Scott Wedgewood Injured in Pain on the Ice Refs Dont Blow the Whistle Buffalo Scores

Nice goal by Benson

 

[Linds]

Correct call - thanks for the thread tho.

Maybe we should rename it to O’Connor crosschecking Benson in the neck off the draw

Nah, how about Buffalo does it again

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

That goal counts but the Meier goal from yesterday got overturned. This league is straight dogshit beyond belief.

Best sport but the league is ran by morons up and down. Also karma by the Avs coming back

Nice goal by Benson

What kind of weirdo thinks scoring a goal on an injured goalie is nice? Legal sure? But nice? That's messed up. The nice goal was the OT winner by Toews.

Meh, in the name of the rule they technically got it right... It even says in the rulebook that the official "may" stop play. So its basically referees discretion.



Honestly where I take issue with the entire thing is.... Kelly doesn't hit Benson into Wedgewood at all. Benson is the guy who last minute makes a sharp turn to spin around Kelly and basically knocks himself into Wedgewood off of Kelly.

I really think had they taken a longer look at the play when Bednar challenged it, they would have called it back. But they looked at it for literally 10 seconds and went with what they saw on the ice.




Yeah, exactly... Kelly doesn't actually hit Benson. Benson turns around into Kelly and then falls into the net essentially.


Extremely weird play.

Kelly lifts his knee up under Bensons thigh and tips Benson into the Goalie.

It is 100% on Kelly

How many NHL goals have you scored?

Right on. Kelly followed him closely and did not shove him.

What does the number of NHL goals I've personally scored have to do with the fact that you think scoring on an injured goalie is a nice goal?

 

[JianYang]

Tough call if you're an avs fan but I understand the call from the refs pov

 

[John Mandalorian]

Nice goal by Toews.

Agreed.

 

[ToDavid]

So what I'm gathering, if you're in the offensive zone, knock a defending player into their own goalie so he's injured and score on a wide open net.

No because goalie interference still exists…

It’s so stupid. All NHL needs to do is make a rule where if any player is seriously injured, you blow the whistle no matter what. Just one of the few things that the NHL can’t get it right

We should blow the whistle when a player breaks his skate blade too

I don’t know about that, but definitely should be a whistle if a player is seriously injured. It’s for their safety

How do you determine what is serious or not? How do you prevent divers and fakers?

 

[Shonky]

Kadri at fault

Ask the league, it's already a rule. Discretion of the refs.

Aren't we right back where we started then?

 

[GirardSpinorama]

These refs are morons, but lit a fire under the team. Character win here. Benson is a little twerp, why ever draft a midget winger without plus skills.

Right.. if they're hit in face/head ..or cut by skate... those are serious injuries where players life may be in danger ...

Refs who don't show good discretion shouldn't be refs.

Well then this isn't up to their discretion you just want them to make the calls you want them to make innit.
