Show me another example of a player getting denied an obvious point

I'll wait. Marner hit 100 no doubt in my mind. Good season Marns.

Meh, he probably got some along the line he didn’t deserve either.

The Montreal player very clearly kicked that puck deliberately…

Yes I'm the only one that complains. Here is one of your posts from 2 days ago...

"The inability for Bunting to get a call is so far beyond a joke at this point. The entire league should be embarrassed"

So stfu

Show me one, please I dare you.

I think the rule is that the player has to have possession, and the kick doesn't really constitute that

Slight difference between a comment in a GDT as something occurred and starting a new thread about something that occurred 5 or 6 days ago.

But sure, i'll stfu

Good.

Change in possession isn’t needed if the opposition makes a deliberate and meaningful play on the puck.

Don’t see the big deal.

They spoke about it on the broadcast that night .. I haven't bothered to look at the rules on it. The NHL is pretty accurate these days with these sorts of things.

When a player takes a shot on net and it rebounds off the goalie or there's some swatting of the puck but no possession gained by the other team, you often see the assist handed out. It's just so commonplace. This is so NHL.

The NHL is pretty accurate, and a large portion of the media isn’t knowledgeable on the rules.

A rebound of the goalie‘a pad is an assist. A puck poke checked away by the goalie is not an assist. The second example is a deliberate and meaningful play on the puck.

Robbed of hitting 100, very stupid

 

[ZEBROA]

It was not a assist.

 

[Dekes For Days]

Clear assist robbed.

It's unfortunate that some continue to argue against the obvious.

NHL continues to shoot themselves in the foot.

The Montreal player clearly kicked the puck as a quick breakout pass and Matthews intercepted it and scored. I can see why they didn't give the assist, if it had just bounced off the Montreal player inadvertently then I think an assist would have been granted, but as it stands now, that goal occurred because Matthews picked off a kick pass, and not a pass reception from Marner.

Of course, it does, it was deflected by a stick first and then clearly kicked.

I think that you never saw a delayed penalty or playing dumb on purpose.
If this was a delayed penalty - it would be a clear whistle 100% of the time as possession.

It's Mitch's assist so it must be a conspiracy.

 

[WillyC]

It’s the Ballard curse.

 

[griffon1]

Well he had all night last night and he still didn't get it so maybe he's only a 99 point guy. dang.

 

[Racer88]

Who really cares if Marner gets 100 points or 99 points. Do it in the playoffs and his legacy will be cemented

 

[Guided by Veseys]

Ah let’s face it, Mitch simply isn’t the kind of player that is going to break 100 points.

He’s like Datsyuk! Only two points better at producing though.

 

[BraveCanadian]

I find it really hard to complain about Marner missing 100 points for something like this when they sat him this week for no reason. They have 5 days off now to rest if they need it.

Without covid and with a little more luck Marner might be a 3-4 time 100 point guy right now and instead he's a big fat 0.

I'll be ok with it if he wins the Conn Smythe due to that extra game of rest, but somehow I doubt it is going to be a factor.

If 100 points was so important a landmark to reach them perhaps Keefe shouldn't have played Marner for 30 minutes a game earlier, only to then have to give him 2 complete games off of the last 5 to recover from overuse.

Marner also had the last game to record a point against the NYR if he really wanted that milestone, he had complete control of that situation.

Trying to turn back time and alter the results of a historical game seems like the least logical way to change the outcome to find blame for not reaching 100. IMO

Playoffs start now, and real games begin and ALL players totals all get reset to Zero. Marner doesn't have 99 points today anymore he now has 0-0-0 points just like all players on teams that qualified for the playoffs.

Lets focus on the future not dwell on the past.

Marner never played 30 minutes this season, and him getting games to rest before the playoffs like everybody else had nothing to do with his ice time weeks ago.
100 points or 99 points isn't that important. It just sucks that Marner was robbed of an obvious point to steal that milestone from him.
