Fullright Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 I had the Gretzky pulled on me last night. Center was behind the net faking left, faking right and passed the puck over the net to a Dman breaking in down the slot. He blasted it but the shot just hit me. I dont like it but got to give them credit when they go aerial and start playing 3 D hockey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tubby34 Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 I usually toss my catcher hand up there and pull the puck and blade/stick out of their hands. I've also slashed the stick really hard and taken a penalty, grabbed the stick/puck and the puck trickled out, which resulted in a penalty. I've also been hit in the face/cage with the stick and had the opposing player not get called for high sticking/spearing. Outside of tossing your hand there and getting lucky, they should call this play more harshly. Stick over the crossbar, no goal. Hit the goalie in the face, no goal. Spear the goalie, penalty. Make them make the play right, don't stand there in awe and not want to be the fun police. When done properly with no infractions, I'm cool with it. Zegras looked clean. Others.... not so much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting take. If a goalie is down, on his knees or on all 4s, and let's say an attacking player near the crease hits him in the head or face with a follow through on a one timer and the puck goes in....is that a penalty? High sticking? A good goal? I'm honestly not sure . I don't think the lacrosse play should be treated differently in this regard. In terms of hitting a goalie in the face it's just one among other types of shots. It's not unique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of hitting a goalie in the face it's just one among other types of shots. It's not unique. Contacting the goalie in the head with your stick should be a penalty 100% of the time, even if we're down in a butterfly. Possible exception being if we're prone on the ice and someone is digging for the puck. High sticking is, essentially, a penalty for not having safe control of your stick. If you're hitting the goalie in the head with your stick, then you don't have safe control of it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it has nothing to do with the height of contact, it's just hitting in the head equals penalty. It'd be interesting to see this sequence: lacrosse move, hit goalie in head, puck goes in. Good goal? Hopefully not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTH Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Decades ago when the lacrosse goal was called the 'Michigan', every ham and egger tried it. But we hugged the post then, so I'd reach over the net and simply hit the dude with my glove when they were attempting to pick it up. Although these kids today are slippery fast scooping it up. Most don't even slow down when they're skating around the net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most don't even slow down when they're skating around the net. Decades ago hockey players played defense and were actually close to the opponent so any such maneuvers were defeated before they could be effective. Watch any goal highlights from today and you may see all five players near their goal, yet miraculously they are not covering anyone. Instead they cover space and puckwatch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullright Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 This is really hard. I think both views of what used to be called "hot dog" moves and are now called "really skillful" are appropriate. But there's no getting around it; lacrosse/michigan/the Hertl move b/w his legs up until recently would have drawn a heavy response from a D man or defending F. Whether the absence of such a response is a good thing or bad thing is beside the point. The present hockey environment encourages the lacrosse/michigan/cutie pie moves. So, like always, it is up to us to figure how to stop the shot/move. WillyGrips13, 100%. Collapse to the goal but no one is on a man.
