Alaska Darin Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 The reason the goal didn't count is because it was against Toronto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 The reason the goal didn't count is because it was against Toronto WHEN THE GAME IS BEING PLAYED IN TORONTO. Then there is the double whammy... One can never fight the double whammy! I corrected it a little for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice of them to waive it off for no reason so they could hide behind the "call on the ice was upheld" line. Did they ever actually explain why the goal was waived off?

Did they ever actually explain why the goal was waived off? The ref ruled that he made an intentional motion with his arm to direct the puck into the net. Using any part of your body to intentionally direct the puck into the net is not allowed. It's a judgement call on intent, but that's what he ruled. It would have counted if he had not moved his arm, and it hit him and went in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have counted if he had not moved his arm, and it hit him and went in. The puck went off his chest. The reverse angle clearly showed that.

Alaska Darin Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I have been watching hockey for a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time. I have NEVER seen a goal like that disallowed unless the player was in the crease before the puck, which is no longer a rule. That "No Goal" was a complete "you're playing the Maple Leafs" call. Absolute garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 It's a judgement call on intent, but that's what he ruled. Which might be reasonable if that was his conclusion after reviewing the tape. But there's no friggin way he can make that call live at that speed. Unless there is a clear and obvious violation, which there was not, the assumption has to be that a puck in the net = goal. It should not have been waived off initially.

Wacka Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 As I said on the Harbor Club 300 board, it was called off because he used his nipple to redirect it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
