Check your NHL Rule Book there BroChaos...

Source : Official National Hockey League Referee's Manual (1999-2000 Season)

<Edit : Off that rule doesn't mention a defending player's ability to score against their own net. Though with all the rules I suppose many things are covered under many rules. >

Cara, I am sure this will be taken as anti Red Wings, but the rule you quote pretty much makes the case for that not being a goal. There is no way that the puck was more than 50% accross the line and rebounded OUT! I don't think it would be physically possible for the puck to hit the inside of the post and rebound out while being 50% accross the goal line. Unless of course he had a wicked backspin going on the puck!

My two cents. At any rate, the Ducks cannot continue to give up 60 shots a game a win their series. They better find some defense quick. A few of the shots the Ducks goalie took last night looked as though they would need to be surgically removed from his chest. If that continues it will only be a matter of time and the Wings will soften him up.

m0fo, ace135cc and Ji@nBing I thought the game was pretty good! Sorry, I would feel the same you all do if I was on the opposite side of the score. What did you think about some of the calls last night? Ref's need to let the guys play a little. I thought both sides had some really bad calls go against them. Personally, I don't know how you could call interference against Bure when he had nowhere to skate when he was going through the crease. Also, I forget who on your side got called for cross checking Tkuchuk but that was a pathetic call. This is hockey, not basketball! There is going to be a little contact, it is part of the game. I fully expect Tkuchuk to get clobbered nightly when he parks in front of the goal. For that matter I'm sure he expects it as well.

I really think that hurt you guys last night since you have a very physical team. I still think it is going to be a tough series.

THERE IS NO 50%+ RULE, THE PUCK MUST CROSS THE LINE COMPLETELY, GET AN UPDATED RULE BOOK!

:rolleyes: yeah, what year is that book from? the 70's? btw, none of the 6 goals against vancouver should have counted either. they hit the mesh at the back when they went in :whistle:

yeah.. some of the calls were horrible....

but i have to disagree with you on the call against bure.. although he didnt' have anywhere to go, he did give our goalie a little cheap shot (elbow to the back of the head) and the call against jovo (crosscheck on tkuchuk) was also a good call... he gave him an extra shot when it was not needed and pushed him to the ground... however, all those lame too many men on the ice calls and roughing calls ****ed me off and also how naslund got 2 hooking/tripping calls that took us off the PP just in the 1st period... i think he deserved one of those but not both...

there were just way too many penalties called though... marouelli and dean warren should just shove those whistles up their a**es and let them play damnit

it was a good game in detroit, i missed the first half of the first period, but from what i saw, it was a really good game, and the ducks just had the better shot getting it in the net...

can't say much about the blues/canucks game since it wasn't show here. :cry:

If a team is going to win or lose in the playoffs, let it be up to the team, not the refs. This is not their show. I feel the same way as you do, they need to put the whistles "somewhere" and let the guys play.

Got a reply back from Buccigross...

No,? you aren't going crazy.? According to NHL Rules the "Inside Post" call was a perfectly valid and applicable rule up until this season.? It was abolished after several calls had been made by on-ice officials which were disagreed with upon later review by the NHL Commission.

So no, the rule is correct and accurate as you quoted in your email but I'm afraid that for this playoff season, despite what the fans and commentators might feel about it, the rule no longer stands.

That is the on topic part, so the rule stood until the beginning of the season. Figure:p :p Just like Brett Hull's goal on Hasek the year the Stars 'won' the cu:p :p

Good news is it looks like I'm getting an ESPN TeeShirt out of this deal for sending in an intresting questio;) ;) I deserve it after putting up with some of you guys her;) ;)

PS: Anyone else see a typo in his letter or is it just me?

well i'm glad to hear that rule isn't enforced anymore. i have no idea how it ever even got created? is it just me, or does it seem totally insane to have it? it would never be easily enforcable, and it contricts the original goal rule. however, he seems to imply that fans and commentators were in favor of it.....oh well, i guess it's just me :p

thanks for clearing things up though, and that's cool that you got a reply. :)

hehe, putting up with us? ;)

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
