Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
So does the rule about the player stopping no longer exist?
Usually when the spin move is tribe the player still has some forward momentum so it doesn't technically count as stopping. But Raymond there did a full stop. Posted via RS Mobile
he also started momentum the other way. guess the refs gave us a break for once

Granted the puck never stopped, Raymond came to a stop and even went backwards a bit.

the hell, first day watching shootouts or something?
Why do some of you guys sound like you've never seen Raymond (or any player) do the spinorama move before??
I used to beat a dead horse about how "cheap" this move was from a goalies pov.
but I don't really care anymore. Plus, I think Smith stopped it last season. (and I analyzed that replay 100 times)
and it's legal because the official rule states that only the puck needs to maintain continues motion.
maybe i'm asking too much, but i'm not sure if i am still satisfied with tonight's win. Seems like ever since the cup run, Nucks has been winning games by a thread via shootout.
The official rule is something like the puck has to be in continuous motion, but not necessarily in a forward direction I believe.
If you really want to get technical, when you stick handle, everytime the puck moves back and forth, there is technically a split second where the motion of the puck is stopped before it can go in a different direction. You can also do a toe drag and pull the puck backwards yet it would still be a legal move.
I would say the puck can stop its forward motion IF the player/play continues in a forward motion. And the player can stop its forward motion IF the puck/play continues in a forward motion.
My thing on Spin-O-rama's is that they should have to continue in one fluid motion from spin to shot. If the player does a spin, and then stops and/or stick handles and then shoots, it should not count. I think Burrows' spin a while back shouldn't count since he stick handled the puck while standing stopped after his spin. Had he did his spin and turned and fired, I think it woulda been Ok. But the league said it woulda been OK. so that one and a few others sort of show you can do whatever you want. Has there even been a goal from a spin denied yet? I guess no ref wants to be the first to deny one.
The puck must be kept in motion towards the opponent’s goal line and once it is shot, the play shall be considered complete.
The purpose of this is so people don't skate backwards toward the other side of the rink and back-peddle after they begin skating toward the goalie.

The spin-o-rama type move where the player completes a 360° turn as he approaches the goal, shall be permitted as this involves continuous motion.
This move is legal as it's regarded like a toe-drag where the puck does move backwards, but the player still has full possession of the puck.
As well, the player that's spinning doesn't skate "backward". They are simply pivoting.
Burrows attempt on 2nd look, is actually very legal.
As the puck never once stopped. And as a bonus, it even continued forward... very slowly.
A shot was never taken prior to Burrow's spin, so he was still good to stick handle and shoot.
