The puck is still bouncing a lot, thought they changed it.
I swear the puck has been bouncing bad at Rogers since the Olympics in 2010.

It also explains why we couldn't score a power play goal. Now we finally get a power play goal and Newell Brown's job is safe.
They weren't able to activate the no slide mode on these pucks now

They’re trying to kill Hughes
I still believe Luke Schenn was a great fit with Hughes, I just really enjoyed watching Schenn go after every person who ever touched or looked at Hughes

NHL pulling faulty pucks with tracking tech
The NHL announced that it will stop using pucks with imbedded tracking technology for the foreseeable future due to complaints about their performance during the start of the 2021 season.
The change is effective beginning with Tuesday night's games.
The NHL reviewed the first supply of tracking pucks that it has been using and determined that they did not receive "the same precise finishing treatments during the offseason manufacturing process as were used during the 2020 Stanley Cup Playoffs."
One NHL player told ESPN on Tuesday that the pucks were "terrible" and "don't slide," adding that players had voiced their displeasure with them.
The league said a new supply of the pucks will be available soon and will "undergo appropriate quality control testing" before being used in games. In the interim, the league said it will use official game pucks from the 2019-20 season. It will also continue to use optical player tracking, which is the other half of the two-pronged tracking system along with the devices inside the puck.
This is the first full season of puck and player tracking for the NHL, which promises to provide a significant amount of new data to enhance everything from TV broadcasts to sports wagering.
The league has attempted to embed technology inside pucks for years, finding the results too ineffective or costly. This incarnation of the pucks was used during tests and in the postseason during 2020, with a sensor in the puck tracked by 14-16 antennae installed in the arena rafters.

Did anyone see or read yet about the faulty pucks the NHL was using and made sure on Tuesday yesterday high tech pucks weren't allowed to be used anymore....
What shocks me more is I didn't even hear the NHL was trying new technology pucks for games this season at all in the first place seems weird....

Throwing it back to these curved nets the NHL tested in 2005 to increase scoring - Article - Bardown
The league toyed with the idea but those curved posts were ridiculed. I agree that the nets could be 2 puck widths {6"} wider and
3" taller.
Those look hilarious

Myers prevents a goal with his long reach.
If only he played more like Willie Mitchell and not Quinn Hughes, I'm sure we'd be hearing and seeing way more of that long reach to his advantage.

Players are now taller so the nets should be taller

Wow couldn't ask for a better opportunity early!
