Around the NHL — Episode XLXVII

Matthews definitely isn’t healthy but feels like that’s true every year, which is a problem in and of itself.

I think his hand is still f***ed up from the first round.


Also his spine will continue curling until he shows up to camp as a snail.

Matthew's is literally 5th all time in goals per game. He reached 400g faster than Ovechkin and is on pace to end up as 2nd all time in goals.

Whether he's hurt or not, he's literally the best goal scorer in the game based on his stats. F*** Toronto, but let's not be homers.
 
So kicking the puck into the net is now allowed.

The rulebook says that if a puck is kicked and then goes off of a players stick into the net then it is a goal. But if the puck is kicked and it goes in off the goalie or the goalies stick then there is no goal.

The refs and the league then said that Hellebuyck "propelled" the puck into the net which is why it was a goal. There is no reference in the rulebook as to "propelling" the puck.

It was deflected off of Hellebuyck's stick, it was as clear a no-goal call as I have ever seen. It took them 7 minutes and they made the wrong call, wtf?

Florida fans after two Canadian players score to give them a 2-0 victory in front of their Russian goalie: "USA USA USA"


Never change, idiots.

Eh let's be real man, people view their teams based on their actual locations rather than their players' nationalities.

I mean if the Sens won the Cup, we'd view it as a Canadian team winning even though our 3 best players are two Americans and a German.

Dallas and controversial playoff goals, name a more iconic duo.

As far as I’m concerned it’s a good goal. Helly did more than deflect it IMO.

Yeah maybe this is true, but he wasn’t balding when most of this happening. He is balding now and that changes things.

Man just when Leafs fans started to believe they were for real, they are going back to Florida tied and Matthews is balding. Not good for the,.

But I love how they get their hopes up and then get it snatched away

Exactly. If you are Hellybuck that "kick" was no worse than a deflection. It doesn't excuse what happened after given how he played on the road against St. Louis.

I'm at a bit of a loss on this one.

On the first hand, I really don't see it as a distinct kicking motion, but the league is so wildly inconsistent who knows these days

Then, the replay seems to show a change of direction immediately after the puck comes off his skate, there's no clear replay to show what caused it, assuming it isn't just a case of perspective playing tricks, but I really think it must have hit something on its way.

Lastly, Hellebuyk does bat it into his own net in an attempt to clear it, and that's what the league is using to justify it being a good goal, but that's imo the weakest of the three possible arguments.

Yeah its looks like it deflected off his own stick (Petrovic's) right after he kicked at it. That part alone makes it a good goal. They shouldn't have even ruled or tried to interpret on whatever the heck Hellebuyck was doing.

Florida owner seems like a real psycho


I will definitely be cheering for them to lose once they beat the Leafs.

Ew, kind of wish I hadn't looked this up.

That said, we know what it's like to have an owner you're embarrassed about

I doubt Matthews is playing past 35.


Ovechkin on the other hand is a complete freak of nature. That's why he's got the goal record.

Matthews conditioning always seems questionable. It seems like he relies more on his talent than being physically strong and powerful.

I just think it was clearly a kicking motion, his skate was moving in the direction of the net. Plus the change in direction was close to 90 degrees, he would have had to really hit it with his skate to make that kind of movement.

Assuming the reviewer believes it was a kicking motion then, by the rules, any sort of contact that it makes with Hellebuyck before going into the net should be a no goal. If the goalie has to react to a kicked puck I don't care if he tried to swat it away with his glove or propel it to the moon if it subsequently goes into the net it should be no goal.
