Tämä menisi myös Mitä katsot kaudella 2021-2022- ketjuun, mutta ehkä sopivampi tänne, eli tuomarilinja ja DOPS:n tekeminen.
McDavid on haastattelussa antanut painetta tuomaroinnin muuttamisesta lähemmäs ”call the rulebook”- linjaa.
“You obviously want to call the rulebook,” he said Tuesday. “That’s what it’s there for. If you call each and every one, there’s lots of penalties. But if there’s lots of penalties, there’s lots of penalties — that’s just the way it is.
“The rulebook’s there for a reason, and you want to call it with integrity. If you let guys get away with certain things, they’re going to keep getting away with it. It’s a tough job (the referees have), and it’s something that I don’t envy.”
Todella mielenkiintoista nähdä onko McDavidin kaltaisen tähden sanalla minkäänlaista vaikutusta. Liigan uskottavuudelle todella haitallista olisi se, että ensi kaudella McDavid vetäisi huomattavasti enemmän jäähyjä, kuin aiemmin. Toisaalta, Connorin vetämää ehkä oudon pientä jäähy määrääkään, ei voi jättää huomiotta.
Muuta samassa jutussa sanottua tuomaroinnista:”
The expectation is cross-checking will be called to a stricter standard this season, like the way slashing to the hands was called a few years ago.
Cross-checks in front of the net by an offensive or defensive player, especially when a point shot is coming, are considered a point of emphasis. Someone knocked down could get hit in the head by a puck.
Forceful stick shoves in corner puck battles, especially done multiple times, are expected to be called more regularly. Also on the list are cross-checks after the whistle and aggressive ones above the pants.”
McDavid infamously couldn’t draw a penalty in the playoffs as the Oilers were swept by the Jets.
