NFL needs to figure out this replay assist vs. challenge thing ASAP

[Shane Frederick @puckato]

@BrandonMileski Especially when the ball is still in the QB’s hands.

[Shane Frederick @puckato]

Why no replay assist? Why a challenge?

[Shane Frederick @puckato]

Might be better that I’m in Japan for this one.

[Shane Frederick @puckato]

Two amazing hockey games … and then this garbage.

[Shane Frederick @puckato]

I’m all for Van Gundy explaining how that’s “not a playoff foul” while Ant was complaining. But to stay silent on a pair of ticky-tack fouls at the other end right after that? Come on.

[Shane Frederick @puckato]

Love this. Of course, it was pre-NIL.

[Hoop Herald @TheHoopHerald]

More young players should have this mentality when it comes to transferring

[Shane Frederick @puckato]

@BrianHalverson @espn @ESPNRefNHL Something about Hartman tying up the Vegas player’s stick and that player reacting to that, I guess?

[Shane Frederick @puckato]

So if you get careless with your stick, hit someone in the face and draw blood, it’s 4 minutes. If you deliberately cross-check someone in the face and draw blood, you play on? Got it.

[Shane Frederick @puckato]

Let’s bring in our rules analyst to speculate about what kind of injury the linesman suffered. Huh?

Per the story: “According to NHL Stats, since 1927, when the Stanley Cup was competed for solely by NHL teams, there have been 151 players who made their NHL debut in the playoffs.” …

I’ll add: One of those players was @Ryan_Carter22 and it’s why his name is on the Stanley Cup.

SECOND-team All-American? Wow.

Tracy Named AHCA/CCM All-American #TheBest

📒: https://t.co/ReZCnlURfE

[Shane Frederick @puckato]

And if you’re saying, but the CCHA … Tracy’s nonconference stats were almost as consistent as his overall numbers: 5-4-0, 2 shutouts, .941, 1.49 (overall 26-9-3, 5 shutouts, .946, 1.42)

[Shane Frederick @puckato]

Undersized, non-NHL prospect goalie from Minnesota State with the best numbers in the country loses out on the Richter Award. #evergreentweet

[Shane Frederick @puckato]

Well, he certainly wasn’t the studio guys’ pick just now.

[Alex Micheletti @AlexMicheletti]

It will be crazy if @MinnStMHockey goalie Alex Tracy Doesn’t win the Mike Richter award, had the best goalie numbers by far #HornsUp

[Shane Frederick @puckato]

@AndreRueda37 Really? Rhett Pitlick in that category, Andre?

[Shane Frederick @puckato]

Mavericks fans absolutely hating on the portal right now, yet the CCHA's best F and 4 more of their top 7 scorers and second-best D (and another regular D) were transfers this season. It cuts both ways.
