New rule on jersey's

[BOSSMANPC]

This new rule that you get a warning then a penalty is going to be a disaster ! Some players are saying their skating style tucks the jersey in by itself. Tyler Ennis talked about this on HNIC the other night, with him being short when he lowers down and drives for the puck his jersey tucks in when he stands upright again.

This is another jackass penalty that is going to get called in a crucial game and lead to a goal and then the shit is going to hit the fan. Does anyone know what the purpose of this rule is?

Yep, what is he supposed to do when it happens like this during a play?

Hockey Spanx will be needed

There is speculation that the NHL is planning to put ads on that area of the jersey and obviously they want the ads to be present at all times.

Why don't they just increase the length of the jerseys by another foot or so?

There, science solves another problem.

Thanks for finding that. What's he going to do keep reaching back and make sure it's not tucked in? I'm sure he's not the only guy that's going to have problems with this.

Actually I think it was puck, but I have seen some respected hockey bloggers saying that they think this is the reason for the rule and it's only a matter of time.

Jersey tuck rule: If NHL wants ads on backs, just say so

John Garrett used to wear gigantic jerseys, as it had a better chance to cover more of the 5 hole.

As I recall, it didn't help all that much puck

Rob Ray wore a huge jersey too because it was that much easier for him to shrug out of it when his opponent tangled it up.

I remember reading one year that he wore a larger jersey than the goaltenders.

Yep, That's why they came up with the "Rob Ray Rule" that stops the players from taking them off during a fight.

I "slightly" understand if you want to fine the player. The fact that it will be a minor penalty is absolutely god damned effing moronic.

I don't see how the NHLPA will let this one slide. Makes no sense what so ever. God I hate that some idiots are in charge of this great game


1st post in a long time for me, but I had to let off some steam about this new rule.
