Around The NHL: Part VIII - Tampa/NYR = 0 Playoff Wins

Nice, I'd like to see the leafs make the 2nd round at least. New blood, rebuilding and all

No thanks...let the drought parch them

 

[Gresch04]

Nice goal there. Milbury about to have a stroke.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Wasn't incidental - he pushed off the Bruins player and propelled himself into the goalie - whether he knew where he was or not. Minor? Yes, but more than enough to throw Rask off.

That was 100% incidental. You think he purposely or reckleslly went into rask? It was a love tap, outside the crease.

His push caused him to hit Rask. We can agree to disagree.

(edit)

And "incidental" is meaningless in the rule:

"Goals should be disallowed only if: (1) an attacking player, either by his positioning or by contact, impairs the goalkeeper's ability to move freely within his crease or defend his goal"

"defend his goal" protects his ability to make saves outside the crease.

I'd be fine with them wandering in the wilderness for another few decades

It’s literally the definition of incidental. The goalie contact was incidental to him contacting another player.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

His push caused him to hit Rask. We can agree to disagree.

Nhl agrees too

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Is Milbury still alive? I dont think he’s said a word after the 2nd goal.

 

[Harbour Dog]

I'm not one for conspiracy theories, but I have a difficult time seeing that goal counting if it was Marchand at the top of Andersson's crease.

 

[Gresch04]

His push caused him to hit Rask. We can agree to disagree.

That’s not the definition of intentional. His push was intentional. His contact with Rask was incidental to that intentional push. If he just skated into Rask or cross checked Rask that would be intentional.

 

[haohmaru]

Nhl agrees too

NHL is 50/50 on these you know they are about as consistent as Nash scoring goals in the playoffs.

 

[haohmaru]

That’s not the definition of intentional. His push was intentional. His contact with Rask was incidental to that intentional push. If he just skated into Rask or cross checked Rask that would be intentional.

Doesn't matter if it's intentional or not.

 

[Rempe73]

Lmao I love Marchand’s angry face

 

[trilobyte]

McAvoy made the right choice not shooting, I haven't seen him hit the net with any of his clear shots tonight.

 

[Gresch04]

Intentional - done on purpose; deliberate.

If you cross check a defensemen, lose your balance and fall back bumping into the goalie, then bumping the goalie is incidental and not intentional. While he CAUSED the contact he did not INTEND the contact.

 

[haohmaru]

I'd love to know how many goals are scored when you pull the goalie vs. how many empty netters are scored vs. teams scoring goals when down by one with a couple of minutes to go without pulling the goalie.

 

[Rempe73]

I`ve Carolina in 7, Caps goalie looks shaky after 17 seconds into the 1st period 1-0 lead very early.

I also had Carolina in 7, but from day 1

 

[haohmaru]

Intentional - done on purpose; deliberate.

If you cross check a defensemen, lose your balance and fall back bumping into the goalie, then the bumping the goalie is incidental and not intentional. While he CAUSED the contact he did not INTEND the contact.

Again, doesn't matter if it's intentional or incidental or not. It matters if you're pushed in by the team defending but if it's an "accident" it's still no goal.

 

[Gresch04]

Doesn't matter if it's intentional or not.

Incidental lacks intent. It 100% matters.

There are 3 possibilities:
You intentionally bump the goalie.
You incidentally bump the goalie.
The other team hits you into the goalie.

 

[trilobyte]

Kreijci has been the best Bruin tonight I think
Nice setup for a great finish

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Milbury thinks its good. Shockinggg

 

[haohmaru]

Incidental lacks intent. It 100% matters.

The rule says differently.

 

[haohmaru]

Milbury now 1/2 on challenges.

 

[trilobyte]

Good call

 

[Gresch04]

Dumb icing. Wow.
