Devils fans throw beer on ice, Leafs bench. Cause delay of game.

3rd goal sure that's a clear kick. 2nd goal, okay Tatar run into Murry whatever. The 1st one though, the one that could've gave the Devils the lead was such a ticky tacky call. Their skate blades barely touched and Murray still had full range of motion. But adding to it, watching the replay and seeing Marner latch onto Bastian on the ground for 5 seconds with no call made it worse.

Terribly reffed game top to bottom. Outside of the called off goals the refs had no idea what they were doing half the time.
 
The league told the NJ feed the only mistake was not calling the penalty, so you were right, the refs screwed up by not penalizing the Devils there.
Figures, the refs actually helped New Jersey on multiple occasions by forgiving clear and blatant infractions and yet the New Jersey fans are the ones feeling aggrieved.

There should have been a tripping/interference penalty on Tatar.
There should have been a delay of game penalty on the home team.

In my opinion, they both should've been no goal. Two wrongs don't make a right.
Probably not, but considering how weak the goaltender interference call was, and the fact that an identical type play has been called a goal in the past, you can certainly understand the frustration from Devils fans? Throwing garbage on the ice is not cool. But definitely also a tough way to end a pretty remarkable streak.

Holding on Marner? Delay of game on Murray? Cute that you think there was bias towards New Jersey instead of the officials just being completely incompetent and unqualified for their jobs.

joking aside. As a Leafs fan I'd say this:

1) all the 3 disallowed goals were right calls. its just a weird coincidence that all 3 happened in the same game

2) Devils are a beauty team. 3 disallowed goals but the shoulders did not drop, they kept working hard and almost tied the game at the end there

3) Devils are mentally tough. Thats gonna help the team long into the future (including playoffs).

4) if the script had flipped; Leafs are not that mentally strong to tough it out and keep working hard. I have history and plenty of heart breaks as a Leafs fan to make this claim.

5) Kudos to the Devils and Devils fans that is one heck of a club you guys have there.
 
We also lost a 3-2 lead in game 6 because the refs called every possible Tampa dive

But sure, the refs are out to help us lmao

Seriously. Do we even want to remind these people of the game where Kadri got suspended but Debrusk was doing the exact same thing the entire game?

I would love it if we got 3 goals called back in a meaningless regular season game if it meant we didn't get f***ed by the refs every which way in the playoffs for raising our intensity and playing physical like every other team does.

If it was intentional they should be firing these officials for not knowing the rules after ruling it intentional. I am completely fed up with the blatant incompetence tolerated by this league. At what point do people have enough of this? Every game it's the same bullshit officiating ruining the sport.

I mean Chris Rooney has been doing this for over a decade. If he doesn't know the rules at this point, will he ever learn?
So you are pissed you didnt get a penalty on the play as well?

I'm confused.
 
I'm not looking at past examples from other games. I'm simply looking at this play and the rules. And by the rules, it's no goal.

Again, if that’s “by the rules,” Tatar should have been assessed a penalty. You see the issue there?

Are you saying the third goal had no kicking motion?
 
How many names can I call you without getting banned?

You know damn well that statement is bullshit and that your team got smoked.
I am from Toronto and will say the NJD were the way better team tonight. Leafs got some solid goaltending that kept them in it.

Moving forward, the Devils are a fast, super high skilled team. Exciting to watch. Give them a few seasons to mature and look out.

As far as the leafs go, they are finished. Failed build that is entering a rebuild that most fans can’t admit.

I wonder what the record is for most disallowed goals in a single game?
 
Probably not, but considering how weak the goaltender interference call was, and the fact that an identical type play has been called a goal in the past, you can certainly understand the frustration from Devils fans? Throwing garbage on the ice is not cool. But definitely also a tough way to end a pretty remarkable streak.

In my original post I said I understand the frustration at 3 goals being called back, especially for fans at the arena that don't have the best replay views.

I just think with our replays, goal 2 and 3 are obvious no goals and goal #1 is 50/50 because goaltender interference in the crease with slight contact has been a shit show for years.

I'm pissed that officials colossally f*** up the majority of games in this league and we have to spend our time talking about them instead of the product put on by the players. The league doesn't seem to care that their product is tainted this way.

Actually the 2nd one was the most tacky. As per the rules, if the refs deemed it incidental contact, that should have been ruled a good goal. If they it wasn’t seen as incidental Tatar should have been assessed a penalty…and he wasn’t.

Edit: and ohh yeah, this was previously called a goal against the Devils:



Well that creates a blur in the league standard....

That is definitely true. If the Leafs had 3 goals called back, they would probably lose this game 5-1 because they would just give up at some point in the game.

If we had Andersen or Campbell in net, this game would have been a Devils win in regulation after that lengthy delay. They wilt under the slightest bit of pressure.
 
In my opinion, they both should've been no goal. Two wrongs don't make a right.

I'm sure that the officials deemed the player as trying to avoid contact when he lifted his one skate out of the way, but I don't think that's enough.

I understand their thought process on calling that one a goal, but I don't agree with it.

Well yeah, that's the entire point. The league's consistency is awful so can't be mad when the leagues fans call them out on it.
