GDT: ECQF GAME 4 Ottawa (2) at BRUINS (1) 7:30 PM | NESN, USA, SN, TVAS, WBZ=FM 98.5

I think bruins get screwed by this rule more then anyone else. But that is blantant offsides we wouldn't want that to count against us. We been getting no breaks this series have to earn every single goal.

 

[Jorah Marshmont]

NHL: "We need more goals"
Also NHL: "Let's give teams a tool to show how bad our officials are while simultaneously calling back goals those same officials called good goals"

 

[Alicat]

They should have blown the play dead well before the goal. I hate that challenge

I love the fans reaction

 

[Sheppy]

It's like you can't even celebrate a goal anymore. You have to hold your breath for 30 seconds to make sure there wasn't a challenge.

Such ********.

I just said the same thing.

 

[Scotto74]

exactly. that was terrible too. and that one cost us a playoff game too, if I remember right (maybe against Buffalo)

yup tim the tool man taylor

 

[Drift]

This stuff reminds me of back when you couldn't have a foot in the crease even if it had nothing to do with the goalie.

 

[Hopedalebru]

Maybe that will wake them up. Let the rookie play the whole game....he doesn't seem to be tiring.

 

[Fossy21]

"A good call there by the linesmen"

WHO DIDN'T CALL IT OFFSIDE. GET IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME OR DON'T GET IT RIGHT AT ALL, YOU IDIOTS.

Let us challenge penalties and non-penalties too, **** KNOWS we'd benefit from that one.

 

[Mount Kramer Cameras]

It's like you can't even celebrate a goal anymore. You have to hold your breath for 30 seconds to make sure there wasn't a challenge.

Such ********.

Yup. It actually feels novel when a goal isn't challenged in some respect. Depressing.

 

[missingchicklet]

I remember the league when it was exciting to get a goal and momentum shifts were fun. Now a goal is scored and the first thing that happens is everyone wonders if the play will be challenged. The coaches are given a while to review it on their monitors to see if they want to challenge. The refs spend minutes looking at it on a small screen. Then the goal and excitement are taken away. Great job NHL. Superb!

 

[Paddington]

I believe the linesmen let more close plays go because they have the safety net of a video review. If they blow it dead on the spot, no harm, no foul. You drop the puck and move on. However, you overturn a goal, especially in a tight playoff game like this, and it can be a real letdown for the team that had the goal called back.

Ditto - Axelsson

 

[SPV]

Play was offside, I'd rather they get it right.

it's the rule, I suppose. just an incredibly stupid rule

 

[McBrom7]

How come we couldn't review Phanuef's OT goal again? If that **** is called back why the **** can we not challenge Dion's?

 

[trenton1]

The offside crap is ruining this game. It reminds me of the old "was the skate in the crease?"

it's the same thing. it will be gone in 2 years after it costs the leafs the cup.

 

[TwineTickler]

JFK needs in this series. I've seen enough of Spooner

 

[Fossy21]

Maybe that will wake them up. Let the rookie play the whole game....he doesn't seem to be tiring.

10-3 edge in scoring chances (11-3 including the goal).

"WAKE UP!"

 

[RedeyeRocketeer]

holy **** Spooner threw the body. Impressed

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

Puck in net 20 seconds later, Ottawa touches it.

So stupid. No bearing on play.

Agreed. And I've called it the other way too (when the Bruins challenged). Hate it.

And I don't like this product. I think the game is broken.

 

[JOKER 192]

If your going to challenge the play you should have to so on the spot, not when it results in a goal.

 

[SPV]

yup tim the tool man taylor

that's right. thanks.

Yes it is incredibly stupid and passes everyone off.

 

[toasterjam]

a way to avoid the whole challenge...work on not being offsides. Happens far too often to the bruins...DONT cut it so close, make it a point to be clearly onsides and then this **** wont matter.

I ****ing at the challenge rule...but that's what the rule is right now so the bruins need to ****ing adapt and just BE ****ING ONSIDES

 

[JRull86]

How come we couldn't review Phanuef's OT goal again? If that **** is called back why the **** can we not challenge Dion's?

It was automatically reviewed.

 

[RedeyeRocketeer]

They keep owning the dot
