GDT: New York Rangers @ Washington Capitals 12:00 p.m.

[Dibbs31]

That angle looks clear

 

[Cappy76]

Wow the amount of gymnastics the announce crew is doing trying to say it should be a good goal is painful to listen to

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

I hate the challenge, get on with this crap and let the goal stand or not, just don’t want to waste my time looking at a guy’s skate for 10 minutes.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

HAHAHAHAHA

FU ESPN

 

[McVechkin]

Looks offside. But I’m with ESPN announcers. It’s a too close to overturn. Play on the ice needs to stand in these situations ha.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Noice….

 

[Brian23]

What a trash rule.

Its the right call but it's such a trash can of a rule and process.

 

[Empty Goal Net]

Bonuses for the video staff.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

He fumbled the puck

 

[crab]

Carbsssss

 

[Dr John Carlson]

It's terrible that goals get called off for that shit.

That said, LOL.

 

[Neil Racki]

They must have a better angle than that, right? Because that's totally inconclusive.

Direct evidence of a deer in a snowy field - you see a deer in a snowy field

Circumstantial evidence of a deer in a snowy field - you see fresh deer prints in a snowy field

^^ the example Maryland gives for direct vs circumstantial evidence

Don’t know why I’m positing that … kinda interesting I guess

 

[stephenball]

Yeah, we all know that the rule should be changed, it sucks that it’s a rule and it shouldn’t be, but while it is you should absolutely use it to your advantage.

 

[Calicaps]

There has to be a better way. Good lord.

 

[twabby]

Bonuses for the video staff.

Game puck is definitely trending toward the video staff right now. Let's see how the rest of the game plays out!

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

I dont care they taken so many goals away from us this season.

 

[notDkristich]

i'm still behind, but seriously wtf is carlson doing on the 2nd GA. all on him blowing the zone for no reason

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

Is ESPN actively rooting for the Rangers? This is bizarre.

 

[stephenball]

I dont care they taken so many goals away from us this season.

Yeah, the offsides review rules are bad, but considering another rule is if a player breathes near a goalie while Carlson is on the ice it’s no goal, I’ll take it

 

[McVechkin]

Make it simple.. You got 30 seconds after the goal to initiate the challenge and then the league office has 60 seconds to conclusively overturn it. If they can’t overturn in 60 seconds, it’s too close and the play stays.

That said, credit carbs and video team for taking advantage of the way the rules work.

 

[Blades Ov Steel]

meh, i'll take it but whatever. def a make up call there on raddy.

 

[stephenball]

Is ESPN actively rooting for the Rangers? This is bizarre.

Definitely a “home” broadcast for the Rangers. But it’s to be expected, they’re a large market team that is a “storied” franchise, even if that story is “we haven’t won many Cups”.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Think is would rather listen to MSG over ESPN

 

[Neil Racki]

Dumb decision by Tom to try and center that low percentage pass on tbe PK

 

[McVechkin]

Ovie….
