I hadn't seen the replay. One person. I wasn't going on and on. I made one comment about it.
 
Re: Fire Mike Eaves?

So I learned something new today, if you didn't mean to throw it, and it just happens to be knocked out in the direction to make the play it is ok.
Nice to know. If it is in his hand there is no way that save is made.

I was at the game and I saw the overhead replay there. I was home and watched this one and it didn't match with what Rumpel said in the post game interview. He said the puck knocked it out of his hand and this one clearly shows the stick is out of hand before the puck hits it.

Find a different word FTLT. Cheating implies an intent to deceive to gain some unfair advantage. If you are on a break away and I hook you down to prevent you scoring, it is not cheating. It is specifically provided for in the rules that a penalty will result, and in that circumstance I have likely had time to make a judgement about whether I would rather let you shoot or take a penalty, and simply have chosen to take the penalty. It's even referred to as a "good penalty" in some situations. But it's not cheating.

In the case of a goalie throwing his stick, it is the intent of the goalie to stop the puck, not to deceive anyone. If I am caught out in the corner and wheel my stick ninja-style to the front of the net intercepting a puck, I am not deceiving anyone, or even trying to. I am simply stopping the puck. Period. The rules provide for a penalty in that case and it is up to the officials to apply the rules.

In the case of Rumpel, first of all, I have seen him drop his stick several times while simply watching play in the corner. He wields his stick lightly, like a magician holds a wand, not like a barbarian with a cudgel. In the split second that it took for the stick to come out there was not time to even consider his action or if it would be cheating to let go of his stick. He simply was attempting to stop the puck. My opinion is that given the way he holds his stick it was knocked loose, yours is he threw it. Fine. Blame the officials if you think they got it wrong, but don't call the kid a cheater. He's not Lance Armstrong. He was just trying to do his job.

The "grin" that you refer to as evidence of complicity, is more likely attributed to the fact that he said he watched the stick knock the puck wide "almost in slow motion". It was an astonishing turn of events, and no doubt the player at the center of it was even more astonished at the sheer luck involved that prevented the puck from going in. Getting out of it on sheer luck is not the same as purposefully cheating the game, but you are equating the two and labeling Rumpel, who is a fine player and a fine person off the ice as well as on, a cheater. It's a foolish notion and should be stated differently.

The "grin" he has that on his face all the time....just a happy Canadian kid playing and living in a great American city.

This train wreck, much like Trophygate, was a group Jan.

I was the only one that said they hadn't seen the replay before now. But don't worry, just because you are a dumbass doesn't mean I will paint all Badger fans with the same brush.
 
Re: Fire Mike Eaves?

Even if that goal counted you would have found a way to lose to Bucky anyway, you know because you're Jan and all.

Come on, what else would you be doing on a Tues am? Plus, they should fire Eaves, that style of hockey is dreadful to watch and I can see why the fans are leaving in droves.

You, specifically you, sure are surly lately. You should try to enjoy the moment a little more as this level of success isn't likely to continue for your program.

Hockeykrazy hadn't seen it. I'm thinking that a few others may not have either otherwise their comments make absolutely no sense.


I used to feel bad for Jan-fan around here and think that they were being unfairly picked on. Then (around the time of the Aaron Marvin goonery) I actually started paying attention to your threads. You guys, not all of you, but as a group bring it upon yourselves.

You've earned your moniker.

You wear it well.

For the record, no one said why they made it stand. I read some of your comments the other day that it wasn't reviewable so I didn't look at it. I happened across this one and his comments on the post game interview and they didn't match. This was the first time I heard it was knocked out of his hand by a skate and when I looked at it again his skate is going the wrong way and doesn't look anywhere near it. Now that you explained that it happened to hit his skate during his swinging motion was when it made sense. But it still doesn't match with Rumpels grin when he said the puck knocked it out of his hands. So to me it looked like he had gotten away with one.

Is there a rule anywhere that addresses throwing the stick? I was just wondering exactly what it says.

Don't worry about it. I'm done with this.


I just didn't like the "cheating" accusation and then others jumped in and well I was bored last night coz the Hawks game was brutal and you know, I just like to tangle sometimes.

In the end, no matter how anyone views the call or non-call or whatever, it was still a tie game in the first period and there was plenty of time for either team to get the job done. End of story. Scoreboard.


In the end, we both made the tourney and if it can't be us, I'm hoping that either SCSU or MSUM gets it done.

Had Rumpel's stick not hit his defenseman's foot, that would have been an automatic goal.

In real time, I thought he threw it and was saying "That's gonna be a goal." Then I saw the replay. Was clear to me that he was going to desperately sweep at the puck (and not get to it in time, btw) and his stick got jarred from his hand. I've had my own stick knocked out of my hands many times in the exact same way. Every player has.


If a skater (non-goalie) throws his stick to stop a puck carrier, I believe it's a penalty shot. If one does that with an empty net, I believe it's an automatic goal.
 
Re: Fire Mike Eaves?

I hear what your saying. I'm done with it too now that I see exactly what happened.

Good luck to you guys too.

Thanks for the update on the stick rule.

Are you serious? I came in here agreeing with you and pointing out that the Badgers could have easily had their season ended last Friday. I didn't think I would have to repeat the reasons why Badgers fans weren't likely to change their mind over the weekend to wanting Eaves to stay. You seized on my statement as some kind of whining about my own team's fortunes. It wasn't. Whether intentional or not, you shifted the point of the conversation to the controversial play. Like I said I am over it. No guarantee we would have won even if we were awarded a goal there.

I enjoyed the moment of SCSU winning the MacNaughton. Hasn't been a whole lot to celebrate other than that over the past few weeks. We can agree to disagree on whether St. Cloud will have continued success. I am sure your opinion isn't in the minority.

As far as whether we bring it on ourselves, it is kind of pointless to discuss because whether it is right or wrong it obviously isn't going to change.
