I get lambert loves college hockey but the NCAA is only a notch below FIFA/IOC as far as “we’re an overtly corrupt organization that reaps immeasurable wealth from the labour of athletes with little/no compensation for said athletes.

Every player can then choose to either go to the AHL on a pro contract or make NIL in college.

I think this is a compromise that everyone can live with.

Interesting. They didn’t show that angle on the broadcast. From the side it looked like his foot was outside the crease for a significant amount of time before the puck showed up.

I said last night it was a dumb challenge because there was no way it would be overturned but that it shouldn’t have been waved off to begin with.

LAK would have challenged and they would have been looking at the iPad for 30 mins so maybe it’s for the best.

I can’t find a highlight but iirc it was:

Vilardi’s skate goes in the crease

Kuemper and Vilardi make contact

Vilardi’s skate leaves the crease

Vilardi gets pushed into Kuemper but doesn’t go in the crease

Puck arrives

It was super borderline but the difference maker was it was ruled no goal on the ice and it’s a tougher ask to overturn a call on a 50/50 play than not. Had they called it a goal then LA challenged it probably would have been one of those annoying 15 minute reviews.

I’ve been banging this drum for a while.

Every player with more than 1200 points except for Nicholls and Damphousse are in the hall.

Mark Scheifele has 6 years left on his contract. He needs to average 82 points/year to get to *1300* by the end of his contract.

1200 seems to be a lock.

I thought Vilardi went in then left again after making incidental contact. What is the statute of limitations on entering and exiting the crease?

I thought there was 0% chance it would be overturned but I didn’t think it should have been called in the first place.

Had it been no call I assume the Kings would have challenged which would have been interesting.

The war on Christmas will not cease until it ends its illegal occupation of November.

I will tolerate it in stores after Remembrance Day but the decorations don’t go up until Dec 1 at my house.

In the sense that the Leafs ruin everything?
