MrCheatachu Verified Member Posted November 5 Share Posted November 5 Lets take a moment to pause and reflect that Hartman has 4 PIM through 14 games, and I remember one of those being a BS tripping penalty...knock on wood but maybe he's figured something out here. If you break down the wild's PIM it appears they have 3 majors and 33 minors (91 minutes) compared to Philly's 6 majors and 52 minors. I'd take away from this that the wild are playing disciplined. https://www.cbssports.com/nhl/stats/team/team/penalties/nhl/regular/?sortdir=descending&sortcol=pm I'll buy the hit's argument, since they're one of the slowest teams in the league who also can't shoot, if you're not going to body somebody, it's gonna be a long night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FredJohnson Verified Member Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 Did John Hynes Make A Valid Point About Minnesota's Lack Of Toughness? Yep. It is the roster GMBG built. But good thing so many guys are over 200 lbs and over 6 foot tall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnfaninnc Verified Member Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 I don't believe that body checking means you can't be disciplined. Taking the man is a basic hockey skill, doing it in a legal way is exactly what you want. Stopping someone's momentum should be the default defensively. Even big hits can be done with legally, just don't target the head. What really pisses me off are the little ticky tack stick infractions. Sure, you're going to ride you stick up someone else's once in awhile, or get a slash for breaking someone's stick, but the little hooks and lazy trips are horrible. This is where I think Philly is at, undisciplined stick infractions. Mr. Cheatachu, when looking and separating out the majors and minors, were you able to also separate out offsetting penalties? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
