Group A • Dec. 31 • Canada vs. USA - Part II

[M.C.G. 31]

That looks in off the right arm of Lazar.

 

[AngelDuck]

He clearly ran into Demko.

But it will stand because Canada will riot if it doesn't

 

[OilerPensfan97]

Lazar can go in the crease because the puck is in there!

He can't contact the goaltender though, can he?

 

[Sharpshooter]

Lazar is the master of the NHL '94 goal.

Loved that game.

 

[y2kcanucks]

Based on the IIHF rules this is a good goal

 

[Lehner]

I think it should count, watching the replay.

 

[Thucydides]

No goal

 

[The Saw Is the Law]

I don't think it went in by Lazar's stick...

 

[JJTT]

What are you watching?

Didn't see the replay..

 

[ChocolateLeclaire]

He was in the crease. Isn't that not allowed in International hockey? Goalie couldn't make the save. Hm.

Not if he's following the puck.

 

[Gigantor The Goalie]

There's no way this isn't a goal. Wasn't kicked in and Lazar was in the crease after the puck entered.

 

[jdatb]

lol jeopardy music

 

[fmrdh]

50/50 I say

 

[jacobhockey13]

Lazar holds it in his chest

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

Not sure about IIHF rules in this case. I thought there was a no skates in the crease rule.

 

[IHaveNoCreativity]

That's a good goal. I don't see interference there.

 

[4thlinegrinders]

lol @ the jeopardy music

 

[Cody Webster]

That's a good goal. No direct motion.

In the crease, interference, shouldn't be a goal

 

[Rayban*]

That play looks soo shady skating through the goalie.

 

[Rosso Scuderia]

Why wouldn't it be a goal?

 

[FirewagonChange]

He kicked it in

 

[gphr513]

Waiting for the freakout when the decision comes down

 

[Richter915]

no kicking motion but he interfered with teh goalie...

 

[AlternateSideParking]

Lazar made no attempt to avoid Demko. On the NHL thats no goal.

 

[sda]

My thoughts exactly

And the fourth line looks much better without Virtanen as well
