Ryan Shannon

Ryan Shannon scored a sweet goal on Khabibulin.

My favorite part is Khabibulin punching Shannon after the goal and Shannon taunts him with a scream.

My favorite part is that it's a goal. Just like Lidstrom's should have been yesterday with about 43 seconds left.

[MacK_Attack 108]

I have an issue with that. He clearly makes contact with the goaltender and forces him out of the net and makes him unable to stop the puck. That shouldn't be allowed. I don't blame Khabibulin for being upset with it.

[Wings_Dynasty 267]

No goal. The refs f*** another team.

[Izzy24 44]

I liked the punch a lot more than the stupid goal.

[haroldsnepsts 4,826]

actually I think that's pretty questionable. But then I think shootouts are a joke anyway.

As the announcers mention, I thought you had to keep the puck moving forward. But my main problem is you shouldn't be able to to run into the goaltender on a shootout considering you're the only two on the ice.

I don't think Khabi could've made the save without getting run into, but I can see why he's pissed. Holmstrom should take penalty shots by falling down on the puck as he slides into the goalie and they all crash into the net.

I think it's tougher to call then some of you are giving credit. Khabibulin initiates contact with his right arm to Shannon while he appears to be out of the crease (although tough to tell). Then it appears that Khabibulin is cutting to his left side before Shannon collides with him. I'm not saying it's definitely a goal, but it's not like Shannon purposly knocks over Khabibulin to score.

It would count. I've seen goals where a player would be hit and end up with the puck under him and crashes into the net and the goal counts.

In fact, there is an Av's goal like it in the March 26, 1997 game. Forget who scored it though, but he crashed into Vernon and the goal counted.

[haroldsnepsts 4,826]

watching the replay a few more times, shannon is basically lying in the crease and running into Khabi during the play.

I know this is funny to say after what happened yesterday, but I don't think it should count.

Yeah, I've seen those goals before too. But that's in the context of a game, and often the guy gets knocked down or tripped.

Like I said, they were the only two on the ice. You shouldn't be able to run the goalie in a shootout.

[CrossCheck24 2]

If they let that be the goal then why doesn't a player just push the puck towards the net then skate ahead of it and take out the goalie and let the puck slide freely into the net? Whats the difference?

I agree, after I saw the highlight it looked pretty clear to me that he slides into Khabi and takes him out of the play with his arse.

I don't understand why this was allowed, it doesn't look like Khabi couldn't have made the save on that because Shannon was well into the crease and knocking him to the side.

In comparison with the Homer goal that was disallowed it is kind of ridiculous.

It appears to me Khabibulin makes first contact with his arm while Shannon seems to have his skates out of the crease. If that is the case couldn't you make the arguement Khabibulin caused Shannon to lose control which then resulted into taking Khabibulin out.

[HkyTwn 5]

I just really enjoyed that punch

[Echolalia 2,961]

I think it could've been called either way.

Shannon's skates never go into the crease, and the only reason his butt does contact Khabibulen is involuntary, and after Khabi tried pokechecking the puck. I don't know if he caught Shannon's skate or not.

[Guest octopusdank]

that goal was ***

[Izzy24 44]

that goal was ***

That doesn't make any sense.

[jim3033 1]

He just plowed into the goalie! You shouldn't be able to do that. If that's a goal and Homer's isn't then..shoot.

What I want to know is why Khabibulin hasn't been suspended for that cheapshot with the blocker after the goal has been called and Shannon is skating away. Seems like pretty blatant unsportsmanlike behavior there.

[edicius 3,269]

Shannon didn't appear to make any effort to avoid contact with Khabibulin. Therefore, in my eyes, no goal. But, eh, what do we know? The officials are god.

In keeping consistency with the way they are calling them. I'll second that.

Nah, it should be a pretty easy call. Khabibulin tried for the poke check and missed, Shannon spinned away, lost his footing and fell into Khabibulin.

Whether Shannon purposely made contact or not is irrelevant.

[Kp-Wings 3]

Haha, I love how this thread officially went from being about a goal, to being turned into a rant about the referees of the NHL.

Oh, and as for my take on it... Shannon lost his footing, so I don't see how you can blame him for "intentionally running into a goalie". Besides, the "Bulin-Wall" as they used to call him, is a washed up idiot, and he plays for a team that I love to see lose... so why should I support him?

[Guest paveldatsukthenextsavard]

it's bulls*** that counted, just doing the spinarama is backwards progress, and he makes contact with bulin and clearly hinders his ability to stop the shot.
