On the subject of broken sticks, I recall watching a game recently where the goalie's stick was snapped in half and the goalie continued to use the lower half of his stick. I had wondered why the goalie wasn't penalized as he had played with it for a number of minutes in plain view of the officials but I guess it's not against the rules. If broken sticks are a safety hazard then I would think a goalie's use of one would be even more so with players converging and crashing the net.


gumby posted this above:
10.3 Broken Stick – Player - A broken stick is one which, in the opinion of the Referee, is unfit for normal play.

A player without a stick may participate in the game. A player whose stick is broken may participate in the game provided he drops the broken stick. A minor penalty shall be imposed for an infraction of this rule.

i would think that the refs should have called a penalty on the goalie. unless a goalie isn't considered a "player"...

[Bouncing Bettys]

well I managed to find the rule on broken sticks for goalies

10.4 Broken Stick – Goalkeeper - A goalkeeper may continue to play with a broken stick until a stoppage of play or until he has one legally handed to him by a teammate.

I`m not sure why they would allow that though

[seakrait]

well I managed to find the rule on broken sticks for goalies



I`m not sure why they would allow that though

huh. weird. i suppose they think that the goalie should have as much chance as possible to stop the puck from crossing the line, even if it is with broken equipment. interesting.

[spoon.ek9]

and kessel just scored his 27th, still ahead of ovechkin in goals this season

maybe kessel being picked last is the equivalent of samuelsson being snubbed for the olympics

[Ronin]

Brashear did the right thing. That goalie took a really dangerous slash since the back of the leg has very little protection and he did a two-hander. A bit more and you might have Ohlund on Mikko Koivu-type damage. I bet it's real easy to make a dirty play when you have 100 pounds of armor protecting you from 100MPH pucks.

They've been looking absolutely terrible in their last dozen games.

I sure damn hope they find their scoring touch in the next while in time for the playoffs... because they're not going to last very long playing like this. Many other teams are now starting to get hot, but the Canucks are going the other direction... not cool.

i was thinking the exact same thing......

[dL]

Being the best team in the league, everybody will analyze you and play you hard every game. Everybody wants to bring you down. That's why nobody will always be the best as there will always be competition.

Also, as we approach the end of the season, most teams are trying their hardest to win every game as every point counts towards securing a spot in the playoff.

We just need to refocus, and perhaps be more creative and innovative with our plays so that we can stay better and stay ahead of other teams.

Just look at Philly... still haven't gotten more points than we do.

W, L, W, L is better than L, L, L, L. Can't win them all.

But I will whine if they lose many in a row. :troll:

Then all the more reason to pad your stats and finish on top. Means, that every series match up, Canucks will be facing the lowest seed possible; more home games per series.

If one is looking to idealize one's playoff situation, seems counter-intuitive not to finish as high as possible. A tougher road in the playoffs = more likely for injuries "during" the playoffs no?

Yea, but the problem is 4th-10th teams in the West are getting almost the same points. That makes the Canucks indifferent between those teams as they don't even know what the playoff picture will look like.

You're not going to get a healthy & full bench. Considering the team is only $950 under the cap, this is the best the team gets no?

FLAMES' IGINLA CLOSES IN ON HISTORIC 10TH SEASON OF 30 GOALS

http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=356500#YourCallTop

CALGARY -- Of all the career milestones Jarome Iginla has reached and will reach in his hockey career, his first 30-goal season remains stamped in his memory.

He was 23 and had come agonizingly close to that mark his previous two season at 28 and 29 goals respectively.

With four games to go in the regular season on April 7, 2001, Iginla made sure he didn't fall short again and scored twice in Chicago to reach No. 30. He scored another goal for good measure his next game at home against Phoenix.

"I was really excited to get 30 the first time," Iginla recalled Friday. "I can remember the goal from my first 30. I'm pretty sure it was a backhand from (Marc) Savard to get my first 30. I was on the left post in Chicago anyway."

The Flames captain scored at least 30 every season after that and was on the verge of doing it again Friday, which puts him in select company. Only nine other NHL players in history have compiled 10 seasons of at least 30 goals.

"I'd be lying if I said I didn't think that was kind of neat," Iginla said. "It's something when I started I couldn't have imagined. It goes so fast. It's not something I've been thinking about, trying to get there."

Mike Gartner, Jaromir Jagr, Gordie Howe, Marcel Dionne, Wayne Gretzky, Bobby Hull, Phil Esposito, Brett Hull and Mats Sundin are the others who scored 300 or more goals over 10 seasons. Gartner has the record for the most 30-goal seasons at 17. Gartner and Jagr jointly own the record for most consecutive seasons at 15.

All those men are in the Hockey Hall of Fame except Jagr, who is a shoo-in to join them in the future. At 33, Iginla is building an impressive body of work that will also garner the Hall's consideration, but what's intriguing about Iginla's numbers is that the right-winger's career is far from finished.

Heading into Friday's game against Columbus, Iginla was two away from a season 30, needed six goals to crack the NHL's all-time top 50 scorers and was 16 points from a career 1,000, all as a Calgary Flame.

The Edmonton native has a pair of 50-goal seasons on his resume, but in arguing which statistic carries more weight, scoring at a minimum of 30 goals in 10 straight seasons is a mark of durability and consistency few players claim.

Iginla is a powerful skater who relishes physical contact and possesses a lethal one-timer.

"He's a great physical athlete. That's been a key to his success," linemate Alex Tanguay said. "He's so gifted physically. He skates well. We all know about the skill level he has, but to be able to be successful year after year shows the type of athlete he is. It's certainly fun to watch."

Iginla has weathered his share of scoring droughts and dry spells, plus the inevitable questions and trade-rumours that accompany them.

One distressing period for him was last season's conclusion, when Iginla scored just five goals in his last 18 games after the Olympic Games, including none in his final 11 as the Flames missed the playoffs. Another stretch was one goal in 11 games early this season.

But Iginla always seems to find his groove again, including a recent run of five goals and five assists in eight games heading into Friday's tilt.

"There's been dry spells in there, pretty much every year," Iginla acknowledged. "You don't want to be too hard on yourself when you hit a post or you miss by an inch.

"You try to stay positive and think the tide is going to turn. I've been very fortunate that for the most part it has."

[murd0c]

As much as I hate the Flames Iginla is one class act. It's a shame he has played his best years in Calgary tho :troll:

Iginla is awesome. The guy is the model of consistency, leadership and heart. He's Calgary's version of Linden.

Doesn't take away the fact that I hate the Flames.

Dallas traded iginla to the flames for a stanley cup for Joe Nieuwendyk who is now their GM.

[Tegra_Devil]

No thanks to the terrible officiating.

ya, officiating did suck...but Columbus got some shitty calls against them too....poor nash was working so hard, that guy is a work horse

[Not really racist!]

Lot of teams making a push..

NJ's been on a roll...at this rate they might make the playoffs :troll:
& wow.. Sharks and Hawks with 7/8 game winning streaks

Looks like his legs got tangled in a funny way as he was falling??
Vandermeer blocked the view just at the moment.

Nice moves before the fight!

Fucking hell............ he's in my hockey pool at work. I have ten injured players now. I took a chance on Hall, because he has a lot of potential. Hoping he would tear it up this season. Shit, shit, shitty..........

Don't forget my boys from Orange County!

Beat the Red wings the other night on a penalty shot in OT, and tonight oh man... Down 3-1 , Selanne ties it with just over a minute left in the 3rd, and with 3.8 seconds left in OT Visnovsky completes his hat trick. Western conference better watch out!

[b0unce. [?]]

rick nash has always been one of my favorite players, its a shame he's stuck on a dogshit team and hockey market with no strong players to help him out. probably one of the most consistent players in the nhl. pretty sure he's 50+ points every season, 30+ goals at least, imagine if they gave him a REAL center to play with. he gets little to no spotlight or media attention at all. sitting around his prime right now too i think at the age of like 27 (i think).

[murd0c]

Oh ya Philly lost again, nucks game in 30mins w00t

anyone notice some of the GLEE cast at the game? i noticed what's-his-face-Finn sitting right next to the Canucks bench and that Asian guy by the LA bench. [/gay]

[LikeASir]

Does AV have a man crush on Rome? Because Rome was out there on the ice for every situation. Hes our 7th DMAN he shouldn't be on the PP or PK -_-

I'm surprised that he has slumped at the same time as the Sedins. I expected him to pass Daniel after the Sedins' recent 3-game drought.

But that means we won't get to see some seeweed/spinach/popcorn posts from Tegra Devil anymore.

Actually, I think he started a Calgary Flames thread last year when they went into the playoffs........... or was it for another reason. Something to do with not flaming (pun intended) him or his team?
