smozoma Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 2 Min - 53 Min - 4 4 Min - 1 I kinda like the sound of calling the penalty "Injuring" instead of "Boarding" because thats more descriptive of what the penalty actually is. Haha, I like it, "injuring." Boarding didn't make much sense, since it's almost always an open-ice hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaDonch44 Posted October 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 Yeah there are only 8 letters available for the name of the penalty and I'm not sure I can allocate more for it. So I'm just going to name it "Injuring." I think it has a nice ring to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 For the record, looking at the votes right now, picking 2 minutes because it has the most votes wouldn't exactly be right. 3 and 4 minutes should almost be counted together, as clearly the people choosing those ones want a longer than usual penalty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan...? Remember its not really the poll itself its the posts with a response that are going to count in these polls. (In hindsight I should have left the polls off and just asked for posts.)

Logan Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 I posted back on the first page, and basically voted 4. But you can pretty much switch that to a 3. After playing around a bit, 4 minutes is too long for a 5 minute period. 3 however works fairly well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan...?Remember its not really the poll itself its the posts with a response that are going to count in these polls. (In hindsight I should have left the polls off and just asked for posts.) True, the question could be restated as 1 minute 2 minutes more than 2 minutes then vote again on 3 minutes vs 4 minutes, if the 'more than' option wins. same kind of thing for the draft format -- '100% snaking' vs 'not 100% snaking (could be 100% non-snaking, or a hybrid)' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IAmFleury'sHipCheck Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 I voted 1 min b/c i think injuries should be more of a celebration due that it doesn't happen all that much. But most of all I don't want 3 or 4 mins, that is completely ridiculous. So it doesn't look like 1 min is going to win out here so put me down for 2 mins.

I'm voting 1 minute as well so we still have a chance. I don't see why people would want it as a longer penalty though, injuring someone in NHL 94 is a GOOD thing. Of course, in the real NHL it's not, but this is a video game, so it's an exception. Vote 1 minute! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's something I didn't even think people would consider seeing that the periods are only 5 mins. But ultimately I would like to see 1 min win overall.

Ah, yet another rule to try to make everything nice, fair and even-Steven in the land of NHL. Those kinds of injuries don't happen that often. The more likely situation that happens (at least when I play) is that a player gets injured for a period with 30 ticks left in that period. Now that player who received the penalty should go away for 3 mins???? That's so illogical, it makes my brain hurt. And put me down for 1 min please.

awesomerino Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 I also voted for 2 min, mostly on account of the fact that we only lay 5 min periods, but also because it strikes me as the fairest punishment for the crime. The crime of boarding, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skoolyardpuck Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 2 minutes is fine. Injuries happen at random, so it really shouldn't be any more than a roughing penalty. 4 minutes is just REALLY overdoing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smozoma Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 (still voting 2 minutes) If we make the 'injuring' penalty 1 minute, why don't we make them all one minute? Injuring a guy is pretty much the only penalty that has any real bearing on the game, as it is! I mean when the computer hooks a guy, it's very very very rarely a guy who's just about to break free for a breakaway or onetimer or something like that. It's usually some guy offscreen. When you injure a guy, you've actually done some real harm to your opponent (especially if it's for the game). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
