ECQF/ Game 5 - Florida Panthers vs Tampa Bay Lightning, 7pm ET

[RiverbottomChuck]

Florida has no reason to lose. Winning two 50/50 calls in one night is rare.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

I envy his job. He gets to watch hockey games and be asked 2-3 questions a night. It's the easiest job ever.

Has that piece of crap ever said it was a bad call?

 

[The don godfather]

Hope tampa wins for justice. Unreal screw job.

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Are we watching the same game? That was a terrible challenge, lol.

 

[BMOK33]

Thank God at least they changed the rule where you can challenge those now, I recall when if the goal was waived off like that for a time you could not even challenge it. I believe its still true if a minor is called, would have been worse if they called him for GI and 2 mins

 

[Idiot Stick]

Why doesnt tampa try scoring without interfering?
Are they stupid?

 

[hatterson]

I envy his job. He gets to watch hockey games and be asked 2-3 questions a night. It's the easiest job ever.

And he doesn't even need to provide an ounce of insight or accuracy. He can just parrot what the ref did and collect his paycheck.

 

[GhostfaceWu]

Are people seriously disputing that? He crossed right through the goalie crease

He didn't even touch bobvroski he missed the save cause he was trying to see around the screen. If they would have called that a goal on the ice and Panthers challenged it they most likely call it a good goal.

And just say “great call, I absolutely loved everything about that call.”

Dude steals money from ESPN.

The working man is a sucka

 

[Bruce Granville]

Understandable why it's called no goal due to the contact but I don't think the contact had any effect on Bob. That puck was pretty much past him before he moved.

Just like the first no goal.
But both times Tampa was interfering…

 

[Straight Fire]

I mean all of the contact was right at the edge of the crease with the Panther on the other side and Bob pushed up to the top of it. I think that's pretty tough.

Put it this way if it was called a goal on the ice I doubt Florida would have challenged.

 

[Oilslick941611]

bolts cup window closes if they lose this one, right?

its over regardless. They have no depth and have been bleeding players over the years and not replacing them with quality.

 

[GQS]

It's really a simple call.

You're not entitled to cut between a player and the crease. The defender is absolutely allowed to just stand there, which he did. Just because the attacker is trying to spin off him doesn't mean he can spin into the crease.

There wasn't a ton of contact and Bob clearly made the most of it, but there was still contact so there was zero chance it was going to get reversed.

The 'contact' was brushing against Bob. Didn't even do enough to move him in the slightest. Weak ass calls in a weak ass league that hates any kind of physical contact these days.

Why the hell would the NHL care who wins this series... If anything they'd fix it to force game 7 for more revenue

 

[OurlordAndSaviorKuch]

This is just f***ing absurd

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

TB kills PP

Onto 3rd period with it 2-1 Panthers

 

[Panthaz89]

He didn't even touch bobvroski he missed the save cause he was trying to see around the screen. If they would have called that a goal on the ice and Panthers challenged it they most likely call it a good goal.

Yeah he did when Bob tried to go through him he was in the crease which the goalie has the right to otherwise teams would just have a guy stand in the crease to impede the goalie from making a save there.

 

[MaxDummy]

I'm a habs fan. Those kind of calls go against Gallagher all the time

You missed the part where Cirelli made obvious contact as he was spinning across the crease.

Obvious contact? He spins, yes. In the blue paint, yes. I see no contact tho, only Bob diving

don't think it's fixed but that was a terrible call.

 

[JFleegs]

f***ing joke of a league

 

[Seedtype]

TB goalie is standing strong.

 

[MikeyMike01]

Are people seriously disputing that? He crossed right through the goalie crease

It’s definitely the correct call, any contact at all in the case (even minor) is prohibited.

> 69.3 Contact Inside the Goal Crease - If an attacking player initiates contact with a goalkeeper, incidental or otherwise, while the goalkeeper is in his goal crease, and a goal is scored, the goal will be disallowed

 

[KCC]

Hope tampa wins for justice. Unreal screw job.

There was no screw job. Dude was a foot into the crease. You have to be allowed to give the goalie his space still. Not to mention he tried to spin the wrong way. lol. It was a very easy call.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

don't think it's fixed but that was a terrible call.

Don't get in the way of a good conspiracy theory.
