No silly idea

 

[dirtydanglez]

is there really a need?

[Dr Pepper]

I mean there sort of is one already..... whoever's shooting can't take forever.

No. ringuette has a shot clock, and all it does is

1) rush plays
2) add more interruption to the flow of the game

Although, in ringuette you could in theory stab the ring and never move - not an issue in hockey.

Perhaps in OT, since 3 vs 3 has a ton of open space

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

No

This has never been issue and should remain unchanged

The theory is one thing.

The reality of … what, going to video review to determine if the puck left the player’s stick one tenth of a second too early or too late deciding if a goal happened or not? Turns my stomach.

 

[Dr Robot]

If I’m understanding this right, during penalty shot/shoot-outs, there needs to be a clock for the shooter? Personally i say no. You need to maintain forward movement already and even the guys who do a few stutter steps don’t seem to take more than maybe 10-15 seconds. I don’t see why it would be necessary to speed that up.

Ugh, that's the last thing we need!

 

[DaveG]

no, there's already a rule where if the puck stops forward momentum it's ruled dead, this isn't like baseball where it could take over a minute between pitches.

 

[NotAVacuumSalesman]

I want Kuznetsov to take an entire period’s worth of time to make up his mind just to shoot low blocker.

 

[Advanced stats]

Really why? Is the 10 extra seconds really that big a deal?

 

[Three On Zero]

You already can’t stop forward momentum, good enough

 

[MichaelFarrell]

Only add a shot clock if you are going to take away all the other rules of a penalty shot.

You can do whatever you want (I.e. wrap around, spin move, etc) but you have like 10 seconds or whatever to do it.

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

Add a defenseman starting from a cold start on the opposite goal line

 

[Hockeyholic]

I can't think of an instance in the NHL where a shooter was warned by the ref to hurry it up.

Just seems like a solution to a non problem

 

[Tob]

Yes, 120 seconds.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Yes. What Kuznetsov does is embarrassing.

 

[Pass the Saitl Sauce]

Yes. What Kuznetsov does is embarrassing.

Watching that in a playoff game was so embarrassing for the game.

Penalty shots and shootouts were supposed to simulate a breakaway, even on a full blown breakaway no player has that amount of time to glide in.

Credit to kuznetsov for deploying a legal move that no goalie ever sees in a game situation nor practices cause wtf is that. In before someone says maybe gaoalies should practice that. But that made me laugh and shake my head seeing that in a playoff game

 

[ijuka]

They should enforce this rule that is in the rulebook: The puck must move forward at all times

 

[BB79]

is there really a need?

Yes. Slow skate-ins are lame

 

[Wasted Talent]

Kuznetsov's penalty shot is about as slow as it gets, and it took roughly 8 to 9 seconds.

What would this 8-9 second limit solve exactly?

 

[Bileur]

No.

If there’s a rule to steal from basketball is the over and back rule (only in overtime). If you exit the offensive zone on purpose with control you lose possession.

I want Kuznetsov to take an entire period’s worth of time to make up his mind just to shoot low blocker.

I want to see him do what he’s doing now, but zig-zag all 85 feet from dasher to dasher, while only advancing the puck a foot each time he crosses the ice, thus taking like 5 minutes to finally get to the net and then shoot right into the goalie’s chest. Then do the birdman on the way back to the bench.
