In & out doesn't count ? That's crazy.... but now that I think about it I don't think we counted it either ? Who knows it was 50 years ago lol
( thanks for the memories and btw.... great series you guys have some mad skillz ✌😎)

[@danfors1333]

I think reason in and out doesn't count is to avoid arguments if the puck was in or hit the posts. Sometimes it's too quick to see. If it stays in then it's definite 100% goal. Removing puck on edge of goal line with hand instead of goalie is to avoid boring time consumption of slow careful goalie handling and there's also the risk of attacking player cheating by nudging the table to tilt the puck in.

I must ask, why does the person in blue (carlson) do that sorta puck flip thing whenever he's at the corner?

[@danfors1333]

Just the same as bouncing the ball before serving in tennis, just to get the right feel and it becomes a habit. A bit annoying to watch but a habit that is even more annoying is the constant unnecessary tapping on player heads. I think there should be rules against it because it takes away the flow of the game and it's annoying having opponents hands all over the ice every time he wins the puck.

​@@danfors1333 is it really necessary to even touch the heads of the players, like seriously I don't see any unusual to the players looking off they all seem to look and play just right....

[@danfors1333]

@@faceduro6719 yeah I agree with you. The standard type of players usually fits good enough to stay in position. If they feel lose its easily fixable with a small piece of tape on the knob but for some reason its never done in competition.
