GDT: Hockey Day in Canada

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Rare occurrence alert: Tanner Glass on the ice for a goal that his team scored. Only the second time this season.

Needs an asterisk given the team it was against

Just turned the Rangers game on in Arizona a bit ago, how many fans there are for the Rangers? You would almost think the game was at MSG

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

nothing. i was laughing that Leafs fans voted for Bernier more than Habs fans voted for Price.

This makes no sense.

He was on the ice for another goal. I say give him the first star.

 

[Snakepit]

Miller in the zone so far

 

[bluefan]

That'll be an interesting call in the Stars@Avs game lol.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Man what an embarrassing dive by Sedin there . . .

 

[JurassicTunga]

Weak goal on Ramo.

And it's a no goal! Hitting the face is not, I repeat, is apparently not maintaining control

Can't stop the Latvian.

We all know who is going to start in next year's all-star game now. 3 goals in 7 games.

There are displaced NY'ers everywhere.... especially in Phx. Florida is another big one.

Opposing team's fans filling up the building in Arizona isn't exactly a new thing.

 

[dechire]

Stars looking rough after losing 3 of their top 6 last night

 

[Captain Bowie]

Hard to question starting Miller tonight now. Hope he keeps this up.

Man what an embarrassing dive by Sedin there . . .

Hopefully a video of it comes up later... It was pathetic.. He jumps/propels himself forward to sell it..

He got pretty good air on that one

They're in a tight playoff race right now.. Reverted to old ways to try and win games.

Entertaining 1st period.. Feels like a playoff game thus far!

 

[Canucks LB]

Kenins has some serious third line potential.

Rule 78.4 says that

A goal shall be scored if the puck is put into the goal in any way by a player of the defending side.

Rule 78.5 says that

Apparent goals shall be disallowed by the Referee and the appropriate announcement made by the Public Address Announcer for the following reasons:
(i) When the puck has been directed, batted or thrown into the net by an attacking player other than with a stick.

So I guess the argument is that the defender didn't put the puck in because he didn't have possession. But there is nothing in the rule book that I can find that says anything about the defender having possession.

Edit: I was wrong. It was the right call.

Rule 67.6

Disallowed Goal - A goal cannot be scored by an attacking player who bats or directs the puck with his hand into the net. A goal cannot be scored by an attacking player who bats or directs the puck and it is deflected into the net off any player, goalkeeper or official. When the puck enters the net on a clear deflection off a glove, the goal shall be allowed.

Have you seen our powerplay? Last thing we should be doing to get an edge is dive for calls.

You guys might have a bad PP, but that dive was so blatantly obvious... Cringe worthy.

Calgary seems to be good at the minor interference, hooks and holds that don't get called. Lots of small bits and pieces that the refs would want to let go to keep the game going. No wonder they're the least penalized team in the NHL.

LA won 2 cups using that method, not surprised other teams are starting it too. Would love the refs to start calling the small stuff more

 

[Dave is a killer]

Good call in Calgary
