Scott Wedgewood injured in pain on the ice. Refs don't blow the whistle. Buffalo scores

Either way it's not in the spirit of the game to score an empty net goal while the goalie is injured

The spirit of the game is to out score your opponent, it’s well within the opposing teams rights to do so.

Hope Wedgewood recovers soon. He should be able to chop the guy who threw Benson onto him with a two hander when next he's able.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Refs have the discretion to allow the play to unfold, Avs have the discretion to challenge the play.

Did they?

So he “may” stop it. He may not. Based on what? Does the explanation continue?

 

[BoxOfChocolates]

Hopefully somebody cleans Benson's clock

 

[dirtydanglez]

injured goalies should be treated different since the opposing team is going to shoot pucks at them. the only issue would be if it lead to goalies flopping.

 

[Nogatco Rd]

Does the avs announcer think he’s narrating a WWE match? Dude’s whole inflection is way over the top

No they shouldn’t

Did they?

They did, and after a very short review the ref had a rather sassy “no goaltender interference” ruling.

Hope Wedgewood is ok, but that looked unfortunate. Maybe just a sprain?

Woulda understood if the refs blew it, but they didn’t, the f*** do you want Benny to do?

Yeah I could see that if the puck made it up top for a point shot, wouldn’t be surprised if they blew it dead in that case. I’m sure there’s some amount of discretion involved

 

[dirtydanglez]

No they shouldn’t

yea they should. you shouldnt be shooting the puck at an injured player.

 

[TheNumber4]

Lol these Avs announcers are such homer clowns.

"I've never seen anything like it" they say above.

How bout this time when you they said "you can't just immediately blow the whistle cause the guys says I'm hurt"



(assuming these are the same guys)

 

[BlueOil]

happens, can't blame fans for not liking it, but until you get possession, it don't matter

 

[Beerz]

In my opinion Benson cuts hard towards Kelly and falls into the goalie, Kelly does not push Benson in.

I get why the ref let the play continue, but in a situation like that I feel the ref should blow the whistle.

He was slewfooted into the goalie

 

[Spawn]

It really isn't:

Unless your interpretation of "serious injury" is a player literally dying on the ice, that's a f***ing green light for pests running into goalies. Just throw yourself into a goalie after a crosscheck, it won't be whistled down.

And no, I'm not blaming the Buffalo player on this one, it was obviously just on Kelly of the Avs.

The pests of the hockey world already do that.

 

[MOGlLNY]

Hopefully somebody cleans Benson's clock

Because he got thrown into Colorado’s goalie outside the crease?

You know the guy who said that in that clip is literally dead right you clown? Real classy there. Past away after battling cancer.

 

[Three On Zero]

yea they should. you shouldnt be shooting the puck at an injured player.

Player goes down in front of the net, do you now stop play and not shoot in his direction ?

Player goes down in the middle of the ice, do you now not do a cross ice pass because he’s down?

A hockey player is a hockey player, treat them the same.

Are you f***ing kidding me? He slew foots him directly onto his goalie. Uncalled, btw.

No I did not know that. Sorry for his loss. But the main announcer dude is the same guy right? So why's he acting all surprised like this is some unheard of situation?

He’s pathetic.

The play by play guy is the same. But the analyst in that clip is Peter McNabb and was replaced by Mark Rycroft

that can be left at a refs discretion. goalie is a bit different since he's directly where the shot is going.

A lot of net around a goalie on the ice. Goalie isn’t any different

 

[Perratrooper]

He was slewfooted into the goalie

From this angle it looks like Benson cuts hard before making contact with Kelly
