Yeah, well, it *is* a crazy ivan, it's not supposed to work often. - musubi Feb 26, 13:40 16
- The difference with football is that if the onside kick works you deny possession of the ball. - Reagen Feb 26, 13:43 15
  - I'm not saying it's anything more than a vague theoretical parallel to football. It's cost/benefit analysis. - musubi Feb 26, 13:48 13
    - Not true. They still have a chance at a bronze medal. - Subversive - remembering Tommy Salo Feb 26, 13:54
    - You have a far better chance of coming back through normal means than through desperate strategies - Reagen Feb 26, 13:52 11
      - Oh sure, it would *have* to be used extremely rarely. Extremely. But I don't think zero is the rught number. - musubi Feb 26, 13:57 10
        
        wrong - there is no risk during a delayed penalty. play ends when the other team touches the puck -- nm - Guy Feb 26, 13:59 7
        
        it is possible to put it in your own net. But that's happened precisely twice. -- nm - Reagen Feb 26, 14:06
        
        And a puck can't find the empty net without the other team touching it? - musubi Feb 26, 14:06 5
        
        or your goalie could slip on his way to the bench and knock himself out. or maybe a meteor crashes through the roof -- nm - Guy Feb 26, 14:10 2
        
        So you admit, when you said I was wrong about risk, it was you who was wrong. Thanks. (nm) - musubi Feb 26, 14:11 1
        
        You're better than this. I mean, you should be better than this. -- nm - Reagen Feb 26, 14:13
        
        it's infintesimal. -- nm - Reagen Feb 26, 14:07 1
        
        I agree. But it's not zero. - musubi Feb 26, 14:10
        
        And Reagen's point (and that of everyone else who knows hockey) is that a 6-0 game is NEVER that time. - Subversive - remembering Tommy Salo Feb 26, 13:59 1
        
        Fair enough. Like I said, I don't know hockey that well. 6-0, to me, seems like a score that's one where crazy is justified. - musubi Feb 26, 14:02
  - itd be like trying to go 80 yards in one play by lateraling it a dozen times or more -- nm - Guy Feb 26, 13:47
