Message: [QUOTE="Pyle, post: 1079442, member: 137"] Avg goals per NHL game 2014 was 5.3 = approx 1 goal every 11 min Avg goals per WC game in 2010 was 2.3 = approx 1 goal every 39 min As for offside, I understand the rule, I just don't like it. Let's say you're a striker, streaking down the sideline but the defense knows you are going to beat them so lets up before the pass is made. The fact that the defense can make you be offsides by essentially quitting on the play is crazy. Roughing doesn't happen because somebody quits on the play it's because they got mauled. As for the garbage goals in hockey you are referring to, I don't see any difference between those and the corner kicks where 10 guys jump in the air hoping the ball will bounce off their noggin and go in the net.
