NHL “Rulebook” and loopholes found, and rewrites

(1/3) > >>

DC_1908:
We all know The NHL “Rulebook”is a flat out joke that started rather naive to and  has since become thousands of pages  of legal jargon that you can sum as “referees discretion” and/or marketing support that can be changed any time.


That being said , I found this little video about three rules that “where added”, because the great Roger Nielsen was just smarter than the other coaches and The NHL.


The three loopholes being:
-intentionally sending two many men on the ice at the end of the game (which causes play to stop and get a face off)
-replacing the goalies on a penalty shot  with a D, to charge and take puck
-pulling the goalie and having him leave his stick in front of the net
Some call this bush league, but it’s rrally brilliant strategy

     I knew about these incidents. It is kind of bush league but if there is no rule against it why not take advantage of it. Whenever a loophole is exploited the league will always refine the rules.

The league rushing to refine the rules all the time is more of a detriment to the game than the loopholes, or great strategies coaches found.


These things are impossible to beat, they just force coaches and players to come up with ways to do it and be better.

Here’s another one, that “as the video clearly shows”. WOMANS RULES HOCKEY



Now I ain’t one to wanna see another man with his shirt off, (that being said, this rule shouldn’t be in woman’s leagues either), but in this case Ray (and Probie), where absolutely brilliant strategist to gain major advantages over their enemy.


Nothing to grab onto, increased ability to throw punches from either side, and increased mobility.


A smart fighter could take advantage of this, but the league had to step in to push their woman’s rules, and protect those that can’t figure things out, or fight for themselves.

I love anyone smart enough to read the rules and find a way to get around them.

Love that out of the box thinking.
