NHL Thread: ENTER NOW FOR ANNUAL LEAFS MELTDOWN

can’t believe they called that a penalty

 

McDavid never ceases to amaze man I swear

 

If the league can turn a live game into big city green then yes they would be able to tell where a stick was when a puck hit it.

The problem in football will always be that you can’t always fully see the ball for cameras to get it like with Hawkeye and what they use for soccer. But they can get creative one of these days.

 

I enjoy this as an over bettor but I'm still absolutely dead inside

 

What a fucking play there by avardsson

 

Go Minnesota

 

go Dallas

 

Just kidding i want the north stars to win

i can get past my rivalry with Gunners to cheer the real stars on

 

Overtime. Yay

 

man do I really do this to myself. I have a ton of shit to do tomorrow.

 

go to sleep

 

not yet

 

The oilers player touching it makes the high stick irrelevant, right?

 

And this is just stupid

 

how is it tough to tell

 

no goal but this is bad for hockey

 

I thought you were a get the calls right guy.

 

i think that is it. It was a high stick but the oilers player touched it first after

 

I am, but you have to do it faster

And they got it wrong anyway

 

is it touch or have possession, I don’t know the rule

 

that’s crazy to me he clearly knocked it down with a high stick then controlled it.

if this game is in Edmonton that call is reversed.

 

when I played it was touched but I am old

 

I’m almost positive the defender would have to gain possession to nullify the high stick. just touching it doesn’t matter.

 

because they possessed it by touching it with this stick or skate. Here’s the rule

When the puck is played above the height of the shoulders with the stick, play shall be immediately stopped and a face-off conducted at one of the end zone face-off spots in the defending zone of the offending team unless:
(1) The puck is batted to an opponent who gains possession of the puck, in which case play shall continue, or
(2) A player of the defending team bats the puck into their own goal, in which case the goal is allowed

 

So I am watching hockey night in Canada and they said it is possession and the video review was inconclusive.

i am with zeberdee here, bad call

 

the guys in studio should just come out and say they got it wrong stop dancing around it.

 

only the NHL finds a way to screw over the best player in the world.

 

He plays in canada, the nhl would do anything to screw over Canadian markets. Regardless of players.

:)

 

Didn't see until this angle but Ekblad definitely took a run at McAvoy without the puck last night and hurt himself.

 

Go kings go

 

Didn’t expect to see a 1993 reference in here.

 

I was struggling to stay awake last night and just went to bed. Felt extra bad when I saw it went to OT this morning. But this post makes me feel a little better. I feel well rested today

 

Sounds like Cernak is still out

 

Where’s the definition of possession? Because in a delayed penalty that wouldn’t be considered possession.

 

you probably won’t believe this but the rule is not well defined or called consistently

Possession of the Puck: The last player to touch the puck, other than the goalkeeper, shall be considered the player in possession. The player deemed in possession of the puck may be checked legally, provided the check is rendered immediately following his loss of possession

 

Vegas two shots two goals

 

I almost turned it off but this game is fun again

 

Nice come back, overtime

 

Peg imo

 

Oh my god

 

That was a brutal. 3rd goal on Brossoit was one he definitely needed to snag.

 

yep, crucial goal. This is a save you have to make in the playoffs. Once they got that one the writing was on the wall

 

Hedman playing

 

What a dumbass play by dubois

 

Unlucky

 

Fuck yeah
