GDT: Game 38: Columbus at St. Louis | 4/5 8:00 PM EDT | The most critical edition of them

Can the Blue defenseman prevent him from leaving the paint?

Calvert didn't try. He stopped and stayed there.

 

[Zarathustra]

Tell that to the 80 trillion other players that do that and get away with it.

This. Because a defensemen was pushing him towards the goaltender, it's a no goal? BS.

 

[JacketFanInFL]

We are playing two teams tonight.

 

[Zarathustra]

We are playing two teams tonight.

No delay of game penalty.
Weak call on Wiz.
Waved off goal.

Anything I'm missing?

 

[JacketFanInFL]

Prout has had a terrible game.

 

[major major]

Calvert didn't try. He stopped and stayed there.

That's what I saw as well.

 

[Zarathustra]

Prout has had a terrible game.

He's been terrible for a while.

 

[EpicDegree]

Our strong forecheck is noticeably...not strong tonight.

 

[major major]

Comeau looks good on the fourth line. Brings speed, energy, hitting.

 

[blahblah]

Calvert didn't try. He stopped and stayed there.

My issue is that you'll find 3 or 4 of those a week that get by the officials.

 

[MFRONE]

This isn't basketball though, there isn't a rule saying you can't be in the crease.

Allen never tried to make a save so I don't know how you can say he was prevented from making one.

 

[Robert]

The Blues broadcast team showed the no goal play once and barely showed that....

I'm sorry, that was a BS call on several levels...

 

[Zarathustra]

It was the right call, but we NEVER get that call.

Even on the Blues' GDT they're saying they were lucky on that one. Don't agree with the call, but hopefully we can come back and score a quick one like he had been.

Or maybe Calvert's just cursed.

 

[punk_o_holic]

How is that a good call? The defensemen isn't giving me a chance to move. Any contact was initiated by the blues player.

That's how things work. I've seen players get pushed into the crease and they disallow it because of the player in the crease.

 

[DJA]

Yeah, Prout looks awful tonight. Team looks slow, getting beaten to pucks, etc

 

[JacketFanInFL]

The Blues broadcast team showed the no goal play once and barely showed that....

I'm sorry, that was a BS call on several levels...

Yep, they were even saying JD won't like that call and so forth.

 

[GhostofBoomer]

Hate to admit but of all the goals we've had waved off this season, that's the most legitimate. Calvert's arm caught Allen's head. One of the few things the stripes have gotten right tonight, unfortunately.

 

[major major]

That's how things work. I've seen players get pushed into the crease and they disallow it because of the player in the crease.

This time Calvert didn't even get pushed in though.

 

[Zarathustra]

My issue is that you'll find 3 or 4 of those a week that get by the officials.

They just like to call them when they feel like it.

 

[EpicDegree]

Way too many defensive zone turnovers tonight. Blues forwards are winning every battle with our defenseman.

 

[aRussian]

We need to pick it up or I call loss right now. Only shots are just little shots from the point to get the faceoff in their zone

 

[DJA]

Need the tying goal. I think I would take a point out of this one and run away.

 

[punk_o_holic]

This time Calvert didn't even get pushed in though.

Exactly so if you get pushed and it doesn't count, why would it count if you go into the crease on your own?

 

[Zarathustra]

That's how things work. I've seen players get pushed into the crease and they disallow it because of the player in the crease.

I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but it doesn't make it a good, or correct call.

 

[FANonymous]

Not that I think it would help us, but why doesn't a play like that go to Toronto? Simply because it wasn't called a goal on the ice?
