I thought the only question was whether everyone actually cleared the zone.
They all touched the line or behind it.

I believe the question ESPN was asking was whether the QU player touched up before Demko played the puck. It was close. But he definitely did touch up.
Congrats to BC on a great season -- you guys have a great team. Those last few minutes were beyond frightening.
Actually, doesn't matter if Demko touches it.

Touching the line means you have not cleared the zone, skate must clear the line or you have not left the zone.....you are considered in a the last zone until you clear entirely and a simple touch is not that. The skate has to cross the line just as the puck must totally cross the line to get to the next zone
Nothing to hangs their heads about. Had a good year, lost to a very good team and if Demko is the only one they lose they'll be in great shape next year. Can't wait.
Yikes(!), forgot all about Vesey telling Nashville to screw.I hope that's the case, but this has the potential to be a VERY bloody offseason in terms of players leaving early. I think the Jimmy Vesey situation will throw gasoline on that particular fire. I'm not saying he's done anything wrong, or anything that he's not within his rights to do, but it will certainly provide encouragement for NHL teams to put incredible pressure on their NCAA drafted players to leave early and sign, particularly juniors. I would expect Demko, Santini, McCoshen, and Fitzgerald will all be under terrific pressure from their organizations to sign.
You also have to figure that White, Tuch, Wood, and Sanford all have a degree of risk as well. I think they would be doing extremely well if 6 of those 8 return next year.
I believe they have 4 years to sign a player after drafting them but I'm not sure what kind of pressure a team drafting a player could put on said player to sign.
Well, that was an awful period. Two defensive breakdowns leading to two goals, made worse by the fact that the first one was offside and shouldn't have counted. 0 for 2 on the PP. Have to figure Q will get the next one. Man, 2 goals down against this team, not good. Gonna be real tough.
Wouldn't that work both ways though? Say you're drafted by forever pathetic Edmonton. I know there's a max $$$ on entry level contracts and age factors in on the length of the entry level contract. They make an offer you say not enough. Make an offer next year you say no. This is our last offer take it or leave it you say no I'm going FA. I didn't want to play for your crappy organization anyway I'll play at x for the same amount of money.$$$$$
