I remember that 5OT game between Philly and Pittsburgh. What a play
-
They scored a goal on a delayed offside?
-
3OT! Hoping we get a full 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th. I want 3 for the price of 1.
-
You must be like the only one watching that game right now
-
Absolutely. I definitely get why they're doing it, it's just not the best idea. Funny bounce, good heads up play by Fleury.
-
Great chance for Ottawa, too bad Karlsson couldn't get a better stick on it.
-
Yeah but guys are taking an extra rush up the ice when they shouldn't be.
-
Agreed. Is it just me or are both teams shifts way too long right now?
-
Yeah he's looked really good. He's had a goal, and a couple more really damn good chances.
-
Crosby interfered with and no call, I'm impressed.
-
Versus announcers get something right... Terrible decision by Sutton.
-
Have I mentioned recently that I love Ruutu? Both of them, actually. I feel like I have to keep saying it since no one else likes the poor fella.
-
Hmmmm, mine used to have that in it. I wonder what happened to it...
-
I'm feelin' the new sig, crotty. Nice
-
It doesn't weaken either side of the argument. All it means is that the league's gotten it wrong one way or the other at least once.
-
No, rules *shouldn't* change because it's the playoffs. But they do. Penalties don't get called quite as closely is usually the only thing, but this year they decided to change the definition of "distinct kicking motion." I've seen that goal count before, and I know you have too.
-
I agree that it's not a conspiracy, but the rule definitely changed for the postseason. I think that goal would've stood in the regular season, just like that goal in Vancouver would have too.
-
Yeah, it does mean they're not following them. If the words in the rulebook say one thing, but they ignore it, I'm pretty sure they're not following it. And yes, it does matter why his foot was going forward. Players in hockey have this strange way of stopping. It's different than any other sport. They turn their feet perpendicular to the way they're going and dig into the ice basically. That's not kicking.
-
Sure they're small, but you can't tell me that the goal we just saw disallowed was the same kind of kicking motion that usually gets a goal waved off.
-
No, it's not cut and dry. His foot was going forward because HE was going forward. And he moved his foot not to strike the puck, but so the puck would strike his foot. It may sound petty, but it's an important distinction to make. Well it would be anyway, if the refs and Toronto didn't throw out the rulebook this postseason.
-
I don't think he thought it was in so much as "knew" it was going in. Sometimes you let it go and just know it.
-
If you're trying to redirect the puck into the net, which IS legal under the wording in the rulebook, you do. And "not for the specific act of stopping" doesn't mean "distinct kicking motion." I don't expect kick-off like kicks, but still, a kick is a kick. You can't just change the definition of it for hockey.
-
Remember when they used to only call really, really obvious penalties in playoff OT? And sometimes they wouldn't even call those? I miss that.
-
Pittsburgh gets a PP right after, who'da thunk it? That was no worse than what Staal did at the other end of the ice.
-
That's because he was stopping. There's no rule that says you can't stop at the puck, or even "stop it in." The only thing the rule says is what we all know about a "distinct kicking motion." To me, that involves movement from the knee, or your foot moving at a different rate than the rest of you, not just repositioning your foot.
