canuck_in_england Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Thanks for that. Are there examples of centres who never took faceoffs? Would this be something some coaches would consider for someone like Pettersson, an excellent rookie who might have a weakness at faceoffs but would otherwise make a great centre, or tell him to get on the wing and work on faceoffs?

lmm Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 how is it that Mark Striet was drafted when he was 26? Couldn't he just have been signed as a free agent? Drafted in the same draft as Jannik Hansen, Hansen is 33, Streit is 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rules were different before the 2004/2005 lockout, but yes I do believe he could have been signed as a free agent. However by drafting him, the Canadiens' were able to secure exclusive rights to the player without using a contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

European players that went undrafted at their normal draft ages could not come to the NHL until they went through a draft where they were selected. IE: they could not be signed as a free agent. The oldest player ever drafted as a result of these rules was Helmut Balderis.....he was 37 when the Minnesota North Stars selected him.

Lafayettecrossbar Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 I was just wondering about hockey gear brands, specifically, but not limited to goalie gear. Maybe someone could fill in the blanks. So, if I have this right, Koho turned into Reebok which has now turned into CCM? What is the relationship between Lefevre and this company? How about what ever happened to TPS? Heaton? Christian? Brown? Cooper? Have Brian's & Vaughn always catered exclusively to goalies or have they ever made the foray into player gear? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.K. Chesterton Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Whatever happened to Stephen Weiss. I know that he signed a 5-year contract with Detroit, played 78 games over 2 seasons with the Red Wings, got bought-out, and then didn't play again, but I mean, why'd he fade after going to Motown?

He’s a 99 birthyear only in his D+2 season. He's been sent there on a conditioning assignment. He was never assigned back to the OHL because he was recovering from a back injury. Horvat also did one in Utica in his D+2 season. He went in October 2014 for 5 games when he was still 19 - he's born in April 1995.

Leads to my next question, why do some skaters use black tape? Doesn't that make it hard for them to see? Are the tape textures different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goalies, however, are always looking for the puck. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cramarossa Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 (edited) When a goalie gets pulled (either injury or poor play) how is it determined which goalie wins or loses the game? Is it whichever goalie is last in the net when the game ended? Is it based upon the number of minutes each one played? Aren't there some games where neither goalie is credited with the win/loss? ETA: I realized I phrased this kind of strangely. Imagine Jacob Markström started a game but got pulled and replaced by Nilsson. I'm asking how is it determined whether it was Marky or Nilly that won/loss that game for stat purposes.

If the new goalie comes in in a tie game, the second goalie gets the W or L. If a goalie comes in while losing and his team ends up winning, that second goalie will get the W. If the replacement comes in while winning I think it depends on minutes played. It can also be dependent on goals scored while he’s in, i.e.: he comes in while winning 3-2 but wins 5-4 after surrendinf the lead, the W will belong to the second goalie.

I believe it's dependant on when the winning goal is scored. So if a goalie comes in when they're down 5-1 and still end up losing 5-4, the first goalie let in the winning goal and takes the loss. Or in the same situation if they end up losing 6-5, then the second goalie gets the loss because the game winner was let in by the second goalie. But if they come back from being down 5-1 and win 6-5, then the second goalie gets the win as the eventual winner is scored when the second goalie was in.
