Straight from the NHL rulebook: Plays that involve a puck entering the net as a direct result of a “distinct kicking motion” shall be ruled NO GOAL.I thought it would count hitting the goalies stick before going in. Right?
Thank youStraight from the NHL rulebook: Plays that involve a puck entering the net as a direct result of a “distinct kicking motion” shall be ruled NO GOAL.
A goal cannot be scored by an attacking player who kicks a puck that deflects into the net off any player, goalkeeper or official.
I'd be hard pressed to say it that the goal wasn't scored because of anything other than a distinct kicking motion.
I saw no distinct kicking motion, all he did was turn his leg to try and direct the puck to his stick. This has been called a goal more often then not in the NHL.I get the kick being no goal. It looked like a kick, they called it a kick. No problem.
