Lazy Cartoon Friday: Hybrid Icing

PrintHappy Friday, everyone! I don't really know much about what hybrid icing is or how likely it is that it gets implemented into the NHL anytime soon (feel free to discuss that or any other potential rule change in the comments), but that doesn't mean that I'm not going to draw a corny cartoon or two about it. Besides, it's been a while since I went back to the ol' Duck - King - Shark cartoon setup:
I'm actually kind of unhappy with how this Prius turned out, considering I drive one.
Okay, that's somewhat lame and not at all educational, but it could have been worse. I could have gone all nerdy and made a Battlestar Galactica joke about it...
End of line.
Well, whatever -- happy Friday anyways. :)
Go Ducks.

ugh… nhl and changing hockey rules is a very, very scare combination…
It gives a linesman the discretion to blow his whistle and stop the play if he believes a defending player will reach the puck first. If the linesman believes the attacking player has a chance to reach the puck first, he keeps his whistle in his pocket and lets the race to the puck play out.
yes, more games potentially decided by the refs is exactly what hockey needs!

Yeah, it has the potential it seems to be very sketchy — I can certainly see how some icing injuries might get avoided, but I think the really dangerous plays will still get to go through, and plus we may add some confusing injuries when players stop skating but a referee interprets it as a “play on” footrace.
Who knows? Will definitely need to see some it before I can truly comment on it, but it seems a bit difficult to explain. Like most of hockey rules these days. :|

someone should inform NHL that “Keep it simple, stupid” is a very valuable life lesson
i really would like to watch hockey and fully understand what’s going on without having to have some 1000+ page rule book next to me so i can check what they can and can’t do this season…

I watch a ton of NHL hockey and these days I already have trouble predicting which missed passes will be called for icing — before the lockout, I think I had a much stronger handle on it.
As it is now, I can explain the icing rule OK to new hockey watchers, but only in principle. My explanation doesn’t always seem to hold throughout a full game.

This has always really bothered me. It seems like right after the lockout they were waving it off a lot and I really liked it, but now they kind of reverted back to the old rule. Did it change?

If the forward is in the lead, proceed!
If the d-man is ahead, blow it dead!

the thing is, who can decide in which case the forward can’t catch the d-man? because if it’s automatically game stop when d-man is ahead, the refs will have (and the rule) will effect to the result of game quite a lot. or then they’re given the chance to decide if the forward can catch the d-man and we all know how it goes when refs get to decide things… it will be screwed up

BSG references FTW!
Gary Bettman will lead theNHL to its end. He is the herald of the apocalypse, the harbinger of death. They must not follow him.

I don't know BSG very well
so when I read the second cartoon (without reading your intro), I thought it was an Altered States reference. I gotta admit I’m a little crestfallen after realizing it wasn’t.

The Hybrid sounds exactly like the gibberish in the current NHL rulebook. Of course! Why didn’t I see that before! HAHA.

Exactly… just what the fuck is “hybrid” icing anyway?
Is there really any problem with the NHL’s current icing rules?
Denis Gauthier sucks at hockey... and life.

Only apparently when it comes to Torrey Mitchell. Maybe if the NHL just called this “Torrey Icing”, it’d be easier to accept.

I hate how everything has to have a “green” label. Oooo look the NHL is soooo edgy they are using a newfangled term.
Why not call it just plain “proposed icing” plan. Then when/if it is changed just call it “icing”.
Let's go Ducks.
Why not call it just plain "proposed icing" plan. Then when/if it is changed just call it "icing".
So at the point the puck crosses the faceoff dots, the linesman submits a “proposed icing” if he feels the offensive player could still get there first. Next it goes in front of a judiciary committee. If the defender touches the puck, the proposed icing becomes a ratified icing, where it is added to the scroll of injustices. If the scroll floats, then the icing stands. :)

Oh yeah, I forgot to link it, but I also finally did a summer cartoon request for Anaheim Calling as well, featuring Joffrey Lupul.

They should just leave the rules alone, you don’t see the NBA, MLB, or NFL attempting rule changes during every off season. The game is fine the way it is, injuries are inevitable when you’re playing such a fast high paced sport, why give the refs more opportunity to mess up calls? Players know how to brace themselves for an impact and these icing injuries are extremely rare and the onus should be on the players to not put themselves in or take advantage of another player in a vulnerable position.
Actually, all those sports tweak the rules. MLB maybe the least, but they’re pretty conservative about that sport (at least until they go bonkers and introduce the DH for only half the teams, or make the All Star game outcome directly impact their championship).
NFL: coaches challenges, “football plays” when considering fumbles
NBA: illegal defenses, paint violations
MLB: replays for home runs
I thought it was a good idea to look at new ways of doing things. I’m not sure about the new icing rules, but it’s good that they are looking in to different ideas. Something that I thought was kind of interesting was moving the face off dot in both teams zones to the middle of the ice rather then off to the sides. Or not allowing the penalty kill to clear the puck. It would be called icing, rather then just letting them clear it. Not saying it would work or that I would like it when it was implimented, but it’s interesting.
I'm against sigs......Fuck.
I personally like the “make the net not as deep” change to give players more room behind the net. These guys are so big now that that extra 4 inches can make a huge difference. There’s no real need to have the net so deep. They can always add a bit more slack in the net so that the puck doesn’t come flying out too fast.
Man, if they call icing on the team defending a PP, that would basically make power-plays almost sure goals. But I wonder if it wouldn’t have some unintended consequences. I mean, if things were getting hectic down low, I would take the icing call just to rest up a few seconds and get back everyone back into position.
exactly
if they make that rule, expect a ton of icing calls, which will slow down the game. which will make it more boring. which will have the opposite of the intended effect.

Very much like the fat blue zone by the players bench for line changes. Not letting a new player jump into the play off the bench when he has a window will cut down on some breakaways at the risk of what? Squirts dont even need a blue zone by the bench.
how bout getting rid of the sharks franchise?…get rid of those boring predictable playoff outcomes

You have to admit it is entertaining to see how quickly they run away from each other.
The only thing better than having to get up at 6 am on Saturday is being awake at this hour on the Friday before. Bleh…

I’d hate to see what a Ref around the Rim cartoon would look like.
