Before the exclusion of the spin-o-rama play, most rule changes certainly werent made with a goalies best interest in mind. Smaller pads, bigger net, the dreaded trapezoid. But at least they can be thankful that the minor penalty shot rule from 1941 no longer exists. A shot which was awarded to an opposing team if a goalie committed a minor delay of game infraction.What is a minor penalty shot? The shooter was granted an open shot at the goalie from 28 feet out. Think a free kick in soccer without the wall. The shooter could skate up to the puck for their shot, so long as they didnt pass the line when they fired the puck. Brian Rolston may have wanted to lobby for reinstating this rule before his retirement.4. Goalies Cant Freeze The Puck - 1929(photo: City of Toronto Archives)There was a rule change that stated that goalies could not freeze the puck, and if they did it would result in a faceoff 10 feet away from the goal. And heres the kicker, during the faceoff, no player except for the goalie was allowed to be between the faceoff circle and the goal line. Thats right, if a goalie froze the puck, the ensuing faceoff would have all the players north of the faceoff circle except for the guy taking the faceoff and the goalie. Incredible! 3. Allowing Forward Passes - Rule Changed in 1929(photo: What Culture)This ones the rule that essentially changed everything. Hockey transformed from a bizzaro game of rugby, to the fast paced, higher scoring sport that is today. Youve got to think a rule like this caused a higher amount of offsides calls with the number of attackers trying to position themselves behind the puck. Not to mention the difficulty of correctly calling such a rule, considering the speed of play. You thought the flying V was useless before? Imagine how inffective it wouldve been with the predictability of knowing the puck had to be continuously passed backward. We gotta say, whoever originally came up with the idea of disallowing forward passes must have been a special type of Cake Eater. Tough, but fair title.2. Stand-Up Goalies Eliminated - Rule Changed in 1917(photo: SB Nation)In 1917, the rule that penalized a goalie for dropping to the ground was removed. Yes, this does indeed mean that prior to 1917, anytime a goalie dropped to the butterfly, his team received a minor penalty. Imagine how significant this rule change was and how the "hockey purists" must have been in quite the uproar. "How is anyone supposed to score with the goalies dropping to their knees like that? Youre ruining the game!" 1. Player Not Allowed to Use Goal-tending Equipment When Replacing Goalie - Rule Changed in 1937(photo: YouTube) Nowadays if a goalie commits any sort of penalty below a game misconduct, they still have the luxury of remaining on the ice and having one of their teammates serve the two to five minutes for them. However, before the 1941 season, this was not the case. If a goalie did the crime, he served the time.So what, right? You might be saying, thats what a backup goalies for. Well, before 1937, it was a position player who was tasked with replacing the penalized goalie and heres the kicker; the substitutes werent allowed to borrow any of the goal-tending equipment. No leg pads, no blocker, no glove, not even the stick. If that rule had still existed in up until 90s, wed have to wager that any team featuring Ron Hextall in net would be the most scored against in the league by a healthy sum. Ron Santo Jersey .Y. - Major League Soccer is prepared to start its season this weekend even if there isnt a labour deal with its referees and other on-field officials. Jonathan Lucroy Jersey .Mack, a reserve guard who came in averaging 3.8 points, made all six of his 3-pointers as the Hawks went 16 for 28 from behind the arc.Trailing 50-38 midway through the second quarter, Atlanta outscored Cleveland 89-48 the rest of the way and sent the Cavaliers to their largest loss of the season. https://www.cheapcubs.com/ . As analysts we do the same thing, so here are some observations from week one. First there were two major upsets. I should say, major upsets in the eyes of the fans and prognosticators. CALGARY -- Pierre Lavertu has an experienced, successful guide on the Calgary Stampeders offensive line. Brett Jones was fresh out of university at Calgarys training camp a year ago. The centre from Weyburn, Sask., went on to become the first offensive lineman to be named the Canadian Football Leagues most outstanding rookie. The Stampeders hope Lavertu is also a quick study. Calgary swung a draft-day deal with Ottawa to make the Laval athlete the first overall pick May 13. The 24-year-old from Quebec City played centre for the Rouge et Or, but with Jones so successful at that position in 2013, Lavertu has worked most of the pre-season at guard. Jones may be two years younger than Lavertu, but hes helping usher the older rookie into professional football. "Hes given me advice and helped me during meetings. He sits behind me," Lavertu said Tuesday at McMahon Stadium. "Brett is an inspiration for me because he did everything well. He has great technique, good footwork, he knows everything thats happening on the field." Jon Gott, who was dealt to the expansion Redblacks for the first pick in the draft, and the retired Dimitri Tsoumpas mentored Jones in his first year in the league, so Jones wants to pay it forward. "They just made sure I was welcomed into the group," Jones said. "Were known as a unit. I just want whats best for the offensive line." Lavertu, who is six foot three and 298 pounds, won three Vanier Cups and was a three-time CIS all-star with Laval. He was surprised Calgary drafted him because of Jones, but Lavertu is also excited at the prospect of blocking for star running back Jon Cornish. Larry Bowa Cubs Jersey. "If they want me to play guard, Im going to play guard," Lavertu said. "Its the opportunity theyve given to me. Im going to take it and do the best I can to be successful at right guard. "We have Jon Cornish and a lot of good running backs. I love to run-block for him. When you run the ball like that and control the clock like that, you are going to win." Lavertu played right guard in the first half and returned to centre for the second when Jones came out of Saturdays pre-season win over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Calgary rushed for 193 yards in a 23-20 victory. The Stampeders are in Vancouver to face the Lions in another pre-season game Friday. Calgary hosts Montreal in their regular-season opener June 28. As Jones did, Lavertu must adapt to the quicker pace of the pro game as well the calibre of the oppositions defensive line. "Theres a lot more things hes responsible for and the talent hes going against every play is equal (to him) or better," Calgary offensive line coach Pat DelMonaco said. "You have to factor in some of them have five, six or seven years of experience." The six-foot-two, 321-pound Jones says Lavertu makes the same errors he did in his early days as a Stampeder. "I made a ton of mistakes," Jones said. "Youre going to make mistakes and its just not making the same mistake twice. "Hes doing great. This offence isnt that easy. You can just see hes making those changes and just making those improvements to get better. Whenever he gets a chance to play, Im excited to play beside him and hope the best for him." ' ' ' |
