    Never played competitive hockey. Wondering if something like spearing and checking from behind into the boards is a conscious decision or a reflex action. More broadly, are almost all penalties preventable?

    Hockey is an emotional game.  Sometimes things are intentional and sometimes they are reflex.  

    Running someone from behind is most often a result of playing hard and either not being 100% in control as you go to finish your check or the other player turning trying to evade at the last minute.  Very, very rarely do you see someone run a guy from behind on purpose. 
     

    Spearing on the other hand shows some intent and is a dirty penalty.

    Almost every minor penalty is the result of either playing hard and going a little over the line or else getting beat, caught out of position, or laziness (think stick infractions like a hook or a trip).  
     

    you expect a couple penalties on your team every game from hard play- a stick slash, maybe some roughing, maybe a little interference.  You want tough physical play that pushes the boundaries- so you expect a couple times to go a little over.  You don’t like cheap/dirty  penalties or lazy penalties.

    Now that another change was announced today for the new hospital...

    Which one is the bad decision?

    Or are they incompetent?

    I'm not close to it to know which is the bad decision.  I was trusting that those doing the math didn't see the original plan as viable and therefore scaled back.  More time gives you more info.  Could be a good decision or a bad decision.  You make the best decision you can with the information you have at the time.  Time will tell.  

  4. Pinto and JBD are as good as gone.  They will be in the Senators lineup and getting NHL money and starting their entry-level deals with fat signing bonuses and making $20k/week while up in the NHL. 

    Sanderson should be back for one more year.  IF he plays all of next year like he played on Saturday he will be playing next to Chabot this time next year.

  5. A lot of high end coaches I know preach this:  you simply can’t control how many you score, but you can absolutely control how many you let in.  It’s this idea of a perfect coaching game winning.   I believe the players win the game, and you play to win
