High-Sticking History | The Steve Dangle Podcast

[@kylesavary6985]

Jesse you're the best, after the guys cried about a hand pass against the Coyotes in October, you suggest that the team maybe isn't good, and Adam can't believe it, just unreal content 👏

[@MachoWrestling101]

Mad respect for Jesse there

[@theemiester4090]

19:40 the rule is to prevent hand passes from happening. What Reilly was meant to do is whack the puck down and then have him get possession to prevent players in the future from whacking the puck to teammates. The rule is good and the call is good

[@theemiester4090]

Also your win shouldn't rely on whether or not a player hand passed or not in the final minutes

[@lankancheetah]

Especially vs the 2022-23 Coyotes.

[@Pajo25ify]

The rule is good, the way it's ALWAYS called is good. Even thee way it was called this time is good. Reilly stops the puck from going out of the zone and would have posession if Keller didn't challenge him for posession -> the refs wash-off. This is the way the situation is called seven times per game. Even in this situation. It wasn't the refs that turned the call over, it was the situation room.

[@Carimbo575]

@@Pajo25ify I think you nailed it. The mistake was made by the situation room.

[@Dave-dp6yg]

A bounty of salt, indeed.

[@sammybulin]

Lmao! So true!

[@LoganShanny]

The first five minutes of the Leafs-Coyotes game segment is hard to watch. 19:13 "What is Morgan Reilly meant to have done there?" play the puck himself with his stick, we see plays like that a dozen times a game, you can knock the puck down with your hand then play it yourself. What you cannot do, and should not be able to do is play the puck with your hand to your teammates. 20:40 If I bum rush a goalie knocking him, myself, and the puck into the net, and the goal horn goes off, fans will get excited. That does not mean the goal should stand. Fan excitement by itself is not how you should make game rules. If the Coyotes scored, but the goal was taken back because of a hand pass and Leafs' fans started cheering, would you change your mind on the rule, because now fans are excited? Rules should only be made with the fairness of the game in mind, not fan excitement. Calling the rule asinine because it led to an outcome you don't like is so stupid. The rule makes sense, the rule is fair, it was called correctly, end of story.

[@imanoaf]

I want more content on Steve's fantasy team haha

[@Dominicanadaa]

Are they sneaking the betting ads into regular topics now? Lol

[@meowza]

You know its bad in Vancouver when even this show acknowledges that the Canucks exist

[@pathindsley]

23:11 I fully support the hand pass rule. It's a game balancing issue. By forcing the players at the blue line to use their hand to bring the puck into their body and control it, you at least give the defense an opportunity to contest that puck or catch a breath since you can't ice the puck or flip it over the glass anymore. Watching a team make a 6 on 5 stand is one of the best things in a hockey game, but you have to feel like your team has a chance to escape that pressure.

[@AlexandrMTL]

Steve, Morgan Rielly is supposed to catch the puck and drop it to himself. We see this happen all the time in games. Once he has the puck on his stick, he's free to pass the puck to a teammate. That's the point of the rule, it's not stupid.

[@michaelhiltz7846]

But when the person knocking the puck down gets engaged by an opposing player, like Reilly was, and therefore cannot play the puck. As Reilly couldn't because Keller was checking him. This rule does not account for that, and therefore the rule is in fact stupid

[@bluelion1995]

@@michaelhiltz7846 So it was a good defensive play by Keller. He is allowed to do that, even if it is against the Leafs. You are entitled to try and win a game.

[@5minprod]

Yeah, this has always been a rule, I don't understand how you can get that heated about it, like saying "well to stop a breakaway you can only trip the guy; what else is Reilly supposed to do?" (Big leafs fan who was not happy with the call btw)

[@mn05zk]

This guy gets it. He can knock it down with his hand, but then has to play it himself. If he gets engaged by another player, that’s too bad. Right call was made.

[@sg03495]

THANK YOU. I thought I was high. Turns out they are 😂

[@misterritter9854]

This is one Steve rant I'm not in total agreement with. I'm not saying the sequence of events of that particular goal aren't a bit ridiculous under the letter of the rule, but the point of the rule is to discourage players from using their hands. You're supposed to be playing with your stick. Obviously there are going to be times when it's called that aren't necessarily "in the spirit" of the rule, but it's much like the delay of game penalty for clearing it over the glass in that regard.

[@sophiewang1025]

I also don't understand how there can be stupid rules for hockey, a literal game, unless it makes it unnecessarily dangerous. Like, it's a game,.As long as the rules have no real consequences outside of the game, you can literally make up anything you want and it won't be "stupid".

[@elwizschold]

I'm happy I made popcorn, so that the salt from the talk about the hand pass didn't go to waste. ;)

[@jobemi2422]

For Steve’s argument about what Rielly is supposed to do with the puck, he could just play it himself? We see it all the time when a player knocks a puck out of the air to themselves and play goes on. He doesn’t have to either let Keller get possession OR let it go by. For sure there’s an argument about wether Keller touched the puck in the air or deserved a penalty, but acting like Rielly did everything he could is just wrong. If Rielly wins that board battle, or even touches the puck with his stick, it’s a fine play.

[@joer8854]

I agree with you there. I say if they are going to review, call the hand pass and the penalty. Call the calls that should have been made in the play period. Put the clock back to the point where the hand pass or high stick (whichever should be called first) should be called and go from there.

[@kokocaptainqc]

having just seen it once on the highlight, it felt to me that he COULDNT play it himself as the other guy was trying all he could to push him away from the puck once it fell down

[@HIP-HOPOPOTAMUS]

So can Reilly slap the puck along the blueline? Hold the puck in and slap to a teammate? The rule is made to hold the line and play it yourself, not slap the puck around with your hand.

[@jklaas4987]

Let it just sink in that Adam Wylde just said Matthews Marner Nylander aren’t in their prime yet 😂

[@CClark-Gaming]

He's not wrong. NHL players prime is 26-30. Matthews and Marner are 24 or 25. Nylander is like a year older

[@Leafsdude_]

@@CClark-Gaming Defensemen and goalies tend to hit their prime at 26. Forwards tend to hit their prime around 23-24. Their prime tends to last longer, but it starts earlier, largely because it's an easier to play forward at an elite level.

[@carlosp8697]

@@Leafsdude_ Prime is based on physicality... the age a man is at its strongest. Normally prime is anywhere from 24 to 29. It's nothing to do with your skill or how well you understand the game. Some Goalies find success after 30, well past their prime. Their hockey Iq got better but they are no longer in their prime. Everyone ages differently, so prime doesn't start or end the same time for everyone.

[@Marixa1979]

Lol, Leafs fans feel that the goal should have been allowed because it would have made them happy. The idea is that Reilly would play the puck himself prior to a teammate playing it, then it would have been a legal play. Reilly did have a chance to at the same moment Marner grabbed the puck but didn't as Marner was possessing the puck.

[@MrReelio3]

Am I the only one who's basically fine with the no goal call and the rule? Steve's argument of "what can Reilly do?" is silly. He can play it himself, win a battle with the opponent after they play it, or use his body to block the puck exit. It isn't a super power that gives you a free clear if you raise it off the ice, you literally just can't use your hand to pass it. I see guys jump and glove it down all the time legally. I also don't like Steve's argument for a more vague interpretation of the rule. He wants you to be able to hand pass it if you didn't mean to? Like he clearly said that he doesnt want cross ice one timers from a hand pass but he wants refs to somehow determine if someone meant to pass it or if they were just keeping a play alive? Isn't a simpler interpretation of the rule preferable? Otherwise we will have the situation room trying to magically determine the intentions behind playing the puck with the hand instead of just being able to make a call. That would be like saying "well yeah he kicked the puck into the net but clearly he was just trying to kick it into the corner to keep the play alive." It's kinda funny if this play was reversed and the Coyotes got a last minute goal taken off the board, this "controversy" wouldn't even get a 3 second aside in any podcast. I hate how the NHLs rules are only dumb and incomprehensible when they hurt the Leafs, it's just silly.

Jesse brings up a great point: who says Toronto is that team? It's easy to disconnect regular season success from playoff success and chalk it up to chaos or being cursed, but you're at that point where the playoff losses are no longer a small sample size. They're representing something there in the regular season too. The blueline doesn't get enough criticism for its lack of depth even WITH Muzzin.

If the rule was different you could catch the puck and throw it on a teammates tape. The rule is fine how it is imo.

[@BlackMasakari]

i agree, to make the punishment dependant of an injury caused is weird. I remember Evander Kane's suspension last playoffs. So, he boarded Kardi pretty far away from the boards. Lots of boarding calls are from far closer to the boards, which should reduce the reaction time for the player being boarded. But because Kane is a strong man, he gets punished 1 game. Same boarding or closer to the boards, just a minor penalty. Decapulets, you mean, Steve, no ?

The Leafs shouldn’t have put themselves in the situation of being behind with 45 seconds left against the damn Coyotes in the first place.

[@Blades500]

Steve, i have to disagree with you I think the rule makes complete sense. This rule is to prevent players from swiping the puck across the ice to their teammate. It gives that player an unfair advantage because the opposing team all of a sudden cannot do anything, if they try and get the puck from their hands it's a slash. Whenever I look at a bogus call and I critique the rulebook, I ask myself how would I change this rule to a) make it less ambiguous and b) take as much human error out of it as possible. So there's no interpretation or "I don't feel like calling this" effect that most penalties have or don't have. So I ask you 3, how would you change the rule?

[@sebastiencarrieres8825]

You have a very good outlook to things! I think the best way to change the rule to make without contentions for the referee is to say "next player to touch the puck cannot be a teammate." That way, if the opponent takes control of the puck, all is good. But if it's a deliberate pass, it's called.
