shadow47 1 Report post Posted March 13, 2009 The Flyers scored in the third and the ref washed the goal out because he was calling a penalty. It appeared to me that the penalty occurred after the shot had been taken. It was a crosschecking penalty. How can they wash out a goal when no Flyer touched the puck after the penalty was called nor did the penalty affect the goal i.e. a goaltender interference call. Just seemed weird, the Caps had a goal taken away too for goalie interference even though the guy was pushed. Just poor reffing, or...? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Flyers are still considered "in possession" and therefore the penalty would be called immediately upon being committed, regardless of when the shot had been taken. The only way the goal gould have counted is if a Caps player had gained possession of the puck and THEN accidentally put it into his own net, or if the cross check had occurred after the puck crossed the goal line. From the way you described it, it doesn't seem as if either of those situations occurred. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shadow47 1 Report post Posted March 13, 2009 It just seems kinda silly when the penalty didn't affect the goal. The puck had already been shot and was within feet of going into the net. I don't think it was in the net yet but it could've been. This reminds me of those "puck enters the net before the whistle but 'I was thinking of blowing the whistle' calls" that are no-goal. It just doesn't make any sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It just doesn't make any sense. The cross check took a Caps defenseman out of position to block the shot. I mean he probably wouldn't have anyway, but what's to stop a team who needs one goal to tie it up from just taking 4 players our as a shot is released if they don't call them like that?

DuckSoup13 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2009 Why is there always a thread about the Caps after each of their games on our boards? I mean dont get me wrong, I spent 20 years in DC and I like them and all but I dont come here to talk about the Caps.. Anyone else noticed this trend or is it just me?
