Damn. The sharks can find guys like Karrlsson and neito to fill a fourth line roll. We get Vandevelde and white.

Was that first gif offside?

Bet weal got an earful for making a skill play to have the puck carried in while structure got an atta boy for chasing

Umberger really can't be faulted there. Weal really didn't make the right play, that's why Umberger went offsides.

Oh yeah, can't blame Umberger. Totally Weal's fault. Chases down loose puck, has two guys coming onto him, hits a wide open Laughton with a nifty pass, Umberger beats the puck in by a good 6 feet.

(frank)ing Weal. Waive him now.

The reason why Umberger is skating hard ahead because he knows the right play for Weal is a dump in. Umberger is going to skate hard to get in on the forecheck, as he is ahead of the play there. That is the percentage play in that situation. Hockey is situational. A spin around back hand pass horizontally through the neutral zone is a very dangerous play, whether it connected or not, and you can bet that the coaching staff told him about it. The author showed his lack of knowledge of the game, by questioning Umberger's hockey sense. Umberger has been playing in the NHL a long time, and he knows what the play is. But hey, let's ignore the fundamentals of the game, and just pick on the team's official scapegoat, because he went offsides in a very fast game.

I hope he gets a check from Umberger, MacDonald & Schultz for being that flexible in explaining their stupidity

To be fair, he said "that is the percentage play." He never mentioned what percentage he was referring to

I wish I could get paid for breaking down simple plays to people, and explaining why a player went offsides. There would be plenty of opportunity to make some money!

Yeah blame the guy that made the skill play, that should have resulted in a 2 on 1 and ignore that Umberger wasn't aware enough to take a look & see

Look, man, if you want to learn hockey then it might be a good idea to pay MJL to go over these things with you.
