There's a difference between a little contact and roughing. Roughing is...

How about boarding? How often is that called?

Boarding? That's when you hit a player in such a way as to drive them into the boards dangerously. I see it once every game or two.

Say the player is standing away from the boards. Driving them into the boards where the principle point of contact of the boards on the player is the player's head and neck is an infraction. If it results in an injury it could be a 5 minute major or even a game misconduct. Suspensions have also occurred for boarding.

 

[SixesAlltheway]

That's quite possible. Psychedelia seems to that effect on me.

That smiley is awesome! And yes, that's what it's like.

 

[SixesAlltheway]

Also with that green slobber?

 

[Moon Child]

Maybe minus that. I'm more classy than that.

Thanks for clearing it up LC. I see the point of the rule definitely. It seems, perhaps to an untrained eye, that they often hammer into the boards around the goal. So I thought the boarding thing was a bit weird

 

[LooseCannon]

Hammering into the boards is okay, but if you do it in a way that endangers the player - that is boarding.

Ha ha alright elegantly tranced?

That seems to fit better.

Good day everyone!!

 

[SixesAlltheway]

I definitely think I dribbled green a little bit when I heard that Beatles cover they did

Good morning, no5!

I could almost fall asleep to that cover. Not in the bad boring way of course.

 

[____no5]

of course not!!

 

[SixesAlltheway]

Morning, 5!

They also look pretty sleepy in that cover. It is amazing that they don't forget to play - so slow it almost stops at times

 

[SixesAlltheway]

But yeah, it is a pretty good tune for drifting away for a minute or two

 

[Moon Child]

Ha! They do look rather sleepy, don't they? Time to go to bed, Deep Purple.

I had to stop listening because I was actually getting sleepy.

 

[____no5]
