"Distinct kicking motion" in Jets / Stars game

[NikoEhlers]

They basically went searching for a reason to allow the goal. It only took them 7 minutes. It wasnt propelled in to the net. The puck was rotating.

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

It's a conspiracy!

 

[fsanford]

Good goal it was called goal on the ice and very subjective if it was a true kicking motion.

If they called no goal on the ice you then say no goal for same reason.

 

[starsfan86]

I don’t think he even made a kicking motion to begin with. Looked more like he just angled his skate. Doesn’t matter. Would have been 4-2 if it was ruled no goal.

 

[Saidin]

If Helly put the puck into his own net, why was the goal awarded 2 assists?

 

[NextBigThing]

I have no idea what the actual rule is, but I do like seeing the sunbelt teams have success.

 

[Troy McClure]

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.

He wasn’t making a save attempt. He put it in his own net.

 

[Armourboy]

He wasn’t making a save attempt. He put it in his own net.

I disagree. That is considered a save attempt the rest of the year.

Ah, now this is where possession actually does matter. Since the Jets never had possession, him batting the puck into his net didn’t negate possession.

A puck needs to be going on net to be a save attempt.

 

[NikoEhlers]

There is no such thing as the goalie propelling it in to your own net, after a puck was kicked. Somebody help me find that in the rulebook. This was a mistake. It shouldnt have counted and gave Dallas the win.

 

[Armourboy]

No it doesn't it just needs to be going towards the net, otherwise blocker or glove saves that were going wide wouldn't be considered saves either.

Dallas scored two further goals and Winnipeg scored none. Without the goal, Dallas wins 4-2.

Because the previous goal doesn't change the course of a tight game or anything

We all know that is not how hockey works. That goal contributed to changing the game and what happened after

Had he batted the puck into the corner as he intended, it wouldn’t have been counted as a save. The puck wasn’t on net.

 

[joepeps]

stupid call... if it takes them 7 mins... burn that shit down lol...

They still got it wrong after 7 mins.

I agree. Regular season in a game the former ref analyst, in a similar situation, pointed out that angling the skate is not an issue. You have to actually make an obvious kicking motion at the puck in an attempt to kick it in the net. That didn't happen in the case in today's game. He clearly changed the angle of his skates without kicking the puck.

 

[BlueOil]

everyone knows hellebuyck can't handle the puck on his stick and the puck wasn't going in without hellebuyck misplaying it

jets don't have a leg to stand on here despite arniel whining in the presser

 

[Fatass]

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

Refs might not hate the Leafs, but I DO!

 

[budaj guy]

Absolutely a good goal…nothing to see here

 

[Armourboy]

Right. He just happened to be standing in the goalie area and the puck just magically came out of nowhere for him to touch it.

If Stone kicked it in against the Oilers, it would have been no goal.

League has its favorites, and the Jets are not one of them. It really is that simple.

 

[fsanford]

No it doesn't it just needs to be going towards the net, otherwise blocker or glove saves that were going wide wouldn't be considered saves either.

So a goalie who is out of a crease on a puck shot in from blue and attempts to play it with his stick to shoot it to the corner is a shot goal? Who knew.

I don't even know what you are trying to say.
