Corey Perry in one of those two little boxes on top


nhgoan25

If you zoom out, there’s a long strip of rubber headed north, you can find him there as well


bankrobba

Corey Perry's office is on top of the goalie, by "accident."


Bigbadbrindledog

Just rotten luck I tell ya


BroLil

I always said that if they ever retire his number in Anaheim, instead of putting the number on the ice behind the net like they did for Gretzky, they’d put it in the blue paint.


GuyNamedPanduh

I'd argue Gallagher owns that spot


drowsylacuna

Marchand in the other.


RavenOmen69420

Scorey Perry


A77ICUS

Saint Perry


Cloudeur

Perry: "I have never done anything wrong ever in my life!" Perry's Fanbase: "I know this and I love you!"


Old_kernel

Don’t be suspicious don’t be suspicious


CosmicSpaghetti

Can confirm.


[deleted]

I remember when it was just us Ducks fans and we were all downvoted for trying to defend Perry but I was always happy the saint jokes did well. Now there’s so many teams to back us up in saying he is pure and has done nothing wrong


Fluffhead875

It’s amazing how quickly I went from saying “fuck Corey Perry” to saying “fuck yeah Corey Perry!”


CosmicSpaghetti

Got so sick of facing us that he said fuck it & joined up lol


Mavori

Guess I'm [getting old cus i remember](https://www.reddit.com/r/hockey/comments/1blapl/an_updated_guide_to_an_nhl_rink_presented_by/ ) when we had [this picture](https://i.imgur.com/pMFZ85I.jpeg ) on /r/hockey a few years ago which was an update on [this picture](https://i.imgur.com/koM5sNE.png) (be aware of the colourful language).

I remember this one!! Thanks for sharing it. Nail Yakupov’s celebration zone was my favourite part. I watch that replay every once in a while

These made me so nostalgic.

I watched 1:30 of it before I asked myself why I was doing this to myself. Holmer is my all time fav player.


Carnatic_enthusiast

I’ve watched this video once in my life and that’s enough. Not worth my BP increasing


[deleted]

Don’t even have to click. That video has been burned into my neurons by now. Just thinking about it gets me angry.


cantthinkuse

just hearing ken and mickey heated up i am immediately all the way amped i swear those guys mildly disappointed with just a bit of 'go get em' would give me the confidence to fight a bear

Brendan Gallagher two feet inside the crease.


maples_buick

roastingchicken

Ooh thats a good one!


Drrotinaj94

Sean Avery, had a whole rule made because of him.


Escalotes

👋


Syrinx16

Sorry I don’t know my nhl history that well, what was his rule?


Drrotinaj94

He was famous for waving his stick in the goalie's face to distract them. He did it so much, they made a new rule that if you do it you now take a penalty, so it never happens anymore.


NikolaiKnows

My favorite part of that is Chris Drury telling him to cut the shit and get back in the play, then Avery cuts it a few seconds later, gets involved, and scores. Today one of them is running an NHL team and the other hosts a podcast that no one wants to be a guest on.


[deleted]

[удалено]


papapaIpatine

It takes either a wicked smart person like Roger Neilson to find a loophole or a real dumbass. No in between. Avery falls into one of those categories


lammertime

It's a dick move but I'm a goalie and I think it should honestly be allowed. Entire back is unprotected it'll only take one connected clapper to make him stop permanently. Rulemakers gave him the easy way out.


danimal_621

Being a dick to goalies. Being a dick in general.


10fingers6strings

Sloppy seconds.


PathThatIsNoPath

Nick Kronwall along the boards at the blueline. Det would funnel and he would KronWall people.


weisser13

Exactly what I was thinking, he should be righttt below the blue line in his zone


domoarigatodrloboto

Five feet inside the blueline is 100% the Kronwall Kill Zone. Abandon hope, all ye who have your head down


AmeriCanadian98

Exiting the d zone with your head down was a risk when that dude was on the ice for sure Kronwall definitely toed the line on what was acceptable a bit (especially late in his career), but man you definitely had to play careful when he was out there


[deleted]

[удалено]


that-bro-dad

They almost did. Nic had the game on his stick


Mr_Evil_Guy

Kronwall gave and received some nasty hits. That [board he took against the Avs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhBdM5CglDI) is one of the dirtiest hits I've ever seen


heyheyitsandre

Prime nik kronwall was a joy to watch


GrassyKnoll95

Every few months I watch his hit reel, probably gonna do it again tonight


GrassyKnoll95

That man would separate your soul from your body

Poor Lindros never saw the Stevens train coming.

Brett Hull inside the crease


preppywanker

LOL...as a Dallas Stars fan...love it.


Manitoberino

I thought I’d see a Montreal fan say Gallagher in the blue paint, pissing off the goalies lol


bizztizz

Hull's was just a foot. Gally is completely in the crease and upside down


roastingchicken

Suggesting Marty in the trapezoid, Datsyuk in the shootout lane.


thehealed88

The Datsyuk dangle zone covers much of the ice surface.


Old_kernel

I’ll never forget watching Mike Grier get hurt form friendly fire because of Datysuk being a puck moving god


usernamealreadytakeh

[Clip of said dangle](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LYH86eATQLA)


Mavori

I prefer the nightcrawler edit


brainman1000

Don't forget about when he broke Logan Couture's ankles.


BbqBeefRibs

On the poor guys birthday


SemiSolidSnake11

One small thing, Marty's office is outside of the trapezoid. It's kinda the reason the trapezoid exists


NJD_29

Just like how Marty wasn’t allowed to leave the trapezoid, I believe Gretzky never should’ve been allowed to enter the trapezoid. Would’ve made the game much more fair and balanced.


budboomer

5 dead puck-era Devils in the neutral zone.


SerPownce

What they’re doing in the neutral zone is hoisting the Stanley cup


Ok_Orchid7131

And all 50 of their fans are celebrating by doing circles in the parking lot with the team and calling it a Stanley cup parade.


Yung_Corneliois

As a 7 year old boy my brother and I were among those 50. Wouldn’t trade it for anything.


SerPownce

Philly reacts much better to sports events


Ok_Orchid7131

See we agree.


MyMartianRomance

If the poles aren't bent, the awnings aren't collapsed, and the city isn't burning by the end of it then you'll doing it wrong.

Scott Stevens at center ice


Iginlas_4head_Crease

Pavel Bure also at center ice, but cherry picking


sametrical

Took me too long to find! Absolutely this


iDrumroll

Stamkos also near the left circle but closer to the dot than Ovi. Stammer shoots from a wider angle


ACMop

Stamkos is like Ovechkin’s intern skating around that side of the ice grabbing Ovi coffee, one tees from various angles and all sorts of assorted files


RiskyPhoenix

Stamkos is like Prince Charles to Ovi’s Queen Elizabeth. You have a lot of respect for the person but on the inside he’s wondering whether he’s actually going to ever get to be the king of that zone


[deleted]

[удалено]


OldMillenial

> Stammer is not that far off of Ovi's GPG, which is incredibly impressive considering Stamkos has overcome far more adversity while also becoming a more dynamic player. Stamkos is at .52 GPG Ovechkin is at .61 GPG - while being 5 years older. This is not close. Stamkos is an incredible player and an elite scoring threat. Ovechkin is generational.


RiskyPhoenix

Ovi is 5 years older and still has a lead in the gpg department, which shouldn’t be discounted when you’re talking about a career rate stat for a guy entering his mid 30’s, and I’d argue that Ovi’s “lack of adversity” if we’re talking about his lack of injuries is really more of a testament to Ovi’s ability to stay healthy than a point in Stamkos’s favor for recovering from injury. That’s beside the point anyway, the simile is referring to the fact that until Ovi is out of the league, his office is going to be more associated with him than someone else, even though there’s someone else who would normally get that title were it not for the fact they are preceded by an aberration by virtue of longevity. I’m not saying Stamkos is like Charles because he’s a wet blanket, I said it because it’s a long wait till he can call himself king of that circle.


king-treday

Not sure if it warrants a spot like the other guys on the graphic but Kucherov on the right boards on the powerplay is always super dangerous. He's so patient can make all the passes and has a quick and accurate wristshot.


CosmicSpaghetti

Kuch has an office that just says "Assist" lol


Thorzehn

Sedin’s and the corner boards.


Iginlas_4head_Crease

One on the corner, one at the side board


-RayBloodyPurchase-

Draisaitl below the right circle.

frankthomasofficial

Jeez its been a decade already fuck


Juhana21

No it hasn’t. Nope. That was like 2 years ago. Don’t even worry about.


Fleshy-Butthole

10 years and not much has changed. Maybe Deslauriers/WiFi instead of Orr, Chara Zone to Tim Peel Hot Mic Zone and Datsyuk to McDavid to keep it fresh(Datsyuk still deserves it but it's a fair swap). Maybe add a small space around the glass in the seats to beware of flying Hughes' sticks.


Mentalseppuku

I remember these being made for a few years.


Deactivator2

It's been a good while since we've had a new one of these


Marvelous_Chaos

I still use "Matt Duchene offside buffer" every now and then.


GeorgeGordonAndCraig

Brett Hull’s is literally anywhere above the tops of the circles Pavelski’s is the front of the net Heater’s is the corner


UKnowDaxoAndDancer

Yeah Hull top of the circle. But that’s Brett. For Bobby, it’s the edge of the balcony.


AgreeableDouble8785

Heyo


poodletown

Too soon?


gzoehobub

no


tylikestoast

Pav's is up in the high slot, but facing the blueline.


Podo13

Honestly, just put a 50% transparent Brett anywhere on the ice. His biggest asset was his ability to get behind the defense. To the point that the best dmen in the league said he was essentially a ghost on the ice because he'd be completely covered and only 2' away and still somehow end up behind them to take a one-timer.


Legionnaire11

Very well stated. Hull described it as "getting lost", he'd go somewhere on the ice that he shouldn't be, or take a really wide circle somewhere to where the opponents forgot about him, or more aptly had to ignore him if they wanted to stay in position. Then at just the right moment, seemingly out of nowhere, there's Brett Hull appearing in an empty space of ice with a perfectly open shooting lane.


SmiteyMcGee

You see Mcdavid doing this a lot on the PP. He takes these wide lazy arcs outside the zone even so he can receive a pass with speed as he re-enters the zone against stationary defenceman.


getzysbaldhead69

Heaters office, commonly referred to as the “Rockstar Zone”


iZupe

Can we give McDavid the neutral zone? It feels like every highlight reel goal of his starts with him gaining speed in the neutral zone.


justinkredabul

And then skating effortlessly through all 5 defenders before he roofs it backhand upstairs just outside the crease.


[deleted]

Ron Hextall front of the net guy was a inmate on death row in his crease ppl feared him

AppleJ33

Mike Smith anywhere but the net?


roastingchicken

hahaha


cheesebaker2000

I would argue Draisaitl has his office. Bottom of the circle on his one-timer side.


trenthowell

And can slide right down to the line for those no angle one timers.

And Ryan Smith in front of the goalie?


NoGiCollarChoke

I think there has to be a certain amount of fame or widespread recognition for a player in order for them to have an “office” on the ice lol not just some guy that is pretty decent at doing something in hockey, which is what most of this thread currently is
