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

[OurlordAndSaviorKuch]

This has been a joke all night and just absurd.

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

f***ing joke of a league

It’s one goal down and it’s Tampa, game is still far from over.

 

[FMichael]

TB getting screwed

 

[Mr Kot]

Another Dallas-Sabres situation today?

So an absurd joke

This isn’t worth watching with the outcome already decided. I’m switching over to the higher end officiated league the NBA.

 

[Clint Eastwood]

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.

That too. He literally gets asked his opinion on calls. He literally can't be wrong.

meanwhile at the very least it should be tied.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

No, they counted that goal

 

[Panthers Propaganda]

Our inability to score on the PP is gonna cost us

He just like me fr.

Yeah, that's kind of what opinions are

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

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

Why not just go to the shootout because with all these bullshit rules there is no way to score.

 

[Phil Kessels Hot Dog]

Two obvious interference calls IMO

 

[Terry Yake]

what a huge break for the panthers

Damn that's a good joke

 

[kanucks25]

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

It was the right call.

Whoever thinks is not does not know the rules or at least precedent that has been set.

If the opposing player goes into the crease himself and makes any sort of contact, it's no goal. The amount of contact usually doesn't matter and how much the goalie was impeded from making the save could be subjective so it's not even taken into consideration unless it's one of those where the puck was already past the goalie.

 

[GhostfaceWu]

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.

No he didn't you see him standing up to look around the tb player the moment the shot is taken towards the other side of the net before contact could even oxcurr.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Maybe the refs think Tampa got relocated to Western Canada

 

[BelovedIsles]

Great goaltending from two legends. They both play similar styles, big and athletic.

I'm watching baseball. and junior hockey (poorly officiated too).

 

[MaxDummy]

It's the right call, but let's not act like way worse has counted before lol.

the panthers defender had his elbow on the back and bob was not completely in the crease when the contact was initiated. The ol don't know the rules like you memorized the rulebook bit.
