Would goal have stood?

[Andy Pred 48 337]

Here's a puzzler for one and all. The near miss we had last night in OT when local boy David Moss had the net at his mercy. He took the shot which hit Dom's helmet and went skyward. Now if the shot had gone off Dom's helmet and into

the net would the referee been right to wave the goal off? Would have been an interesting call to say the least, infront of a home crowd, the home team needing to win to stay alive. I'm lead to believe that if a shot hits the netminders helmet then play is whislted down, and we have a faceoff! Anyone want to clarify this one up ?

The goal would've counted.

David Moss is going to be a stud in a year or so.

Wings ran into a situation like this earlier this year against Phoenix, actually. But for starters, play isn't over if the goalie takes it in the mask. So if Moss buries it, good goal.

Play is only blown dead if the mask comes off. But there's an exception, and that's if the puck is still in an immediate scoring position. That's why in Phoenix when Homer cranked one off of Telqvist's mask and it fell off, and Homer stuffed the rebound, the play wasn't whistled.

Not true.. the ref has discretion over blowing the whistle if he believes the goalie has been stunned (see Kipper getting shot in the face by Zet).

The goal would absolutely have counted wtih no complaints from the Wings.

Unless theres a penalty on the play or it was put in illegally (high stick, kicking/gloving motion) the shot would be a goal.

If the refs blew the whistle before he shot the puck in, it would be no goal as the play would already be dead, but the refs can only whistle a play down if they lose sight of the puck (Hasek has it covered), or someone is injured.

That goal would have counted and we would all not be talking about a Game 7 instead of a Game 1.

It would've counted without a doubt.

Beating a dead horse I see. The goal would have counted... as it should.

Which still haunts me.

The rule of blowing the play dead if the puck hits the goalie in the mask is a more predominate European hockey rule if I recall correctly.

Yup. That's what they did in the Olympics.

...... when Homer cranked one off of Telqvist's mask and it fell off, and Homer stuffed the rebound, the play wasn't whistled.

Here's a vintage example: Once Al MacInnis cranked one from center that hit Mike Liut in the face and bounced into the net. Liut broke his nose, and the goal counted. This is, oh, maybe mid-eighties.

I'm just glad he missed!

didnt kipper take one to the mask and play was blown dead immediately?

yup it did

[Zetter is Better 0]

it only wouldnt count if Doms helmet was knock off on the play

[betterREDthandead 58]

didnt kipper take one to the mask and play was blown dead immediately?

Mainly because Kipper was knocked woozy for a couple seconds. They'll stop the play for anyone, goalie or not, if it looks like they're lying on the ice with some kind of head injury.
