When does the hilarious part start, I have watched it twice and can't figure it out?

That is great...Philly exposing TB and thier boring style. NHL games are boring and this Zone hockey is killing hockey. I laughed. It's the only good thing Philly has ever did.

Maybe it isn't "hilarious" but it is pretty funny to see Philly essentially giving TB a big FU.

I see it more as is;

Philly: They are playing a boring ass hockey game and we are calling them out.

I think it actually sucks, that is what the NHL has become.

The situation sucks because there will be a bunch of the old guard that will be against any changes. Even Bob McKenzie in that video was being hesitant about the NHL needing to do something about it. The trap is definitely hindering the game right now.

Re: I hate Philly but this is HILARIOUS

barnaby was ripping philly, all night on twitter, for making a joke out of the game. But, shouldnt tampa carry as much of the blame for not even attempting some form of forecheck, and just allowing it to happen.... honestly i think this looks worse on Tampa than it does for Philly, TB just sat back and allowed Philly to do that in their own stadium... i'm sure that made the fans happy and willing to continue to spend money on tickets to games

The trap has been hindering the game of hockey for years.

Re: I hate Philly but this is HILARIOUS

"Illegal defense" was stupid when they called it in the NBA and it will be just as stupid if they start calling it in the NHL.

First, if you don't like the trap, find a way to beat it. Don't complain that the other team has a way to shut you down because it's "boring." Each team is responsible for figuring out how to score on their opponents.

Second, if the trap is outlawed, it will be yet another call where the ref has too much discretion. And we all know which end of discretion calls Buffalo sports teams end up on....

Re: I hate Philly but this is HILARIOUS

What about making it legal to ice when you reach your blueline? Gain your blueline, dump it in and start your forecheck.

Re: I hate Philly but this is HILARIOUS

want to kill the trap, change the icing rule from the red line to from your own zone

But, they did this on national TV too, so basically they showed the nation and any newcomers how boring hockey is.
