Fetch Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Who decides who gets assists on goals ? & is there still rules to how much curve a stick can have ? (used to see goalies get their sticks checked ) but have not seen that in ages Quote

While referees still tell the scorekeeper who they saw get assists, they are occasionally wrong. I'd be curious to go back and take a look at all of Panzer's assists and see how many of them were phantom. Video review wasn't used as much in that situation. Quote
Fetch Posted January 25, 2016 Author Posted January 25, 2016 So there is always a dedicated score keeper ? No one remembers when the refs would bring out a piece of wood & check sticks - especially goalies - never knew the reasoning behind it Quote

They track shots, goals, assists, penalties, etc. Quote

I haven't seen it since the 80's. I recall seeing a goal disallowed after a stick was challenged in the 80's. Quote

It was illegal, so goal didn't count, but Wisco scored shorthanded to win the series. The smoke filled room ncaa tourney committee then left the Sioux out of the ncaa tournament, when the FF was played in the Ralph. Imo the badgers and Sioux were by far the best 2 teams in the country that year, and wisco won the title easily without having to face the Sioux again. 4 Quote

If a goal is scored with illegal stick today the goal counts and a minor penalty is assessed. Quote

Yes, that has changed. Gino said they thought the stick was illegal but waited for an appropriate time to ask for a measurement. Quote

burd Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 I played in the wooden stick era, and guys would add curve. The test I saw used on the ice (Canadian rinks, I think) was seeing if a dime could pass under a straight edge between the heel and the toe. That's not much curve, but those are olden days. Not much toe-dragging with straight blades. 1 Quote

(used to see goalies get their sticks checked ) but have not seen that in ages At the Ralph there is someone that watches the video to look for the assists. The Refs do not inform on assist number. If you ever watch after the goals most of the time the orange band that called the goal does a fly by of the scorekeepers booth and signals a number that they have for the goal scorer only. I guess its a little more obvious from the student section being right there but you often can see them not go up to the hole in the glass. I remember playing USA Hockey rules with a illegal stick with Coffey blades were illegal, never got caught, but I also wasn't a goal scorer. They pretty much went away with the majority of curve rules, and I have not checked college rules but typically USA Hockey makes changes after NHL or NCAA does. Quote
Frozen4sioux Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 With the composite materials of today's sticks, not sure many try to heat up the blade to curve it anymore, it can be done but it's not like the olden days ("my youth") in which you could grab dad's blowtorch and work that curve into the shape of the girlfriends posterier. Patterns have to be formed in "somewhat" bulk so it's doubtfull that a manufacturer would retool for a stick that wouldn't conform to stanndards. It can be done but I don't trust heating the lamination of modern sticks I think it weakens them greatly....plus too expensive to experiment with Quote
siouxforcefans Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 I'll try to remember to take pictures of a couple of game used pro sticks I have at home when I go to lunch - you won't believe the curve and shape that Jason Spezza puts in his blade! Quote
siouxforcefans Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 Turns out it's really difficult to take a picture of the bend in the blade... Black stick is a Chris Porter from his time with the Blues. White stick is a Jason Spezza from his Senators days. 1 Quote
