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? ;)

    • Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Studio MDHR has been rather silent about its next major gaming project since the release of Cuphead back in 2017. However, that ended today during the Summer Game Fest presentation, with the studio revealing not one but two project announcements. First, the studio confirmed that it is currently in the middle of developing a brand-new Cuphead game, bringing back the iconic characters for another adventure. Just like the last game, this is slated to be a fully hand-animated endeavor. This also means there isn't a release date attached to it yet. “Craftsmanship is at the heart of everything we do here at Studio MDHR,” says co-founder Chad Moldenhauer. “When it came time to peel back the curtain and share a little bit about what we’ve been up to, we couldn’t imagine a more fun way to do so than with today’s Special Bulletin. The studio is working on this new Cuphead with help from Toronto’s Stop Motion Department and Continue Agency. At the same time, Studio MDHR also revealed that another part of the team has been working on a different Cuphead installment. Dubbed the Mighty Cuphead Adventure, this is taking a different art direction to the original. "In true Studio MDHR fashion, this game goes beyond just taking inspiration from the classics of the 1980s… it is actually built with technology of the era," the studio explained. "That's right: Mighty Cuphead Adventure is programmed in assembly language and designed with the exacting specifications of the Sega Master System home gaming console in mind." Aside from releasing on PC and modern consoles, Mighty Cuphead Adventure will even be playable on the 1985-released Sega Master System. A release date has not been announced just yet.

      Any decent ITSM will A) have a web form that allows a user to raise a ticket, if you're writing an email you can write a ticket. B) Monitor a mailbox and auto-generate tickets based on inbound mails for those users that really can't get their heads around the concept that if you have an issue you go to support.mycompany.com and fill in the box. From your description you're having users email the desk, and then having a human read each one and manually raise a ticket on behalf of the user.
