First off, a ref would have had to specifically seen which player did it and I'm not sure if anyone really noticed. Also, shooting the puck over the glass when it is not in play out of frustration would not (I believe) lend itself to a suspension... If anything it would have at most been a misconduct (which did not happen to that player and is why I don't think any of the refs really noticed until they looked for the puck and could not find it). Even if it was brought up to the league that someone got hit in the face as a result, I doubt there would be any video evidence available to prove that it did in fact happen (and as everyone knows in the world of sports, if it was not caught on video, it did not happen). Generally the cameras are not focused on the crowd (especially in the corner where it happened) and even if there was a camera facing that direction, I doubt you could see exactly what happened because everyone around the person was standing up and celebrating. I sit high behind the net on that side and watched the puck flying into the crowd and (at the time) I did not think it hit anyone (let alone in the face). I did see people moving around, but I just thought they were looking for the puck.<br /><br />Also, in regards to the nickname for Sam Mckechnie... I know players normally don't go by their fist names, but if you are looking to shorten it up for the sake of the blog, there is nothing shorter than just calling him Sam (as long as you use his full name the first time you make reference to him in a post as well... I know we don't have any other Sam's on the team, but it would be for people who do not have all the players first names memorized... And it is most important now since he is still "new" to the team).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15414294526773945314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761720971433980858.post-13609448186467404272013-10-31T11:14:06.786-07:002013-10-31T11:14:06.786-07:00I think the Power Play has actually looked pretty ...I think the Power Play has actually looked pretty dangerous and there has been a game or two where they have scored right after a penalty has expired.<br /><br />If you add just 2 goals to their total their % jumps to 21.53 and puts them middle of the pack.<br /><br />It's something to watch for sure but I don't know that I would term it a problem yet.<br /><br />I do think they are giving up WAY too many PPs themselves, so I think you're spot on there. They've had 65 PP chances and surrendered 79. For comparison: Portland 84/80, Kelowna 75/58, Everett 65/53.<br /><br />I don't think that scenario is sustainable to success. In fact... good idea, I might write an article on this.Thunnexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13789566664956835210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761720971433980858.post-21691921503928414942013-10-30T19:54:39.120-07:002013-10-30T19:54:39.120-07:00You might get away with taking penalties against a...You might get away with taking penalties against average teams, but against Portland, Everett and Spokane, not so fortunate. Plus, this team needs to work on the power play. How about "planting" Elliot in front of the net?

Not sure. From the postgame video replay it didn't look like he shot the puck into the crowd.<br /><br />After the empty net goal, you can see Roy just randomly shove the net off its pegs. That got him the 10. Kind of humorous actually.Thunnexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13789566664956835210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761720971433980858.post-74723676320454537542013-10-30T10:43:21.120-07:002013-10-30T10:43:21.120-07:00Good write up.

After we scored our last goal one of the Brandon players shot the puck into the crowd and hit a guy in the face. Will that be looked at by the whl for suspension? There was a penalty handed out on that goal, was that it? Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
