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

[Divine]

Sportsnet panel grasping at straws. Whistle or no whistle the play was clearly dead by the time Bobrovsky tries to stand up.

What makes it dead if there's no whistle? The fact he stood up? That's on him.

Tampa scored against the Leafs last series after the whistle was clearly blown and the puck squeaked through Samsonov. It was ruled continuation on the first shot, even though the whistle was blown.

That's why Sportsnet is talking about it. The NHL literally told them the puck is allowed to go in after the whistle as long as no other player touches it after the whistle is blown

 

[pcruz]

They had an angle.

Show it.

The only angle that has ever been talked about has the puck resting on the post.

The post is the line, so there's no space between the puck and the goal line.....


No conclusive goal.

 

[NeelyWasAWarrior]

Florida didn't exactly inspire confidence in that period, I think the Leafs will pull this out.

Florida is one of the best 3rd period teams in the league. I wouldn't go against them at this point.

 

[The Grim Reaper]

People care a lot more about this shit than I do apparently. You have an entire period left to win or lose the game, simple as that.

 

[BB79]

What do you think?

I think I see the puck in the overhead, doesn't even look close to being in..as in none of it is even over the goal line

 

[kwichang]

Dont you think the ref that made the call knows when he blew the whistle?

 

[SatanicToedrag]

Hi guys what is cooking looks like everything is going smooth ok take care now

 

[ViD]

Now the Leafs fans can join the Flames fans with their own it was in moment.

 

[robertocarlos]

Brett Hull was in the crease!

 

[thedarkstark]

It's hilarious that this is even a debate, it was very clearly not a goal, the only reason people haven't moved on is because it's the LOLeafs, so we're going to be hearing about this for the next 40 years "we could've won 2 2nd round games!!"

 

[Joeffice]

Sportsnet is brutal

Maybe there is a different sportsnet...?

Because the Rogers national broadcast panel is, in fact, pretty good.
They are pretty fair considering the massive homer pressure of Toronto being in the playoffs.

The truly brutal broadcasts are local American ones.

 

[hatterson]

TNT is doing a good job of breaking down the no goal call. Im sure sportsnet is being just as objective as they are.

Really? They spent the entire time talking about when the whistle blew.

One guy tried to talk about where the puck was under the pad right at the start and they just never showed the relevant replay despite him mentioning it multiple times.

TNT has spent something like 10 minutes cumulatively talking about the completely irrelevant part of the play.

I don't care if they're being objective in doing that, they're still doing a really, really, really poor job or discussing what matters.

 

[GMR]

Lundqvist is right. No way Bobrovsky stands up unless he knows the play is dead.

 

[AcerComputer]

Puck shifted back into the net when he lifted his pad. You see it move backwards.

Half his pad was behind the goal line, he then spun forward, then lifted his leg. The puck was in way earlier, just like when the goalie catches the puck behind the line, just can't prove it, because no camera angle. It's the right call in the end, since call on the ice was no goal.

 

[Strangle]

Yeah but that doesn't matter, the puck's lodged in the same place regardless. It's constantly under the same spot under his pad. They're not really meant to be the same time stamp, the first photo's just supposed to show where the puck was.

Everyone knows the puck was in. The problem was the call on the ice and no clear shot of the puck in the net.

If the call on the ice was goal, it would have stood.

Refs again obviously playing favorites for the leafs

 

[HTFN]

That's not true, one replay clearly shows what part of the pad it's under and another clearly shows that part of the pad over the line. Doesn't matter since what anyone wants is irrelevant, it's no goal by the rules, and it's nice they are finally using the rules to make calls.

I'm not trying to convince you, or anyone, just stating what's been shown on TV.

So timestamp them to the game clock.

and even then, it still wouldn't be the way NHL replay rules work so... oh well. Shush.

 

[vaspa]

Toronto is finally carrying the play, dominating possession.

But...

Toronto's supposed stars are still not finishing on anything.

4th Line is outplaying the core four and it's only two guys.

Yeah but that doesn't matter, the puck's lodged in the same place regardless. It's constantly under the same spot under his pad. They're not really meant to be the same time stamp, the first photo's just supposed to show where the puck was.

It does matter because the second photo doesn't show where his leg is in relation to the goal line. He could have moved his leg forward(which as indicated by where it showed after the whistle) or he could have moved his hand back. It's inconclusive. Thus why it was ruled no goal.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Show it.

No conclusive goal.

They literally showed it in the intermission when the period ended. It was like a month ago, I’m not going to look for it.

 

[The Grim Reaper]

Dont you think the ref that made the call knows when he blew the whistle?

I’m pro ref, but that’s not a good argument.

 

[CaptainKirk]

People care a lot more about this shit than I do apparently. You have an entire period left to win or lose the game, simple as that.

It’ll be used as an excuse for years, ignoring the first three games.

 

[Tom Polakis]

Just posting so summer rose can give me that like

I just waded through 8 pages to see how she weighed in on the puck being over the goal line or not, and have come up empty.

 

[IceBoxHockey]

What do you think?

What I think is your images don’t match up time wise.

 

[kwichang]

I’m pro ref, but that’s not a good argument.

Really? explain

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Sportsnet is brutal

Only when doing a Toronto game. Or when Toronto is playing another game. Or when Toronto already played a game. Or when Toronto is getting ready to play a game the next day. Or when Matthews takes a morning dump and it is an especially nice one.

Outside of that they are ok.
