In the ScuttlePuck NHL Hockey Podcast, irreverent Hockey Outsiders Mike Bonn and Dale Hoard give their less than expert opinions on all things hockey. Whether it's the National Hockey League, the International Ice Hockey Federation, Canadian Hockey League, NCAA or Minor Hockey, we give our take, from a fan's perspective. We focus mainly on NHL events and discussions but if there is a good hockey story to be told, we're on it!

Comparables - McDavid 16.7% (when signed)
Auston Matthews - 15.87%
Nathan MacKinnon - 15.27%
Big Extensions coming - how does Nylander affect-
Sam Reinhart ($6.5MM)- UFA at end of season
Elias Petterson ($7.35MM)- RFA at end of season
Leon Draisaitl - ($8.5) 1 more year - can sign July 1

-March 2023, Fletcher fired, Briere hired
- after season ended (basically same time) Gauthier wanted to finish season with Flyers
- shortly after, said he didn’t want to be a Flyer
3. Borje series- episodes 1 & 2 review
4. PWHL - Minnesota leads the league 3-0 - seem to be the team to beat
Montreal - 2-1
Ottawa 1-0

Rule 24.2
The puck must be kept in motion towards the opponent’s goal line and once it is shot, the play shall be considered complete. No goal can be scored on a rebound of any kind (an exception being the puck off the goal post or crossbar, then the goalkeeper and then directly into the goal), and any time the puck crosses the goal line or comes to a complete stop, the shot shall be considered complete.
The lacrosse-like move whereby the puck is picked up on the blade of the stick and “whipped” into the net shall be permitted provided the puck is not raised above the height of the shoulders at any time and when released, is not carried higher than the crossbar. See also 80.1.
The spin-o-rama type move where the player completes a 360° turn as he approaches the goal, shall not be permitted. Should a player perform such a move during the shot, the shot shall be stopped by the Referee and no goal will be the result.
Only a player designated as a goalkeeper or alternate goalkeeper may defend against a penalty shot
The goalkeeper must remain in his crease until the player taking a penalty shot has touched the puck.
If at the time a penalty shot is awarded, the goalkeeper of the penalized team has been removed from the ice to substitute another player, the goalkeeper shall be permitted to return to the ice before the shot is taken.
The team against whom the penalty shot has been assessed may replace their goalkeeper to defend against the shot, however, the substitute goalkeeper is required to remain in the game until the next stoppage of play.

New Jersey Goal against New York Rangers - whistle clearly blown before puck goes in but it is called a goal.
The ruling was made under Rule 37.3:
Puck entering the net as the culmination of a continuous play where the result of the play was unaffected by any whistle blown by the Referee upon his losing sight of the puck
Goal Review Procedure - the clocks
Situation Room observes goal, not observed by on-ice
- contact ref, if goal should have counted, reset clocks to time of goal. If not, no change to clocks.
Team A scores, undetected and Team B scores after
- if legal goal, Team A goal counts, Team B goal doesn’t, reset clocks to time of Team A goal

Dorion out
Senators give up 1st round pick for trade list issue with Vegas - harsh
Andelauer pissed. - “that’s something you’ll have to ask the NHL” “Andlauer told by seller that the no trade list was a “non-issue”
“Why I inherited this is beyond me”
Why did NHL not make sure he knew before buying? Andlauer suggested to maximize sale price - “but you’ll have to ask the NHL”
“Dorion resigned and been relieved of his duties” - what?
NHL decision on draft picks was last straw for Pierre
Andlauer going to be very hands on
Shane Pinto - not pleased that he didn’t know, wasn’t aware of all the facts

Oilers game, Skinner knocked over, mask comes off, play continues with Oilers going up the ice.
Skinner gets mask and puts back on before play returns.
Correct Call?
RULE
When a goalkeeper has lost his helmet and/or face mask and his team has control of the puck, play shall be stopped immediately to allow the goalkeeper the opportunity to regain his helmet and/or face mask. When the opposing team has control of the puck, play shall only be stopped if there is no immediate and impending scoring opportunity. This stoppage of play must be made by the Referee. When play is stopped because the goalkeeper has lost his helmet and/or face mask, the ensuing face-off shall take place at one of the defending team’s end zone face-off spots.
Play should have been stopped right away - Oilers should not have been allowed to go up ice.

Shane Pinto
- 41 games for not betting on NHL games? Seems fishy
- Players are allowed to gamble but not on NHL games
- Facts
- 41 games was negotiated settlement - NHL wanted more
- almost certainly confidentiality clause
- no appeal
- public admission of making
- NHL Statement
- "The League's investigation found no evidence that Pinto made any wagers on NHL games,"
NB - does not say Pinto did not make any wagers on NHL games
- Pinto
- “I take full responsibility for my actions and look forward to getting back on the ice with my team”
- what actions? not going to find out from Pinto or NHL
- Being Reported
- possibility it was proxy betting where someone uses your account to make bets for you - technically not illegal but against rules of most betting apps
- no one has said the proxy was betting on NHL games but given severity of penalty, must be the case no?
- proxy bet is nice, clean story but is it true?
- to make an account you need to give ID and credit card / bank info - did he think that wouldn’t be connected to him? Pretty stupid if not.
- Friedge and Marek pretty quick to say “nothing malicious” - what makes them think so?
- being characterized as an “honest mistake” and “careless” - if they are getting info out of NHL, it’s definitely the story the NHL wants out
- NHL has had huge influx of cash with betting services - what happens if it turns out a player bets on NHL games?
-will any MSM get the whole story? Hahahahahaha

Throwing the stick
Rule 53 – Throwing Equipment – clearly indicates that this is not only against the rules, but deserving of a penalty shot:
A player shall not throw a stick or any other object in any zone.
When any member of the defending team throws or shoots any part of a stick or any other object or piece of equipment at the puck or puck carrier in his defending zone, the Referee or Linesperson shall allow the play to be completed and if a goal is not scored, a penalty shot shall be awarded to the non-offending team. This shot shall be taken by the player designated by the Referee as the player fouled.

“They’re working away at resolving the uncertainty around where they’re going to play long term,” said Bettman, who added that the league must know definitive plans by midseason because it needs to focus on building next year’s schedule.Remember, Utah Jazz owner Ryan Smith is waiting in Salt Lake City with open arms if the Coyotes can’t resolve this over the next few months.”
That’s the first I’ve heard that short a timeline on the Coyotes getting resolution
Bowman and Quenneville spoke to the 32 coaches and 32 GMs about their experiences and lessons learned from the Chicago scandal. No details of discussion released by NHL or these two. Bill Armstrong said, “That was about leadership and responsibility and about, if something does come up, how to handle things thoroughly,” said Arizona Coyotes general manager Bill Armstrong. “You have to address it, investigate it, and it’s your responsibility as a leader to go above and beyond to make sure it’s dealt with. And that the league’s perspective, too.”

Ideas from other leagues - https://theathletic.com/4776520/2023/08/15/nhl-nfl-nba-mls-wta-atp/
10 things listed:
- Become player centric Create NHL version of NFL Red Zone Stagger game start times for better viewing options More appointment-watching games More flexibility with cap Designated player rule (see item 5) Don’t be beholden to the way it’s always been More advanced replay tech Lean in on data and promote it Encourage fresh voices
Do a quick take on any of these that interest you and THEN:
What other ideas do you have? Pick one or two you think they should try - try to be original.
Me: 1. Cut # of games - not new but this is a must - my new angle - shorten playoffs!
- Implement a 30s penalty for “Micro infractions” - accidental trip, puck over glass etc
Whatever is done, do not emulate MLB and NBA uniform nonsense!

- Flyers announce Keith Jones, Briere
CEO Dan Hilferty, “I know some people are thinking “here they go again, hiring two former Flyer players isn’t a fresh start,” Hilferty said. “Let me share with you that during the process, our goal was to hire the two best candidates. It just happens that they’re former Flyers. We were inspired by the titans who won us championships in 1974 and ‘75. We need to channel the spirit of those early years as we build anew. Equally, we need to embrace today’s modern game, one that requires speed, power, and strategy like never before.”
