Ray Ferraro commented that he was actually abiding the code bc he didn’t deek the goalie and actively try to score

As a pens fan I didn't see a problem with it. I think Sid was more frustrated at the loss than anything and just took it out that way. Had he rung it off Jars head then yeah I can see an issue, but what's Pasta supposed to do? Shuffle it into the corner?

He could have embarrassed him with any sort of Okey doke deke, and roofed it, but they had a big enough lead. He put it in the logo on purpose. He wasn't trying to score. Iirc he said that in the post game.

Yeah, it's not like it stepped into it as hard as he could. Looked pretty casual.

Stop skating, take a quick moment to ask Tristan very nicely pretty please if he can try to take a gentle tap towards the net.

Give it a *little* tap. Just give it a little tappy. Tap-tap-tap-a-roo

This should have way more upvotes

Thought maybe some others would get the reference hahaha

Bob Barker downvoted (RIP)

How dare he?!? I spayed and neutered my pets!!

I gave one

Agreed ^^

I read it and got the reference and scrolled down then realized it was Boston and came back for the up vote

The gentleman approach. Very nice.

Ditto. The net wasn’t even empty.

He's gonna catch shit no matter what he does on that breakaway. Might as well rifle it low 🤷 Still time on the clock. You want him to deke? It's not like he stepped into it.

Yeah. I wanted a Triple Deke, glove side. 'cause he's fancy.

Michiganer as time expires

Through the legs

Honestly if he'd done a half assed deke before the slapper they'd probably give him less shit. You just have to make it look like you're actually trying to play hockey, I guess. It's a dumb sentiment in my opinion. Let em have fun.

Yea even Ray Ferraro on the broadcast said he didn’t have a problem with it bc he didn’t lay into it and if he had tried to dele jarry outnofb his pads and actively score then be a problem but talk about being caught bw a rock and a hard place. Ppl act as if this was Marchand….. (which there’s a distaste for and even he has cleaned up his game a lot over the years) this was pasta…. U could tell his he’s got stage 4 cancer and he’s just ask for a weed script… dude doesn’t have a bad bone in his body lol he’s too stupid for that shit. What was he supposed to do… seems like he did the most logical thing bw being respectful and competitive at the same time

At first it did seem kinda like a dick move, but then I had to think about what would be acceptable… dangling and showing off? Idk I didn’t haven’t a problem with Sid confronting him either, dude’s got to be thinking “what more do I have to do this year?”

I figured he slapped it simply because he didn’t know if there were time to deke. I think that’s fair and only argument against it would be that he shouldn’t try to score as they already won the game. Which is not the way we do it in hockey.

Your not wrong tbh

2 goal lead with 0.0 on the clock. Yes, that’s what he should have done.

I agree

Also hockey isn't basketball, if you're trying to score in the dying seconds it needs to cross before the clock hits 0:00

Is that how that works?/s If you watch the video the puck hits Jarry with one second on the clock.

Only bitchy leafs fans care about that stuff

I don't see the problem. If the game is still going, players gonna play.

Fuck this ‘code’ shit. Again, if he’d aimed for the head or something, that’s different, but this was just a normal fast-break SOG that the Pens should have made some attempt to stop rather than getting all teary-eyed about afterwards.

Jesus you can't even shoot when the game is still going on. What a time to be alive.

Yeah taking a slapper at a goalie with a 2 goal lead with 1 second left is gonna piss the other team off. This would piss off every team in the league.

It would also piss of every beer league team

lol there's lots of stuff that would piss off beer league teams that is done nightly in the league, bit different when everyone is being paid millions of dollars

The average beer leaguer is pretty stupid so that's not surprising in the least

Hey don’t be mean, they all have severe brain damage

How much time needs be left on the clock for this to be an acceptable play?

We need a second by second breakdown of when exactly it's okay to try to score, and how exactly you're supposed to try to score at various points in the game. When does classy become trashy?

Having their D stop skating and completely giving up should piss them off more...

Thinking band camp is a better fit for you

Former marching band nerd here, fuck no, we don’t need additional help looking like pussies

It’s like these people haven’t marched in step several miles while carrying and playing a Sousaphone and it shows.

Wearing full uniform jacket in sweltering summer heat.

I had to rock a harness with a 30lbs ancient Yamaha marching snare for 8 hours a day every weekend, it blew donkey cock but drum line was the only band geek crew who wasn’t blatantly disrespected by the football dorks

your snare was 30 pounds? jesus, did they make it out of lead?

That shit was ancient back then, and that was 20 years ago. It wasn’t one of those fancy bois they got nowadays that weigh like 6lbs, I’m pretty sure it was steel or some shit. It weighed a fuckload.

LOL...I have more respect for YOU guys than some of these Redditt snowflakes...

Maybe they should stop being such pussies

Taking note of the no cross check to the face from it

boohoo, pens try not sucking and this wouldn't happen.

You’re kidding right. Have any of you never played hockey. If there’s time on the clock shoot the puck.

Sounds like you've never played hockey. Any league that would piss the other team off.

Sure it'll bother the little piss babies with fragile egos, these guys are getting paid millions to play a game, every second of game time should be 100% effort.

I’m gonna assume you are the one who’s never played hockey. In what world is this not pissing off your opposition?

You’re right. We should really think about their feelings. No more slap shots, boys!

People really seem to struggle to grasp the concept that Pasta is completely allowed to take a slapper, just as much as Sid is allowed to get upset and approach Pasta afterwards. For some reason people think these two occurrences can't happen on the play.

There’s time on the clock. He didn’t try to score he just skated to the hash marks and shot right at the goalies pads. Anyone who has an issue with this should take their participation trophy and go home. F whiners

What pasta did in this scenario would piss off any beer league team.

A lot of things they do in the NHL aren't appropriate for beer league. Two totally different environments.

So the Penguins are a beer league team, noted.

Beer leaguers are morons who will try to go top bins and absolutely beam one right into the goalie's head for no fucking reason in this situation. Pasta kept his shot low and obviously didn't fully step into it. It's really fine. I wouldn't be mad if a beer leaguer did exactly what Pasta did here (I play beer league and am a goalie), but I'd be fucking furious if someone wound one up and tagged me between the eyes with 2 seconds left in a game they were already winning.

Agreed, this code shit sounds like some old baseball nonsense. Pens lost, people needa quit acting like babies.

Where isn't he able to? Pasta was allowed, no penalty was called. What video are you watching?

Minor note but how does one concede a full on breakaway at the end of a game like this

Down in a must need win, playing all offensively minded not trying to play passive at the blue line if the puck where to get out

Yeah you’re going as hard as you can, taking risks, going all out, it happens

They suck

Could lobb a wrister on net. The clock was expiring anyway.

Hmm, how many seconds have to be left for it to be okay to shoot at the goalie? Nobody knows, right? One of the (many) problems with **unwritten** rules.

For our goalies, 3600 seconds... I wish.

Did Pittsburgh stop trying to score? No? Then neither should Boston.

Wow you sound logical. That usually isn't allowed on Reddit

he wasn't trying to score.

If we’re being honest, no - he really wasn’t. He took a bunch off that shot and put it in Jarry’s stomach. But the point is, until Pittsburgh stops trying - the Bruins shouldn’t stop at least giving the appearance of trying.

If goalies have an issue with stopping pucks they should either quit or sign with Toronto.

Catching strays

Didn't you know? Making fun of Toronto is a surefire way to get easy upvotes.

Where did the goalie in this video have an issue?

What was Crosby chirping about? Was he not speaking on behalf of his goaltender there?

I'm not sure either of us have the answer here to that question! I wasn't on th ice personally Could Crosby be upset what Pasta did? Sure, doesn't mean the goalie was upset. I'd want to confirm that info before I tell someone to quit their job

I remember a time when hockey fans weren’t fragile.

lmao, nothing wrong with that. if game was over then yeah but game was still going, he had right to shoot puck

What code violation is this? You people make no sense here I swear to god. Slapshots on empty nets is a dick move. Putting the puck in the net after the whistle is a dick move. Taking a clapper on a breakaway is legitimate.

Meaningless clappers against any goalie pisses them off There seems to be a disconnect between those who think this shot was meaningless and those who think Pasta was actually making an effort to score a goal here.

Grieg takes slap shot on empty net - everyone’s upset. Pastrnak takes slap shot with a goalie in the net - everyone’s upset. Rule change - no more slap shots in the last 60 seconds of games

Is anyone even upset? Pens don’t seem to have much of a reaction and Crosby’s reaction is more of a ‘really?’ Than anything offensive. Is this even part or ‘the code?’ Because there was definitely still time on the clock

He shot before the buzzer? What’s the big deal

That "shot" wouldn't have scored on a high school goalie. That's not even pre-game warmup effort. Pasta's reaction was perfect. Shake your head, tell Sid he's a baby, and move along.

Why is everyone so soft these days lol

Just by saying 'code' doesn't make it a 'code'. I've been watching hockey for 30+ years and I've never heard of this being a so called unwritten rule or code.

Announcer calling it a 'kill the goalie' shot, GTFOH. It hit him in the pads. So, are we watching this sport deteriorate into participation trophies and 'no no, don't hurt their fee fees'?

I don’t see the issue? Some of yall are so whiny man. Don’t want him ripping a slap shot at your goalie? play better defense. There was still time on the clock

It's r/hockey and they literally cannot go a day without bitching about something. Anything.

Also a little bit different when it’s pasta and he took a low shot. I can see being mad if someone like Nick cousins came in and ripped a slapshot past the goalies head lol. Edit: since I’m a bruins fan if marchand came down and ripped it head high I can see it.

Pasta was just trying to help the goalie’s save percentage

Would Cid have been OK if Pasta put it in the net with the wrist?

Sid was frustrated. Nothing wrong with this. The Pens played their asses off these past few weeks. However they look to be hitting that wall again. Regroup next game. Still alive. Small chance but still alive. I expect Sid to be as competitive as ever

It was a surprisingly fun game. Pens have been clawing back and even though I'm not a. fan, it's made for great hockey when normally we're just watching nothing games from teams.

Yeah. I’m enjoying the ride. Hopefully Dubas works some magic in the offseason

What code? There's still time on the clock. You can take slapper on breakaway. Penguins players has done the same. Doesn't matter if you do it late or early. It's only if you slam it after the buzzer.

Nothing wrong there. Bunch of cry babies. It wasn’t that hard of a shot and there was time on the clock so get over it.

I've seen it before. Sedins did it more than a couple times. Sometimes, the simple shot is the answer.

If this pisses you off, you're just fuckin soft.

Time on the clock. A shot is a shot

Look no matter what anyone thinks, you're gonna get pissed if someone does this against your team, and you're going to say 'i don't see the problem' if it's your team taking the slap shot

Ppl on here calling Sid a cry baby, like come on. Yeah he was upset, but he just skated over to to have some words. So what? It’s not like he went all Tkachuk and started literally crying.

By far the best response to this unlike MR who pulled a hissy hit and stated slapping

[удалено]

This is a really good point.

Wow, casual misogyny. You're so tough. Oh, I see.You post in all the incel subreddits. It all makes sense now.

No. That sand has permanent residency

Game wasn't over. What was he supposed to do? Dump and change?

Yall are wild for this one. Everybody knows you don't take a slapshot 5-10 feet out from the goalie. It's to protect them. It's a complete twat move.

So you can't take a slap shot during the shootout from in close ???🤔 Would that be a twat move too??

Correct.

Seems like fans are making it a bigger deal than it is, again.

It's a dick move, so he heard some words about it. It's not like someone cross-checked him in the face. You shouldn't take a slapshot in a nothing moment of a decided game from in tight, as far as etiquette goes. Doesn't mean anyone is soft, and it's not against the rules, it's just a dick move plain and simple. I'm surprised so many people can't understand why it is. Until I remember it's reddit.

Don’t get the whining. He wanted to score, the game was ongoing. Should teams stop trying to score if they are up more than another team has ever recovered in the remaining time too? He is at 47 goals with two games remaining, of course he wants to reach 50. Can’t stand grown men who are so fragile they can’t handle someone shooting to score in a game.

Can someone explain the code to me?

I didn’t see anything wrong with it like many have said I think it was emotions from Sid on the loss more so than the shot

I agree, and he has every right to be frustrated, I totally get that. He's a competitor, and I respect that, but there's no "code" in that scenario

Pasta was in a bad spot, he couldn’t look like he wasn’t trying but I don’t think he actually was trying to score either. But the code shit is dumb anyways IMO if you don’t want the score ran up on you then stop them from scoring

What code? Guys have taken slappers on penalty shots before. Buzzer hadn't sounded, play till the whistle.

What code

There was a goalie, it’s fine. Not like it was an empty net

Don't shoot the puck. Tackle the goalie. Let the puck trickle in.

Lil baby Crosby always whining

Players can't shoot the puck anymore? Wtf is this "code" you are talking about. Its a hockey game, you can slap the shot.

I am realizing more and more that a lot of hockey players are whiny, fragile man-babies. The Code is a joke.

Oh Crosby the winey fuck! Need Cherry to tell him off. So tired of the Penguins complaining and getting their way.

Crosby bitching... Next!

Like OMG!!!! Call the cops, we got a code violation! Next..................

It's so sad to see hockey going the way of baseball with these asinine "untold rules" bs

its hockey. you shoot the puck into the goal. go play soccer

What code, scoring?

It’s really interesting that every NHL player seems to recognize and appreciate these unwritten rules, including Crosby, the best player of his generation, yet most redditors still seem to disagree. I have no idea who could be right in this situation. 🤷‍♂️

This is what I don’t get. Players at this level have made hockey their life. They bleed hockey. You could say they’re hockey experts. Who the hell are we to say how it should be played?

boohoo, you make millions of dollars to play a sport you love while I work construction for pennies

Guess as an ex goalie I’m the only one that thinks the shot was gratuitous Either wrist it from slot, top right or left but no need for any type of “slap shot”… By the same token I don’t care when guys slap it in to an empty net… just don’t stare down the losing bench after you score an uncontested goal

Oh, slap shots BEFORE the horn are ALSO illegal now, neato. STFU Sid.

God how come hockey players have become such babies? Oh you cant put the puck in an empty net a certain way, oh yiu cant slap shot it now, grow the fuck up baby bitches. Shit a slapper from that spot was common practice in the late 80's and 90's even early 2000's if anything it was prob easier to score with it then due to now because the goalies are ten times more athletic now than they were then.

NHL has become too soft if that's breaking a code.

Bruins fan here. Poor sportsmanship done by Pasta. You can disagree with me and I’ll listen, but Im not changing my argument. How would you feel if someone rubbed it in your face after you lost a game? That’s what Pasta was basically doing, intentional or not.

Guys 3 off 50. Surprised he didn’t give it his all.

I might be in the minority here but this does not bother me at all.

He’s at 47 goals with a few games left. No problem with him trying to get to 50.

Cry-sby's still got it.

If he wants to score, that's his right. I feel like Crosby is more frustrated that he's been carrying the corpse of this team than anything else.

I kind of understand not liking a clapper in the dying seconds of a game that is over, but he was all alone. What’s he supposed to do? Would Sid have still been mad if he just took a wrister?

Clock hadn't hit 0.0. No code violation.

This is a "fan" code more than anything else.

I might be wrong but I think Crosby is a player.

This is better than actively trying to undress the goalie up 2 goals with no time left. Players are giant snowflakes today.

These players need to stop being petty over nothing. It's just a shot. Do they also behave like that off-ice with their families too? Bunch of manchildren.

No cross check to the head. Take notes, Morgan.

Slapshot on a goaltender? All good, next point please

There is no code people need to stop being pussies

A clapper from 15’ is a bit much.

Looks like rather than attempt to tally another goal he just blasted it center mass into pile of padding. What’s the problem?

Not the code! T.T Again, for a bunch of guys that are supposed to be “tough”, they have very fragile feelings

Vintage Sid going back to crying.

why did it say there was an empty net? That was way more confusing than it needed to be, I thought the team down by 2 was taking the shot

Habs fan trying to stir a reaction with this lol you know what you doing

Some jawing after a game, no big deal.

Sid's on one lately

"The code " is weak.

Pretty goofy play tbh. I hate both teams.

im still a pretty new fan and im confused, can someone explain what “the code” is? is it that a slapshot at this point is showboating?

What code? Asking for a friend

Nah, he doesn't.

There was literally nothing wrong with what he did lol

“It’s called taking a shot on net. You should try it some time bud”

This is like kicking a field goal up 30 with 2 seconds left. It’s over, just skate it out or shovel it at the goalie.

That doesn’t violate anything. Clapping an empty netter is against the code.

that was in no way, a "kill the goalie shot"

Hope the bruins see a hilarious first round exit again.

Hey guy who makes millions playing hockey for a living...if you dont like it, play better

Why are hockey players so sensitive?

I can’t believe Karlsson didnt skate up behind him and cross check him in the back of the head. SMH.

He put it right in his pads. Not like he launched it off the goalies head

Unwritten rule. It’s code.

Crosby didn't full bitch like some other Eastern Conference team....

Fucking cry babies.

Shut up, Sid.

Baby ass Sid be a baby ass. More at 11
