Is this a legal shootout goal?

[Kyndig]

Just get rid of the rule. If you HAVE to have something in place then do a shot clock, it removes all grey area.

 

[Neuf]

How can you maintain "kept in motion towards goal" while stick handling? There's usually a bit of North South movement.

He goes right up to the crease and both he and the puck pull back. Looks illegal to me.

 

[Levitate]

I’d guess they consider that last move of the puck away from the net a part of the shot, he pulls the puck back to shoot. In addition he basically keeps moving in on direction throughout the attempt

that said that’s what you get when you create these situations and special rules blah blah. I also think the NHL doesn’t like to take goals away when they were called on the ice

 

[oilexport]

Nice goal.

 

[Super Cake]

For what its worth, Marchasseult did almost the same thing on a penalty shot. So if this counted, i don't see why that shouldn't count:

They've got to fix this in shootouts.

That shouldn’t count either. This is the specific type of play the rule was written to prevent.

I don't like it, same as I feel that Patrick Kane snail's pace attempts are against the spirit of the shootout. If the effect is to simulate a breakaway, why not have a defender who starts at the far blue line to give chase? Do that, and you stop seeing indulgent nonsense like this.

 

[Nickmo82]

He clearly pulled that puck back on the glove side.

Lousy call, but it's in NY. Go figure.

Rangers in road whites says otherwise.

 

[Turin]

I don’t know how you blow a shoutout call. It’s an isolated event.

 

[haveandare]

Obviously they don't go by the rule exactly as written because so many dekes pull the puck backward or side to side. So, the other option is to go with an interpretation of the rule based in precedent and they seem to be pretty lax about this in past attempts. They seem to just not want people blatantly skating backward.

 

[LeafsNation75]

If the NHL did get rid of the shootout something like what Panarin did would no longer be a problem.

 

[kingsholygrail]

I'd like to see an overhead angle, but I guess there isn't one. It definitely looks like he stops and I don't think it should count at that point.

 

[LarKing]

Moving backward is illegal but they don’t ever call it that way AFAIK.

They should do it like soccer and have them just blast one-timers from like the hash marks.

 

[The S5]

Immediately felt like it was going to be called back.
Didn't necessarily change the outcome.
FWIW, I felt the interference call against Zibanejad was worse than the refs allowing Panarin's shootout goal.

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

Seems like he pulls the puck backwards a little too much. It's a grey rule anyway. Just stick handling or dangling inherently involves pulling the puck backwards a little. What's the cutoff between that and not keeping the puck in motion towards the opponent's goal line? Meh, nice goal either way.

 

[Warden of the North]

Those moves by Panarin reminded me of this shootout goal Mitch Marner had against Ottawa, which they thought should not count and after a review it still did.

I chuckled when Simpson went immediately to "no goal"

 

[JoVel]

I don't see how that's a goal.

 

[AIexisLafreniereNYR]

Horrible call lmao they allowed that

 

[SupremeNachos]

I don't think the Wild would have won in the SO regardless, but holy smokes don't know how you can let that go.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

He clearly pulled that puck back on the glove side.

Lousy call, but it's in NY. Go figure.

 

[Seiza]

Not in the NHL, but I saw old NJ prospect Mattias Tedenby score this goal and thought it shouldn't have been allowed. Not sure if rules are different in the NLA.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

It's not technically legal but there should be certain exceptions to this when it involves dangling.

I'm OK with this goal.

There should not be. The goalie has little chance.

That is not good either.
