What are the slapshots, winners, and fails of the week in the NHL?
It's the hockey show. That's Dave. That's Ethan. Rosie is not here. She's at the Super Bowl. That's it. All right. So let's go to slap shots really quickly. Let's go. All right. Hot takes.
Dave. Hot takes. All right. Well, hi. Welcome to the show. Hey. Good to be here. How you doing? My hot take. Earlier this week, Ricard Raquel and the Penguins, they were playing the Devils. He had one goal disallowed right there that he kicked in the net. Yeah. That goal did not count. Later in the game, he accidentally kicked the puck in his own net. That goal did count. Yeah. So my hot take is if it's not in the crease and it's not dangering to the goalie with you kicking your feet around, why can't that be legal?
Because it's an own goal. No, no.
Why can't a player try to kick the puck in from anywhere on the ice? If it's legal to deflect it off his skate, why can't he just kick it? If it's a safety thing outside of the crease, that's fine. And this comes from a goalie. What's the problem? It's not soccer.
You should have to use your stick. Yeah, it's not soccer. You should have to use your stick to push the puck. I'm not saying you should try to, but I'm saying it shouldn't be illegal.
You can't bat the puck in with your glove either. It can bounce off your torso. It can bounce off your leg. Well, it's a little different. I think hand-eye coordination. You can't make that sweeping motion. No.
I don't know, man. I think it might be a little fun.
That's the other thing. Fun. I mean, you can deflect it off the skate. Yeah, that's legal. So why can't you just kick it in?
Here's my question. In soccer, if you score an own goal, you get credited for a goal. Why don't they do that in hockey?
Well, you get credited for an own goal. It doesn't count towards your goal total. No, I know that. It's an error. It's in the E column.
No, but on the stat column, it comes up like Carter Verhage in one of the Rangers games last year. He shot the puck and it went in off a stick. He got credited for the goal. That's not how it should be. Carter Verhage should not get credit for that goal. The defender should be credited for an own goal. That's not how it works, though. In soccer, it works that way.
What are the arguments for changing own goal rules in hockey?
You know the reason why they do that, though, Ethan? No, I don't. Goaltenders. Goaltenders. That's why. Goaltenders, if they're the last to touch the puck, and all of a sudden there's an own goal that happens, the goaltender is credited with the goal. You know, the opposing goaltender.
I don't need another anti-goal stat attached to my goaltending stats. I don't need own goals attached to my goals against average. Enough of you and your goalie fraternity.
No, no, no. We're talking about goaltenders scoring goals, actually. Not own goals, but actual goals credited to them. Because if they made the save, and all of a sudden there's an own goal on every net.
Yeah, like the first ever goal credited to a goaltender, Billy Smith.
Correct.
He didn't shoot it in the net. He made a save and then Colorado Rockies shot it into their own net. That's correct. That's pretty much why that is. All right, so that's my hot take. Clearly nobody agrees with me.
No, clearly.
Roy, what's your hot take?
All right, Ryan Hartman got suspended for 10 games for this. Now, this type of stuff should not be in the game. And what he did looked like something out of the WWE. It looked like something out of AEW, TNA as well. I mean, Ryan Hartman basically, Did his best Jake the Snake Roberts impression and gave a DDT to Tim Stusler. He's lucky he didn't get hurt worse because that came down right in his neck.
