"Distinct kicking motion" in Jets / Stars game

Reviewed for 7 minutes to say good goal because it hit the goalies stick

It wasn’t deflected off of his stick. Hellebuyck tried to whack at the puck and messed up.

 

[MBTendy]

Good goal.

Reviewed for 7 minutes to say good goal because it hit the goalies stick

Wasn’t ruled as good because it hit goalie’s stick, it was good because they ruled the goalie put it in his own net.

Just saying ask any fan of a Canadian team if they are shocked this was called this way...

 

[Breakers]

NHL ruled Helly propelled the puck which is true

That point alone negates the kick

 

[Summer Rose]

To continue my thoughts from the GDT, this is the way they ruled it:

A) It was a distinct kicking motion that played the puck towards the net, however that's legal in all zones unless it causes the puck to be propelled into the net.
B) It did not "deflect" off Hellebuyck's stick into the net, it was "propelled" by Hellebuyck's stick into the net (the rules use the verb "propel" all over the place to be distinct from "deflecting" the puck. This renders the ruling that the puck was kicked irrelevant.

I actually disagree on both accounts, however when you reverse it that way... it still results in a good goal.

I think it's a good goal, it's not kicked in a way it's going in on it's own.

You've already turned this into a "refs hate the Leafs" thread, impressive...

So an in-game addendum cool

My Leafs buddy who is sitting beside me doesn't get why it took that long to be a goal...

I know, the refs are out to screw all of you....

It’s a pass. So it’s a goal. HellySUCK needs to be HellyVEZINA. If he does the Jets role to the Cup.

Yeah, hellebuyck flubbed the kick out and the puck went in his own net.

No addendum here. Own goals have always been counted as legal goals.

 

[Forge]

I have no problem with this being a good goal

 

[tarheelhockey]

The referee’s explanation is baffling because there’s no need to consider the goalie’s role.

The puck visibly deflects off Petrovic’s stick on the way to the net (or more accurately, he uses his stick to direct its flight) which makes the goal valid under 49.2.ii regardless of what the goalie did.

 

[Ugene Magic]

It's a deflection off of his stick. He didn't propel it at all.

 

[Breakers]

This has happened before with pucks off gloves

It happened with quick

As soon as you use the term “propelled”
It cancels out everything before that

 

[ijuka]

? He didn't even kick it at the net. How's it his fault that Hellebuyck decides to whack it into his own net? If he hadn't done so, there would have been nothing wrong with his play.

 

[Ghost of Murph]

Official explanation took too long and sucked balls. Bottom line is the goal 100% should have counted, but the league situation room found a way to bungle things while still getting the end result correct.

 

[ToDavid]

Grey area in the rules but the “right” outcome in my opinion. That should be a goal.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

I want the Jets to win so the Stars will want to change things up a bit along with likely having to sell players for cap reasons and maybe the Habs can jump in on that.

But that's a goal. If Helly didn't touch it it wasnt going in.

Yes, I get youre not going to let a puck go in front, nor be thinking of that, but he knocked it in himself.

 

[Armourboy]

NHL got it wrong. It was kicked, goalie tried to stop it and it went in. No goal every day of the week except this one. NHL then created some BS reasoning to make it a goal.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

This ruling is going to open up a really grey area of teams punting the puck towards the net and forcing goalies to not make an attempt on the save for fear of “propelling” it into their own net. This was a distinct kicking motion and Helle went for the save. I really don’t like the call.
