Thread: If we somehow find ourselves in the postseason next year looks different
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bwhsocal</b></div><div>AZ RW are schmaltz, guenther, doan and carcone. Ill put rakell at this moment ahead of the kids but 2 things; rakell has 4 more years and guenther &amp; doan and prolly but will over those years surpass rakell who will be 35yo at the end of contract. second this team is not a rakell away from competing for cup so yes develop the kids. sorry i know PITT wants/needs to shed cap but AZ has really no need for 30+ yo W for 4 years</div></div>

I understand your point of view on this if it is to give ice time to the kids. It’s something I’d like to see the Pens do more of as we move forward. Now I had read that your ownership group wants to make a playoff push next year and I’d assume adding veterans is required. If I’m in your position I’d be using my cap space to get paid to take on contracts. If Rakell’s is too long so be it but I’d look for maybe some shorter term vets, maybe a Dman like Holl who Detroit will need to dump.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>I just showed a video example of examples of the situation and another actually happened this season between Van and PHI where Konecney went after Lafferty for a shot after the whistle

Its a rule amongst the players thats been there for a while and I remember it

Heck even Crosby responded at an attempt

Basically funny though it happened to OTT Karma at its best especially since it was on a EN</div></div>

I saw your video and in almost all of those circumstances I get the response. If you shoot a puck at the goalie after the whistle or at another player that’s totally understandable. I think all of those are considerably worse than what Nico did.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>There is an unwritten rule its not just with Canadian teams

Like putting a puck in after a wistle has been blown does lead to a response

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVJeqhfRZoU&amp;ab_channel=Jens95


Now going back to this particular situation. There are unwritten rules in hockey for various situations and if u break them your gonna see a response such as TOR vs. OTT and NJ vs. OTT

Every sport has these rules. NBA teams in blowout gamed dont go to score final 30 seconds is a classic example


Why when players shoot for the empty net do they not go crazy with its cause they know to be respectful as doing what Greig did was not a hockey play and was gonna get a response. Did Rielly go a bit to far yes but at the same time Greig learned his lesson. He's just lucky it wasnt another more brutish team with Goons. For Hischer he should have known better not to shoot at the net after the whistle as that always gets a response.

But in OTT case Karma's a **** :tearsofjoy</div></div>

I can’t recall ever seeing a player go nuts over something like what Hirschier did. Like I said before the Ridly Grieg thing was goofy and I’m not shocked that ticked off the Leafs but the thing tonight was harmless and not that out of the ordinary.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MoxNix</b></div><div>We don't want anything to do with your cap dump goalie with 4 YEARS left on his contract! Get that through your head. Vladar gets paid a whole lot less, only has one year left and has played well when he gets the opportunity to start more than once in a while. We'll see how he performs next year after finally getting a nagging injury fixed surgically after playing with it for 2 or 3 years. If he's good we extend him if not we don't it's no big deal.</div></div>

So you’d be ok with an AHL goalie and a goalie who’s not proven anything yet in the NHL? Wolf/Vladar might be the worst tandem in the league if that’s the plan. Ask Buffalo how it went when this time last year they were all convinced Devon Levi would walk into the NHL and dominate.
