[The Winter Soldier]

2-2 in Boston, and can you believe it Washington regain the lead secs later.

 

[CupInSIX]

LOL every time the Bruins announcer wants to go 'WOO' the Capitals score

 

[Roboturner913]

good Christ Tampa is fast

 

[The Macho King]

Why, the TB player was very clearly offside.

Did I say "worst call in sports"?

The rule is stupid. It was to fix a problem that didn't exist.

 

[Based Anime Fan]

God the Leafs get away with one pile of obstruction.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Rangers and Isles tied in the 3rd. A bevy of close games tonight.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

God the Leafs get away with one pile of obstruction.

Babcock coached teams have been getting away with interference for decades now.

He was dragging his toe and off by a millimeter while stepping into the bench, same difference.

There are lines drawn on the ice. They’re there for a reason. You don’t get a goal for “close enough”.

This is not a millimeter:

If the ref made the call there then I'd be fine with it. The challenge is just a dumb rule no matter how clear the call is.

You know that doesnt show anything. The reality is it's probably somewhere between the guys who are whining and you thinking it was 100% legit. I'm guessing a toss up call that video proved to be close enough to call back.

Nearly all pro sports have challenge calls. Refs miss a lot and if everyone else saw it, the call should be made correctly.

I don't see anything offsides in this photo

You are correct sorry, I did run it through again and he is still not in the door. I know the kids I coach get called for that all the time so at least they are consistent in all of hockey.

McLeod punched a linesman in the face, and the linesman didn’t even flinch. He was aiming for Martin

I don't really watch any other pro sports so can't really comment on that, but hockey is such a momentum game that a rule like that can completely ruin a game, and it has happened numerous times. Bad calls are annoying, I get it, but to have a playoff series or even the Stanley Cup decided by that rule would feel even worse than it being decided by a bad call.

That's why the penalty for a failed challenge is a two-minute minor.

What an odd injury to Orlov. He goes for the hit, Donato tries to step around at the split second before contact and Orlov finishes his hit with his head into Donatos shoulder.

 

[Foppberg]

If that's a good Philly goal... that's hilarious.

Hilariously horrible officiating.

Okay good even with the crazy biased Philly announcers.

 

[La Masse]

Babcock coached teams have been getting away with interference for decades now.

Yep Leafs are lucky to have one pp and 11-3 on shots in the 3rd

 

[Roboturner913]

The Canes broadcast had a wider view of it, it was definitely offsides and not close

Mods should create a dedicated "complain about reffing here" thread.

That at least reduced the number of challenges and stopped coaches to use them as a longer timeout (something Tampa did a lot), but it felt to me like the NHL realized that they made a dumb rule but didn't want to get completely rid of it just yet.

I think everyone realized the call itself was correct. We hate the rule, not the call.
