play to the whistle.

they're the ducks and you're the avs. they should get a freebie and you should still win.

The puck hit the netting in the back on a dump-in, but only Girard saw it. He had no idea what to do so he just ices it back in the Ducks zone, but they retrieved it and come down and score. Bush league by the league.
In every sport I've played, hockey, soccer and floorball, I was taught from a young age to play until the whistle.

Should've been blown dead, it wasn't. Avs definitely should've kept playing, they didn't.

Puck left the zone, no sympathy whatsoever for the goal against. This is a whiner thread of all whiner threads.

Helpful tip - anyone who thinks this Ducks incident is the crime of the century should never, ever, ever watch baseball.

I don't understand why the play has to stop when the puck is on the netting anyway. Why?

To me, the netting is like the dasher on the boards. If the puck is on the dasher, they don't blow the whistle, so why the netting? Just poke it / play it.

On a different topic, those Ducks' uniforms are.... something.
They installed the netting because a fan died after getting hit by a puck. If the netting was not there, the puck would've gone into the stands, so obviously out of play

It was a bad call but saying Girard had “no idea what to do” is nonsense. He stopped momentarily and then the refs very audibly told him to play on, which he did. Throwing it up the ice to no one was his own bad decision and the Avs got scored on because of a defensive breakdown, not because they believed the play was dead.

This is why I have no issue with players signalling to the ref when a puck goes offside, out of rink, hitting the netting etc. refs miss things.

I posted it earlier, but once the puck leaves the defensive zone, it's not reviewable anymore.
Wtf is that loophole to the rule?!

So Game 7 Stanley Cup Final overtime, it hits the netting and because the players didn't quit, its not reviewable?! What genius thought of that one?!

This is the crime of the century for hockey:

  • Illegally grabs the puck out of the air and carries it
  • Tries to throw it into the net
  • It doesn't even go into the net
  • They call it the overtime game winning goal

I mean it's the same rules regarding offside challenging. Once it's left the zone it's considered a different play and no impact on the current goal. You have to have a limitation somewhere or else you get the other end of the issue where you could get an extended amount of time where the play continues and then something gets called back for an incident that happened 5+ minutes prior that had zero effect on a current goal.

I think the rule is pretty fair, once it comes out of the zone it gives the defending team a chance to re-establish themselves. In this situation the Avs got full possession of the puck, he had the puck on his stick for 5 full seconds before dumping it out on the glass. It was quite obvious the refs weren't stopping play by that point. When you grow up playing hockey you're taught to play until the whistle.
