I was watching hockey. Did I miss an exciting NFL game? - crash davis Oct 13, 22:33 7
- it's on the NFL channel right now. started 90 minutes agp -- nm* - peglegpete Oct 13, 22:40 2

Kraken win! Kraken win! -- nm - crash davis Oct 13, 22:09 7
- as the buzzer sounded a brawl broke out between 4 or 5 Kings and an equal # of Kraken...that is just hockey, right? -- nm - crash davis Oct 13, 22:10 6
  - newbie question #4. The situation is Kraken up 3-1. LA pulls the goalie. Kraken has a player in penalty so it is basically 6 on 4 -- (edited) - crash davis Oct 13, 22:18 3
    - not quite. when you're shorthanded you can ice the puck at will. Kraken score, so power play over, icing rule back to normal. - mafic Oct 13, 22:49 2
      - allow me to edit, I misunderstood. Kraken technically scored shorthanded, which doesn't end the power play. they should have been able to continue - mafic Oct 13, 22:52 1
        
        thank you -- nm - crash davis Oct 13, 23:18

  - I would doubt it, but I think many would try to transfer. -- nm - MDH Oct 13, 22:01
Newbie question of the night #3. Tight play in on goal. Kings goalie slaps his glove down on the puck. Kraken stops his skates on a dime six inches - crash davis Oct 13, 20:15 2
- that one's kind of a judgement call. if the goalie's in the crease probably yes. otherwise maybe? - mafic Oct 13, 20:21 1
  - thanks again, I watched a couple games last year but Trish found it too confusing and asked to watch other things. So I really didn't pick up the game - crash davis Oct 13, 20:25
Newbie question of the night #2. Kraken 1 passes to Kraken 2 who shoots. Kings goalie deflects. Kraken 3 puts puck in. Do Kraken 1 or 2 get any credit - crash davis Oct 13, 20:10 2
- assists are given as long as nobody on the opposing team had complete control of the puck. so goalie handles the puck: no assists. - mafic Oct 13, 20:18 1
  - thank you! -- nm - crash davis Oct 13, 20:19
if i understand things right, this is the same team that wants residents of Arlington Heights to give it tax breaks to move its stadium out of Chicago -- (link) - hollywood big shot Oct 13, 19:53 4
- The other arenas and stadiums mentioned in the article, outside of one, are all in much better locations with very good public transit access to begin - .🎡 Oct 13, 20:52
- Probably wouldn't get more "tax breaks" than any other corporation moving into a city. That's common. - zunk takes things literally Oct 13, 20:31 2
  - i guess i'm saying that's a lot of work regardless of who pays to build a billion dollar stadium for a ten cent team -- nm - hollywood big shot Oct 13, 20:35 1

- Do you mean a Quality Start? -- (link) - Reagen Oct 13, 19:55 5
  - the Kings have taken a couple shots and the announcers have said "another quality save by Martin". Is it a real stat or announcer hyperbole? -- nm - crash davis Oct 13, 19:59 4
    - announcer blather. -- nm - Reagen Oct 13, 20:01 3
      - but probably meaning he did more to stop the puck than just exist in space. -- nm - mafic Oct 13, 20:02 1
        
        Martin, deciding to exist not only in space, but also in time... -- nm - Beryllium Oct 13, 20:11
