Super Sunday notes: Ain't No Party Like A Pekka Party

Skinner winner, chicken dinner?

Nice.

How loud was it?

110db Martin Erat 1st period goal

but if the Caps win today they go from 9th to 3rd place in the East. Meanwhile, we can win 5 straight and can’t move outside the 4-6th seed range. SMH!

Here are the rules governing a goal scored but not seen by on-ice officials:

78.6 Video Review – Any potential goal requiring video review must be reviewed prior to or during the next stoppage of play. No goal may be awarded (or disallowed) as a result of video review once the puck has been dropped and play has resumed. See Rule 38.

When a team scores an apparent goal that is not seen by the on-ice officials and play continues, the play shall be reviewed by the Video Goal Judge at the next stoppage of play. If the goal is confirmed by video review, the clock (including penalty time clocks, if applicable) is re-set to the time the goal was scored. If the goal is not confirmed by video review, no adjustment is required to the clock time.

Only one goal can be awarded at any stoppage of play. If the apparent goal was scored by Team A, and is subsequently confirmed as a goal by the Video Goal Judge, any goal scored by Team B during the period of time between the apparent goal By Team A and the stoppage of play (Team B’s goal), the Team B goal would not be awarded. However, if the apparent goal by Team A is deemed to have entered the goal, albeit illegally (i.e. distinct kicking motion), the goal shall be disallowed by the Video Goal Judge and since the play should have stopped for this disallowed goal, no goal can be awarded to Team B on the same play. The clock (including penalty time clocks, if applicable) must be re-set to the time of the disallowed Team A goal and play resumed.

Any penalties signaled during the period of time between the apparent goal and the next stoppage of play shall be assessed in the normal manner, except when a minor penalty is to be assessed to the team scored upon, and is therefore nullified by the scoring of the goal. Refer to Rules 16.2 and 18.2. If an infraction happens after the first stoppage of play following an apparent goal (infraction after the whistle) by either team, it is assessed and served in the normal manner regardless as to the decision rendered by the Video Goal Judge.

^^ This!

the player i miss the most from the offseason purge, but he hasn’t reached double digits in either goals or assists yet…i hope they make the playoffs so we can see the Joel Ward “Playoff Beast-mode”

Anybody watching the Flyers and Rangers game? Man, Big Ern and Tootie look like choir boys upside them. One Ranger already has three fights already! 2-1 Rangers in the third.

doesn’t look like a guy who wants to leave town, he loves it here! You know you do to, Suter!
