By far

 

[Tommy Shelby]

Besides Kick Bonino's BS awarded goal it was really great. Clenched buttocks all around.

 

[Scott Stevens]

Yes it was just like a month ago when the no name school beat the good team in college basketball

People love seeing excellence toppled, the more shocking the better

The Hamburgler will be the story of the playoffs, when he leads his team to the Cup.

But MacKinnon didn't get toppled.

How about that patience with the puck to not shoot that when down a goal and point blank? DAMN DANIEL!

I preferred the first period of game 5 in WPG-MIN but that might just be me

 

[Makar Goes Fast]

this series is the best one. every single game has been exciting.

 

[Scotty Pucks]

P3 of Penguins-Flyers last night was pretty awesome to me. Penguins with a lot of good chances, Neuvy on point, Couts returns to the lineup and pots one with just under 2 min to go.

But obviously I’m biased.

Interesting to follow the discussions between people how have watched every single minute of every playoff-game so far.

It was a good goal, there was absolutely no reason to not count it. You can re-direct the puck with the blade of your skate by changing the angle of it, he did nothing wrong.

 

[Babooch]

I thought it was great but PK Subban says nope

If this is a good goal, I wonder why there is some rule that wouldn’t allow the goal whether it’s kicked in or not. It was really confusing IMO he didn’t kicked the puck but clearly intentionally put his skate in angle to score, isn’t that some sort of kicking?

Wow. No. Payers use their skates to redirect the puck all the time, and if it goes into the net as a result of that, it's a good goal. Only forward motion happening was his momentum. Does his skate blade EVER leave the ice surface? What kind of kicking do you do?

 

[DickSmehlik]

PK Subban disagrees with the OP.

Agreed. The premise of this thread is wrong on so any levels
In all seriousness it was incredibly intense and good entertainment. Wasn't disappointed in the outcome either.

Actually, he does lift his skate off the ice. He also swings his foot forward with his skate off the ice. It was a kicking motion, and the NHL should be ashamed Of themselves for allowing it. The worst call since Brett Hull.

100%. Incorrect.

Even my girlfriend who doesn't know **** about hockey was surprised when Barberio got interfered without having the puck she said "Wow that's a penalty ?" I was like : "Nope it's in Nashville. I've seen some worse than this interference" and then she said "They should let refs that comes from Africa that doesn't know hockey it would be better" After that this goal happened she couldn't believe it since I told her that there is no way the goal is allowed since the guy clearly kick the puck or does place his skate in an angle to score. Reversed

100%. Incorrect.

Definitely not 100 percent incorrect. It is not clear cut to decide either way. To me it looks like he misses the puck with his stick and then not to lose it, tries to control it with his leg. He moves his leg in the process in sort of "kicking" way, but its not the kind of kick like when in soccer you hit the ball directly straight up with your shin, its more akin to situation, when you try to one-time / deflect moving ball (someone else passed to you) into the net with the side of your foot. You can clearly see Bonino to "rotate" his ankle right before the puck hits his skate, that is no doubt deliberate move on his part.

I dont think however, that he really intended to do deflect it into the net, his intention was more likely just to stop the puck, then shoot it with his stick after that, things just happened too fast and puck went straight into net. Now the question is, do the referees judge intent or not?

 

[BrendanGallagher11]

Here for subban

 

[Hal 9000]

They should judge on what happened. It' pretty clear that his leg swings forward and into the oncoming puck. Its clear that Boninos right leg is way farther out front than his left leg without actually taking a stride. It's also clear that for this to happen, bonino has to lift his right skate off the ice. Add these things up and it is a kicking motion resulting in a goal.
Colorado was down 3-1 in series and in a 0-0 game at the time. The problem with the call is that at very best it was a 50/50 play (if I'm generous) and the NHL was willing to kill Colorado's season over the call.
