the contention, we are eliminating factors of penalties. Sure they happen in front of the crease, but they will not happen 10/10 times.

My hypothetical question for you is, is it probable or possible that Isaac Ratcliffe (6'6) contains the puck and scores if in front of the net with David Quennville (5'8) defending him?

it's possible ... it depends who the goalie is, where the each are at the net, how good the shot is, etc.

What are the odds that Quennville out-muscles Ratcliffe in an isolated battle for the puck or for positioning in front of the net?

How the moderators let this go on I have no idea.

So you're saying Someone like Nathan Gerbe should always be able to win puck battles in tight areas against gianst like Chara and Buff?

The very thing that you suggested Quenneville should do is what he lacks ability of doing. Being ignorant of size is a very poor way to analyze one's ability. Size matters in NHL, and in....other areas. Size or weight doesn't matter, why do they measure them at the combine?
