The best part of the inning streak was seeing salty fans of other teams fanbase chime in here while their team won 0 cups during our 2012-13 to 2021-22 years of being bad (minus the 2017-18 season). They kept trying to shit on our parade and than when you look to see what team they root for you can understand why they are so bitter haha.

Wait why did NJ fans throw Oilers fans on the ice?
:laugh::laugh:

What did the Oilers do? I would think a leafs fan would call the Bruins, Habs, and Sens trash before saying the Oilers.

Good thing I swallowed the water I was drinking right before reading your post or my screen would be very wet.
 
Sounds like the Devils just got sick of the arbitrary nature of NHL game management (aka reffing) and the contradictory subjectivity that is the video review system.

And instead of listening to teams and fans the nhl does everything it can to shield dudes who are very bad at their jobs.

The league needs to be more transparent. They need to show the exact replays the refs are looking at on the videoboard in the arena and at home. They have pulled that bs in the past before that well we have cameras in certain spots but only the war room in Toronto can see them.

The MLS shows exactly what the refs see when they look at replays. NHL needs to wake up and do the same. I shouldn't have to look at clips online while I'm at the game to get a better look than the multi million dollar video board that's right in front of me showing a sponge bob clip instead.
 
Watching Murray rip out his net with his hand in a clear blatant delay of game penalty (that didn't get called by the refs) was the cherry on top for all the disallowed goals. Murray wasn't even smooth with it, he straight up used his hand and pushed it off on purpose because the leafs were hemmed in the zone. Between that and the weak calls this game was straight up BS. Refs literally decided the outcome of this game on a historic winning streak.
 
The third was textbook kicking motion. Anyone who has ever read the rule knows it's obviously no goal. First two you can argue about.

Honestly, probably would've happened in most arenas with 3 disallowed goals. Pretty wild.
First two were utter garbage and could only happen with the Leafs or Crosby on the other end. Having three goals called back, two errantly, in a 2-1 final might bring some ire from the fans.

Murray embellished an interference in last week's game as well. He's almost a soccer player at this point.
 
I mean, 2 of them were obvious no goals per the rules. First one could of went either way.
Second was a good goal per rules. Murray out of the crease, there is nothing preventing Tatar from taking the route he took. According to the rulebook there were absolutely no grounds to wave that goal off. Blown call.

The goalie has a right to enter back into his net. The NJ players path prevented him from doing so. Had he gone the long way round, he would not have made contact with the goalie, thus it is not a reasonable effort to avoid contact when there was a safer route to leave the zone. Even if you thought it was a reasonable effort, you have to remember that the goalie must always have the ability to make the save. Anytime there is contact even outside of the crease, you're never gonna get the call for a goal. If you were more than a casual fan you would know that.
The goalie is out of the crease. You are interpreting this differently than the rule book.

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; or (2) an attacking player initiates intentional or deliberate contact with a goalkeeper, inside or outside of his goal crease. Incidental contact with a goalkeeper will be permitted, and resulting goals allowed, when such contact is initiated outside of the goal crease, provided the attacking player has made a reasonable effort to avoid such contact."

Clearly:
1. Outside the crease
2. Not deliberate impeding.

The goal should count. I don't know any other way to interpret the rule as written.

The second call was horrendous.

There is absolutely no argument that can be made for the second one being called off. The only arguable thing is that the ref should’ve called a penalty on Tatar. That’s debatable.

But once he didn’t call a penalty and the devils scored there is no subjectivity or decision to be made. It’s a goal by the rule book. If there’s incidental contact outside of the crease the goal stands.

If the ref thought it wasn’t incidental he would’ve/should’ve called it a penalty. He didn’t. Goal should’ve stood. There’s literally no possible argument against it. That’s the rule book.

Ref made up his own rules and I would love to see an explanation for that one. (Won’t happen because there’s no possibly good explanation).
 
1st goal is debatable. Slight contact made in the crease but by the time the shots actually there he’s out and Murray is able to extend. Murray also doesn’t react in a way that suggests he thought he was interfered with. Frustrating as a fan and I think that’s a weak goaltender interference but I can understand them not changing it given the call on the ice and the fact that there was some early contact in the crease.

2nd one without a doubt went completely against the rule book as explained above. Ref made up his own rules for that.

3rd one seems to have been the correct call from what I’ve seen but does seem to be kind of dumb. Haula didn’t even kick it in the direction of the net. Annoying but seems to follow the rule book unlike the second.

There isn't a fan base alive that wouldn't lose it on home ice with 3 disallowed goals in one game.
There’s almost no reason for anybody to act like that. It’s inexcusable behaviour. It was inexcusable when New Jersey fans did it last night and it was inexcusable seven years when Toronto fans did it during the Jays-Rangers bat flip game.

while i agree, it's inexcusable behaviour. it is often observed, when the masses give the individuum kind of anonymity.

It can't be inexcusable behaviour if there's almost no reason to act like that.

With 3 disallowed goals I'm surprised they didn't go for the punk-rock classic: shitting in your own hands and throwing the turd.

No, they didn't. The teams decided the outcome.

I included the “almost” because I was trying to avoid someone coming up with a bizarre edge case where such behaviour might make sense. I should’ve left it out.
Tavares is secretly a alien trying to take over the world and the only think that hurts him is beer?👽

It’s strange seeing this new crop of Devils fans who are all of a sudden interested in hockey. You can’t kick the puck in the net, you’ll get used to it eventually.
