Edmonton vs Ottawa game explained

Just wondering your thoughts on this situation

Edmonton side, we have a lag out at the 1st intermission (aka me) and the game is 0-0. Rules says that when a player lag out, we must back out and restart:

2nd Period Disconnection:
●If a player(s) disconnects in the 2nd Period, teams are required to play until the next whistle or
stoppage of play.
●Once the stoppage has occurred, both teams are to have their goalie leave the game session which
will prompt the game to end immediately.
●The team that had the disconnection occur will be required to take a minor penalty upon restarting
the game.
●This time is determined when the exact time a player disconnects from the game.
●An additional 05:00 minutes of in-game time will be added to the time of the disconnection.
●If the disconnection occurs between 20:00 and 15:00 of the 2nd Period, additional time is
not needed.
○Teams are recommended to take the minor penalty right off the opening face-off of
the game restart.
●If the disconnection occurs between 14:59 and 00:00 of the 2nd Period, the 05:00 minutes
of in-game time will need to be added

That being said. By the rules, since it was before puck drop and during intermission, guys should have backed out immediately to restart. Instead, both teams plays the whole 2nd period with the IA, to back out at the end of the 2nd period. Ottawa in that period score 3 goals. One player on Edmonton side decide that it's enough and goes offline, we do not restart to play the 3rd period or anything and the game is marked 3-0

Thing is that by the rules, this whole period should NOT have been played. Our player would not have raged quit too cause this whole period with a IA would NOT have been played. It was a back out, and a restart from the 2nd period beginning with myself in, or an ECU

Don't the game should be rescheduled? Or at minimum, the score voided?

Personally i end with a 3-0 lost, lagging out at 0-0, for a period that should not have been played. Which does not have sense at all. This score to me seems not legit by the rules

Any thoughts?

 

get better internet

 

Your management is very smart

 

It looks like I have started a new meme with these thread titles.

 

The poll getting trolled or most really think the 3-0 score should stay. I don't see any logic to it

 

where's the you are on a piss team and no one gives a single fuck option?

 

I play for the Sens, so there may be some bias involved here.

I can see this game potentially being changed to a 1-0 FF, but the Oilers team playing the ENTIRE 2nd period does not help those chances IMO.

 

IMO players need to be informed by their management about situations like this. Just poor management imo. I know for a fact @ltz0ver4u would of tagged us 10000000x to quit the game in discord if this happened.

 

I personally think it should be a reschedule since the period should not have been played, but a ff could be an acceptable verdict for some reasons. But keeping that 3-0 would not make any sense, the fact that a player have a 3-0 loss while not being involved in that game kinda prove it. If they keep it to 3-0 it would basically saying that their own rule is meanless. We must back out for X reasons but if we don't, game still count, it would not respect their own rule logic

That's kinda a new rule tho, i think a lot still don't know we're not supposed to wait until the end of periods now. But yeah players should clearly be informed of those changes i guess it's been there since one season already

 

I don't think It should be a reschedule at all, because the whole reason it got to that point is because an Oilers player rage quit and didnt come back. Everyone should have quit immediately and resumed the 2nd period. The entire reason that the game didnt resume last night was the rage quit, and that should be grounds for a FF.

My argument for a 3-0 win is still that the Oilers played the entire 2nd period. If you lagged out and your team continues to play, Ottawa might think that you quit the game and have no intentions on continuing. Managers should have been involved during this. But I dont see how you can punish Ottawa players for continuing to play that game when the Oilers did.

 

But the rule seems made to avoid IA to have an impact on gameplay and the fact that it went from 0-0 to 3-0 prove that it did. Let's agree that the game would have been different with a player there. And that's why the rule to back out seems there. So leaving it 3-0 would just go against that logic. The rule says the game was to be stopped, so anything happenned after the moment that the team should have backed out should not be valid

Talking about punishement tho, why would i have a 3-0 loss in a game i did not played. It was 0-0

 

I find it embarrassing/weird that your management wouldn’t tell your teammates to back out next whistle/stating the rules on it before the season started. I know if that’s my team in the same situation making a dumb mistake like that I’m freaking out on them yet also firming the loss because of my incompetent managing.

 

thanks for clearing things up here, I was losing sleep over the outcome of this game.

 

Yeah, the rule is made to avoid AI interference, but ALL of the other Oilers remained in the game. If the results were different and the Oilers were up 3-0 with the AI, Im sure you wouldnt be calling for a reschedule of the 2nd Period. It ultimately is a management error which stinks, but we move on.

 

If it was 3-0 oilers after the second. You would have said the period was valid? I'm pretty sure MT would be claiming exactly what i'm claiming

Score does not matter, on an objective perspective that period by the rule should just legit not be valid

I have a loss in a game i did not played like c'mon

 

Quote from MT less than 30 min ago, "I know if that’s my team in the same situation making a dumb mistake like that I’m freaking out on them yet also firming the loss because of my incompetent managing."

So no, I dont think MT would be claiming the same thing.

That second period shouldnt have counted, until your team played out the entire period. Then, it counts.

 

He would have do the same thing if the same situation happenned, our player lag out but we score 3 goals, that's what i mean't

Anyway all i'm saying is objectively by the rule, that period was not valid, so the game should just not be marked a 3-0 loss. Whatever if it should be a reschedule or a ff

 

Back out then

 

Oilers should have backed out.
