ECQF Game 5: Florida Panthers @ Toronto Maple Leafs | 7PM ET | TNT, CBC, SN, TVAS

[Auston Marlander]

You’re welcome. Someone has to call you out on your delusion.

It's not delusion when you can piece together 2 very clear pieces of information from 2 camera angles. Unfortunately for the Leafs that's not how goals can be called. 1 angle showing it in, or it doesn't count.

 

[Garbo Man]

Intent to blow the whistle gives the refs too much power and shouldn’t be a thing. It’s blown, or it’s not, simple as that.

Like I said previously they blew the whistle because Rielly started Celebrating like he scored

 

[Cody Webster]

ya, sure bud

Sorry, watching basketball, what happened?

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

The 3rd should be a good one.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

20mins left with the season on the line. Now the core 4 will kick it into high gear and show us a level we've never seen before. Florida doesn't know what's about to hit them.

 

[HTFN]

*The portion of his pad that had the puck under it was fully over the line.

How do we know which portion it was under, the angle from outside the blue line shows it.

Again goals can't be called by inference.

The angle outside the blue line didn't do anything to show the puck crossed the line, and the rules are very clear that you can't 1+1 that type of thing to guess where the puck fully is even if it seems like common sense.

There was no angle to overturn the call.

 

[Lorenzo1000]

Its not, the puck is stuck well above skate level and slides to skate level when he lifts the pad. You can't know if that puck has 1 millimetre of it touching the line. This has been talked about many times, but the NHL needs puck tracking technology for situations like this.

Yes you can from the replays from in front of the net that the puck was actually stuck under his right goal pad. The puck only moved back towards the goal after Bobrovsky got up after the play was whistled dead.

 

[Travis093]

Why would they show a replay in the building of the puck going in when the goalie is getting up after the play is dead. Lol

I know somebody who works for the arena. They search through all the footage and select the best angle that shows a goal. It gets the crowd going and pumped up. They also hope that it could influence and bias the refs hearing the crowd. And if it is called back the crowd is still riled up

 

[Master P]

Omg stop ignoring the fact his pad was pushed.

Do you need to hear it from sportsnet for it to enter your brains?

 

[Daximus]

Like I said previously they blew the whistle because Rielly started Celebrating like he scored

Yeah honestly if he doesn't celly then they likely keep play going a bit longer there.

 

[Bread and Circuses]

It's hilarious listening to them pander to Leafs fans. I wonder if they actually buy into this.

Leafs fans have been buying into the hype (literally) for a long, loooong time.

 

[Metroid]

Like I said previously they blew the whistle because Rielly started Celebrating like he scored

Cuz he did score.

 

[hatterson]

It's hilarious listening to them pander to Leafs fans. I wonder they actually buy into this.

It's not even pandering. Pandering would be talking about how much of the pad was in the net and that the puck was under the pad without mentioning anything about the question of if Rielly pushing the pad in negates it.

Instead they focused on something that was totally irrelevant and called in their rules expert multiple times to discuss something that had absolutely zero impact on the play.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Spectacular call by the refs.

Clear no goal.

What intent to blow the whistle? The whistle was blown and it was because Rielly was celebrating. The only reason the puck even went in was because the whistle was blown and Bobrovsky got up

 

[IceManCat]

his palms are sweaty knees weak arms are heavy hes nervous but on the surface he looks calm and ready to drop bombs



To the third !!!

 

[Spurgeon]

TNT broadcast has been very fair in their coverage imo

 

[The Grim Reaper]

Like I said previously they blew the whistle because Rielly started Celebrating like he scored

I wasn’t talking about this play specifically.

 

[w e l o s t b o y s]

Like I said previously they blew the whistle because Rielly started Celebrating like he scored

sounds like a terrible reason to blow the whistle

 

[Do Make Say Think]

You'd be too if you job was on the line

It's the NHL and he's a good ol white Canadian boy. The only way he doesn't stay in the NHL is if he wants out.

Keith Jones works for an NHL front office.

The puck was loose, you're allowed to bang at a loose puck

You're acting like he had possession of it

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Next goal wins

 

[TheBeard]

Intent to blow the whistle gives the refs too much power and shouldn’t be a thing. It’s blown, or it’s not, simple as that.

Maybe if the leafs players didn’t stop playing to celebrate a goal the play would have continued.

 

[zeykshade]

Leafs will tie this game as long as Morgan Reilly plays 18 minutes of the next 20...

 

[kwichang]

FLA scores early in the 3rd and the leafs fold.

THat would be a dagger to be sure
