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

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.

I thought it was a good no-goal call.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Not going to Google it, but does Hank have more points than Biz in the NHL?

 

[Svencouver]

Why are they not using the puck tracking technology in the stupid f***ing puck trails for this instead of relying on shitty camera angles

 

[robertocarlos]

Ron likes drinking jokes. Drinking and jokes.

 

[Laus723]

But when exactly was the play dead?

Does anyone actually think Bob is going to stand up if he doesn’t KNOW the play is dead?

 

[Albz]

Lol that literally shows puck over the line lmao

 

[NeelyWasAWarrior]

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

You sync up the whistle with the puck and put a chip in that will conclusively show that it passed the goal line. Problem solved.

NHL is a Micky mouse league that still doesn't have goal line technology in 21st century while FIFA has had it for many years now. NHL keeps making these Micky mouse rule changes while still can't figure out where the puck is lol. Gary Buttman needs to get off his butt and do something. In an era of AI we still need 80 year old geriatrics looking on their 12 inch monitors to see where the puck is

 

[hatterson]

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

They definitely don't. Bob's blocker is on the post in the second image but not yet there on the first.

 

[ijuka]

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

They aren't supposed to match. The first one just shows where the puck was - it was in the same relative location the whole time. It's meant to show what part of the pad it's under.

 

[Razamanaz]

Keep on rockin' in the free world brothers and sisters.
As long as Finland win it.

 

[SUX2BU]

Inconclusive, good call

 

[Tuggy]

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

That should be obvious to everyone. Which some seem to have trouble understanding. When has a goalie ever got up in that situation unless they know the play is dead?

 

[DANTHEMAN1967]

It was in, bad call.

 

[JimmyApples]

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.

They’re openly cheering Toronto on. And Cuthbert and Simpson are bigger homers than Blue HF posters.

They need to build cameras into the goal posts somehow, facing down at the line...8k cameras. 7-11 security footage from 1994 quality is no good

 

[Strangle]

You ever see a play in sports where one team pretends there is no play, but then they start playing? Happens in baseball and football to fool the other team

But if you can't prove the puck didn't move, you can't prove shit.

 

[Svencouver]

Like there is literally a sensor in the puck. They put one in there. Why is it not being used?? Hell, you could have a day 1 computer science intern hook it up to the goal horn and lights, too, so its all done programatically when the puck crosses the line. I will do it for them if they pay me

 

[hatterson]

That should be obvious to everyone. Which some seem to have trouble understanding. When has a goalie ever got up in that situation unless they know the play is dead?

Goalies are also great at subtly shifting forward on the ice while keeping things covered up so that by the time the puck becomes visible, it's visible in a spot outside the line. That's exactly what Bob did.

 

[McFlyingV]

What do you think?

Here's why this is somewhat deceiving. In the front view we can see the puck below the pad before the gold stripe on Bobrovsky's pad ends. This shows us that the puck is higher up the pad than where the foot crease of the pad begins. The deceiving part of the overhead view is because of how loose goalies wear their pads. When a goalie goes into the butterfly their skate and leg travels away from the pad because of how loose goalies wear their pads, and thats why it looks like more of his pad is in the net than really is. From the overhead view you can see the writing on the side of the pad. That writing doesn't cross the red line, and the writing ends where the foot crease of the pad begins.

The play was very clearly dead regardless of a whistle. Every player had stopped playing and the linesman had left their positions to go to the net.

We're so dumb we took Laine instead of AM.

Patrick Roy would have stood up immediately, raising his hand.

Chip idea is good if they can get the ones that withstand 100 mph slapshots
