So they are stillllllll playing the NU BC game. They know how to call penaties in that game. 7 already.
Can you imagine all the fans who needed to leave because the trains stop running for the night. Yikes!
OK, now I really am signing out.

Originally posted by bottomdweller View PostIn order to have a distinct kicking motion, you need to lift your skate off the ice, otherwise you're sliding it in and redirecting the puck.

He kicked the ball!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" NO! NO! NO! If it BOUNCES off your leg, that's not a kick. The defender has to make a KICKING MOTION with his leg in order for it to be a "kicked" ball. If he is just standing there and it bounces off his leg, it's not a kick. It doesn't matter how he "positioned" his skate BEFORE the puck hit it. This has been explained about ten times now. Again...INTENT doesn't come into play. I'm not arguing that it shouldn't (but then, trust me, there would be galactic arguments about intent every time this happened - which is why it is not considered). So it is purely motion. If you don't "swing" your foot into the puck, then you are considered not to be "kicking" it.

Overall, what an epic game. I was at the first HE title game, the BC/PC 2OT thriller, and this met or exceeded that. You just had a sense that something fluky was going to happen in the end to settle it. Both teams were running on fumes, slugging away at each other and taking the fans on a roller coaster ride for almost two complete games. Not a game many will ever forget.Hockey East Tournament Champions - 2013, 2014, 2017
