GDT: Leafs @ Caps - 7:30 - SN

[Blanka]

I have to give it to Marner. He's playing his ass off.

 

[Stephen]

they said his leg propelled into the net lmao!

Some wordsmiths there, using big words and concepts like propel to describe what would otherwise be called a "good goal".

 

[All Mod Cons]

Max Domi is not my favourite player.

It's really hard to pick one honestly.

Stolarz?

 

[PROUD PAPA]

The d need to get pinching

 

[Cleetus]

come on guys time to cycle

 

[CelticDruid]

Johnson with the tip in!

Be careful how you may compliment him

Down by 2 and we've got nothing going. May as well take some risks.

37.4 Distinct Kicking Motion
Plays that involve a puck entering the net as a direct result of a “distinct kicking motion” shall be ruled NO GOAL.

A “distinct kicking motion,” for purposes of Video Review, is one where the video makes clear that an attacking Player has deliberately propelled the puck with a kick of his foot or skate and the puck subsequently enters the net. A goal cannot be scored on a play where an attacking Player propels the puck with his skate into the net (even by means of a subsequent deflection off of another Player) using a “distinct kicking motion.”

A goal also cannot be scored on a play where an attacking Player kicks any equipment (stick, glove, helmet, etc.) at the puck, including kicking the blade of his own stick, causing the puck to cross the goal line.

A puck that deflects into the net off an attacking Player’s skate who does not use a “distinct kicking motion” shall be ruled a GOAL. A puck that is directed into the net by an attacking Players’ skate shall also be ruled a GOAL, as long as no “distinct kicking motion” is evident. (See also Rule 49.2)

49.1 Kicking
The action of a player deliberately using his skate(s) with a kicking motion to propel the puck or to contact an opponent.

49.2 Goals
Kicking the puck shall be permitted in all zones. A goal cannot be scored by an attacking player who uses a distinct kicking motion to propel the puck into the net with his skate/foot. A goal cannot be scored by an attacking player who kicks a puck that deflects into the net off any player, goalkeeper or official.

A puck that deflects into the net off an attacking player’s skate who does not use a distinct kicking motion is a legitimate goal. A puck that is directed into the net by an attacking player’s skate shall be a legitimate goal as long as no distinct kicking motion is evident.

The following should clarify deflections following a kicked puck that enters the goal:

(i) A kicked puck that deflects off the body of any player of either team (including the goalkeeper) shall be ruled no goal.
(ii) A kicked puck that deflects off the stick of any player (excluding the goalkeeper’s stick) shall be ruled a good goal.
(iii) A goal will be allowed when an attacking player kicks the puck and the puck deflects off his own stick and then into the net.
(iv) A goal will be allowed when a puck enters the goal after deflecting off an attacking player’s skate or deflects off his skate while he is in the process of stopping.

A goal cannot be scored by an attacking player who kicks any equipment (stick, glove, helmet, etc.) at the puck, including kicking the blade of his own stick, causing the puck to cross the goal line. Refer also to Rule 78.5 – Disallowed Goals.

My Interpretation

Even if there was some direction with his leg, which is questionable, it wasn't with the skate/foot, so I don't see how it's disallowed. I see nothing about hitting off the shin or thigh or leg area, all of this relates to skate/foot, which was clearly not in play.

 

[Stephen]

What's up with Marner line's propensity for these lob passes to nowhere tonight? Your guy isn't skating hard, why are you even trying to create a 1 on 1 battle?

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Just take all the guess work out of it and allow them to kick the puck in

Agreed. Skates flying everywhere I say.

 

[glue]

Lol this team is ....... mediocre?

Even that is debatable given 6 of their victories have been against Detroit and Montreal.

 

[Brown Dog]

"Propelled in by the leg?!?!" Wut? That's not the rule!

 

[BrannigansLaw]

this shit is borderline unwatchable.

Absolute tedium.

 

[fahad203]

I was told Robertsson could score 30 goals this year given opportunities

 

[Obo]

It's really hard to pick one honestly.

Stolarz?

Knies

https://media.nhl.com/site/asset/public/ext/2024-25/2024-25Rules.pdf

The right section is 78.5 but yeah this call was right if you think that was intentional.

78.5 Disallowed Goals – 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. When this occurs, if it is
deemed to be done deliberately, then the decision shall be NO
GOAL. A goal cannot be scored when the puck has been deliberately
batted with any part of the attacking player’s body into the net.

 

[Cleetus]

Goalie pretending to be hurt lol, joke!

 

[Stephen]

I'm glad OEL stuck it to Thompson on that rebound.

 

[Blanka]

Thompson. Don't be such a Twink.

 

[All Mod Cons]

I have to give it to Marner. He's playing his ass off.

Always does. Never takes a day off. Only player we can rely on. That guy better get a pay raise.

That's as much physicality and nastiness as we're going to get. Miss the days when even when we were losing there were fights and rough stuff.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

These guys get hit with pucks going 100 mph and aren't fazed. A little tap of a stick and out comes the Oscar nomination.

 

[McSnypsky]

Like Kerfoot played his ass off?
