Roman Josi with insane, illegal glove save on Johnston

[Breakfast of Champs]

Definitely a missed call but that was so unreal that I’m not even mad.

I get you, but I hate this "allow rule breaking for the sake of entertainment" mindset.

 

[Rodgerwilco]

It’s pretty obvious that he threw it in slow motion when you can watch it a handful of times in a row and then make a call.

I feel like it probably didn’t look as egregious in real-time

 

[Stony Curtis]

What's the big deal? The book on Josi is to go high glove side. He just got lucky on that one.

Great save, and somehow avoided giving up a penalty shot despite catching and throwing the puck.

Should probably require the Senators to give up a first round pick.

 

[Moose Head]

Everything was fine until your last sentence. The penalty was that he threw it. If he just drops it at his feet and then plays with his stick or feet it’s a legal play.

You can’t close your hand on the puck in the crease. Catching it and holding it would meet that bar methinks.

Generally it’s fine as long as the player isn’t covering an egregious amount of ground, or doing NBA-style moves to keep the puck away from an opponent. If he just catches it and drops it in a more-or-less continuous motion, it’s not called a penalty even if he closed his hand on the puck in the process.

In this case, he’s fine as long as he drops it straight down. Instead he threw it, which is a no-no.

Read the rule dude. Catch and drop is explicitly permitted.

 

[Score08]

Bruins did that other night, It was correctly called a penalty shot .

Great save. Awful refs.

I know everyone complains about officiating but the NHL refs have been going downhill for a long time now, and this season seems to have taken a significant jump down right into the crapper.

Also, would Josi be interested in playing goal for the Wings?

Shit happens fast, hooking and holds can often be 50/50 plays, but this play is so blatantly obvious what is going on that if you can't make the proper call here, you can't be trusted to do the job properly.

Totally agree. To be clear I wasn't referring to calls that may be a missed hook at high speed. I'm talking about stuff like this that is blatantly obvious and the refs are looking right at it and somehow don't make the call.

I feel like I've seen more of that this season than any I can remember and we're not even halfway through.

 

[Coffey]

Well at least he lost, so no skin off Stars fans backs.

 

[WATTAGE4451]

Weird that the official Nashville account is posting a clearly illegal play as a great highlight but it was a nice save by Josi

The save isnt illegal, the closing hand on puck is but still a good save

 

[WATTAGE4451]

Where, show me the clip or frames of it? You cant see that from the Op clip, maybe you seen another clip that actually shows it bc OP does't. I'm not saying he didn't, I'm saying that clip doesn't show it.

You see him catch the puck, you see his hand closing as it goes upwards and around, you then see the puck exit from his glove. How is it not evident? The puck disappears into his glove as his glove clearly closes then it emerges from his glove a second later.

Again maybe another angle shows that, but that doesn't show that. It shows him from behind swatting the puck out of the air absolutely, but doesn't show any hand closed on the puck.

If you believe it does show the frame where it shows it, otherwise its just personal speculation.

Again maybe another angle shows it or during the game live it showed it clear from the other side but this OP clip doesn't show that, just people assuming he did.

Swatting the puck out of the air? Did you not see the puck disappear for a whole second while it was in his glove then remerge. He didnt swat it, down, he clearly caught then threw. Look how long puck was out of sight.

 

[Golden_Jet]

Well at least the stars won in the last 15 seconds

Keep reading my posts on it haha

I did but i just dont see how it wasnt obvious from the initial replay.

Unless you thought the puck just was stuck on the outside of the glove like glue it was apparent from initial replay puck didnt just get swatted down and there was a good second between it hitting his glove then getting awkwardly flung back out that direction making it obvious it was in his glove and you see his glove closing in the follow through of the save To in initial replay. You dont directly see the puck in his glove but the fact the puck disappears into his glove to only emerge second later when he throws hia glove bacl should be enough evidence.

Already stated it very clearly and no one could prove me wrong from the OP clip, as I stated multi times I said he might of closed his hand on it but the OP clip doesn't show that, people were just assuming.......clips after showed it clearly and i stated that also. Moot subject now
