GDT: Maple Leafs @ Devils - 7:00 PM - MSG

[Csonked Out]

This reffing crew has no business being in the NHL right now, completely unprepared

 

[Richer's Ghost]

They could give NJ a penalty for fans throwing stuff but I think they know it would result in an even worse result.

 

[OmNomNom]

That's what the rule clearly says. If it deflects off the defender it's not a goal.

ah you right

49.2

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.

 

[sddev]

To me it looked like It hit Haula’s stick after the kick.

 

[Guttersniped]

What are they sorting out? What are they reviewing now? Are they gonna give us the goal back?

They might be deciding on a penalty for the crowd delay

 

[The Marquis]

Bad rules are bad

 

[Devilsgrl35]

He didn't kick it towards the net.

 

[Puckclektr]

I’d rather throw food and drink on the ice than a jersey becuse we’ve been bad for almost 60 years.

 

[Devs3cups]

I don't get how that's not a goal if it deflects on an opposing player. That's BS

 

[Edmonton East]

What are they sorting out? What are they reviewing now? Are they gonna give us the goal back?

guarantee this man child official was seeing if he could call the game or give penalties.

 

[DVision44]

That isn't the rule.

You are correct it had to hit the Leafs stick… not any body part

 

[Emperoreddy]

Then kicking a puck should be illegal everywhere on the ice since it doesn't matter if the puck is going backwards

 

[jkrdevil]

Bastian has to get his stick on that

 

[JK3]

Three goals called off holy shit. He was kicking to back and out to Bastian, not towards the net.

 

[Bleedred]

Well I did say early on that Murray is getting a shutout tonight, even if he gets scored on five times.

There's three times now.

 

[Saugus]

They could give NJ a penalty for fans throwing stuff but I think they know it would result in an even worse result.

If they did that, the refs would require a protective detail after the game.

 

[Blender]

I don't get how that's not a goal if it deflects on an opposing player. That's BS

That's what the rule says, it can't deflect off a defender. Haula needed to get his stick on it, which from this replay it sure seems like he might have.

 

[The Marquis]

The teenage girl behind keefe is having NONE of this shit. Lol

 

[FinnishDevil]

Murray might actually get a shutout like Bleed said.

 

[JrFischer54]

Why they should eliminate the kicking rule. No reason for it

 

[Azathoth]

So what’s the record for goals called off in a game lol

 

[Devs3cups]

Why they should eliminate the kicking rule. No reason for it

It takes skill to kick the puck in lol

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

I'm not gunna bother looking it up but there definitely have been goals where a puck was kicked but it deflected off opposing team so it counted.

Typical inconsistent reffing.

 

[Edmonton East]

So say it's a 2 on 1. Attacking player kicks the puck laterally to his teammate. Defender dives and knocks puck into his own net. That wouldn't be a goal? Seems like it should be kicking motion AT THE NET.

 

[Hisch13r]

If Haula had any finish he would've just scored the first one
