2023 NHL Playoffs Around the League

Oh thank god Teuvo is okay to play game 1 against Florida. I thought he had his hand cut off like Luke Skywalker after Pageaus brutal hack of his stick.

 

[BrockLobster]

That crowd for a game 1...im jealous

 

[Surfrat]

Refs screwing up the game already

KRISTERS GULDELSKIS LMAO

what a terrible trade. Up there with Brandon Davidson

I think goaltender interference call is far too ambiguous. I think it affects the outcomes of too many games. Anderson slid the wrong way, the goal was not a result of contact with the goaltender.

 

[Lame Lambert]

Canes continue their embellishment and diving

 

[PK Cronin]

Double OT coming up but I can't stay awake for it.

 

[Osakahaus]

Triple OT

The college student in me is going nuts

 

[PolishPrince21]

Game has surpassed our Easter epic

Hahah think I heard the PA announcer say it’s time for the 7th intermission stretch!!!

 

[Big L]

With 12 seconds left

 

[MJF]

2 turnovers by Carolina led to the GWG.

 

[Osakahaus]

Matthew Tkachuk is the MVP

 

[Richie Daggers Crime]

Why did Burns do that?

If it makes you feel any better, Tampa traded had him and then let him walk down the road to their in-state rival for free.

 

[Lek]

wow....watched the "highlights"....basically, were not many for a 9 minute recap. Panthers should have won that though in the first overtime....crap call.

Of note...had to suck that they likely (assuming) stopped serving sometime into or before the third?.....then again, imagane how tanked the crowd would have been had they served throughout the game, lol.

 

[Dutch Frost]

is the game still on? I just woke up

Seemed 100% goalie interference to me. White tried to fight through a good boxout, and clipped the goalie, who couldn't push off back to his left. Completely different from other situations where defenders push attackers from behind into the goalie. The question isn't whether Drury caused the contact. Drury's boxout was one necessary cause of the contact, but so was White's attempt to fight through it. Given that, the call should go to the player who has correctly established position, which 100% was Drury.

At any rate, it's good for the NHL that it was called. Florida won, and they won because Tkachuk fought like hell. And they didn't penalize a player (Drury) who defended the crease in precisely the way he was supposed to.

Its genuinely a call that gets made because someone used video replay. 30 years ago this stands as a goal

Yes, and everyone would have discussed how the refs botched the call, which also wouldn't be fair. This is a completely justifiable use of replay, because the contact happened on the back-side. The ref would have to see through Drury to notice the contact. The only way he could call it was to assume that contact happened because White was in the crease.

Goal should have stood with replay.....sorry...he made an effort to stop and was pushed back, goalie also initiated contact.....no matter, Panthers got the win, just took longer.

 

[PK Cronin]

Glad I went to bed when I did.

The goalie was moving in his crease, and reacting to the play. You cannot stand on the opposite side of the crease and just wait for the goalie to bump into when the play moves in that direction. That's the goalies space and he needs to be able to move freely within it.
