the cheaters way to win -- nm - J Jul 2, 14:18 14
- well as far i could see the offences were penalised or have i missed one? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jul 2, 14:20 13
  - it could be argued all day, but the fact is that ball was in and it doesn't matter who got kicked off -- nm - J Jul 2, 14:23 12
    - i don't follow here -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jul 2, 14:25 11
      - then we are talking about two different games -- nm - J Jul 2, 14:29 10
        
        i think so - Danedukenuuk Jul 2, 14:31 9
        
        the one I saw was a desperate act that in the end led to a victory -- nm - J Jul 2, 14:31 4
        
        Dane's point is, that it's a failing of the rules, not a failing of the refs or players. (nm) - musubi Jul 2, 14:37 2
        
        what makes it look unfair is the timing thats all... - Danedukenuuk Jul 2, 14:40
        
        I agree with that, but I think he's defending the rule too. -- nm - pmb Jul 2, 14:38
        
        and i think i saw the same when the player got the punishment correctly nd the team got a punishmnet too -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jul 2, 14:34

        read -- (link) - Danedukenuuk Jul 2, 14:32 [Backboard] 2
        
        Why would I read a link that's irrelevant? -- nm - ty97 Jul 2, 14:34 1
        
        same reason i was offered to resd your irrelevant link i presume -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jul 2, 14:35

- agreed. its complete bullshit. -- nm - Jovian Jul 2, 14:25
- Yeah. But until they change the rules (spoils) - musubi Jul 2, 14:21 18

    - *shakes head* - Danedukenuuk Jul 2, 14:28 9
      - He's not arguing what the rule is, just why it's so stupid. -- nm - pmb Jul 2, 14:29 8
        
        so the penalty is detairminf by how great a chance it is? - Danedukenuuk Jul 2, 14:30 7
        
        The sport already accepts that that's true. Other penalties (or even that penalty elsewhere on the field) don't result in the ball being placed in - pmb Jul 2, 14:36 1
        
        you need to read the rules better - Danedukenuuk Jul 2, 14:44
        
        Spoilers - Loyola Jul 2, 14:34 4
        
        and why? - Danedukenuuk Jul 2, 14:38
        
        is this like goal tending in basketball? -- nm - sycor Jul 2, 14:34 2
        
        That really is the best analogy. -- nm - pmb Jul 2, 14:37
        
        No idea. Sidebar; basketball on ice would be a good game. -- nm - Loyola Jul 2, 14:36

      - It's not at all. - David Jul 2, 14:31 3
        
        I shouldn't say "equivalent" I should say "analogous". - musubi Jul 2, 14:35 2
        
        Sycor's comment that it's more like goaltending in basketball is really the right analogy. -- nm - pmb Jul 2, 14:37 1
        
        Not from the players perspective. He knew it was a foul. A goal tend is not usually intentional. (nm) - musubi Jul 2, 14:40
      - The difference is that in basketball there are nearly 100 scoring chances per game and nearly half are converted. In a game that has a handful of - pmb Jul 2, 14:31 1
        
        See my reply above. (nm) - musubi Jul 2, 14:36
