For the record I don't think that should be GI....But the NHL has set a precedence for calling lesser plays as GI the last couple years.

I don`t need to, you made a post saying it was only Leafs fans that thought it was goalie interference. I only need to find 1 to prove you wrong. I found 2.

Every fanbase has fans that don't know the rules.

 

[TheLeastOfTheBunch]

Could go either way on the goalie interference, I think they would've called it a 'no goal' if they reviewed it upstairs, thank God (Matthews) we still came away with the 2 points.

Need to ship JVR out for some defensive help

 

[Hockeyfan2390]

I'm not absolving the Leafs of blowing that lead.. Like, wow.

But I'm fully convinced the NHL flips a coin to decide goalie interference. Kadri grazed Luongo earlier in the week to have a goal pulled back. Using that as a precedent, how can that late Detroit goal count?

Makes the score about 30-1 now on goalie interference calls involving Detroit. Finally got one to go the right way.

Keep digging.

 

[Del Preston]

Stupid NHL.com said the game was over at 4-3 so I missed overtime. Their website is completely unreliable.

The pettiness meter just pegged the needle. You're the top detective on the force! Take the rest of the night off!

I watched the game. Kadri skates came into contact with Luongo's glove preventing him from making the same. That was a clear GI call. This one was much more debatable but I would have given that a goal.

 

[Pavels Dog]

He was brutal on the Marner goal.

Matthews was brutal on the Mantha goal. Rookie forwards making defensive mistakes? I've never been more shocked.

 

[Pyromaniac3]

NHL refs will never call anything that late in the game. I bet it's a no goal if same play happened in the middle of the game.

True, its why we give up leads.
The Leafs are a great 50-55 minute hockey team.

 

[SladeWilson23]

Was the attacking player in the crease unnecessarily?
Did the attacking player on his own prevent the goalie from making the save?

If the answer to BOTH questions is "no", then it is not GI. In order for it to be GI, only one of the questions has to be answered as "yes".

 

[X66]

Bahahahaha, what a choke.

Lol.

I thought it was his blocker. Maybe you didn't watch close enough.

 

[Dotter]

Fun game to watch. I was surprised Blashill started the 3rd string goalie, but I think he did win last game. So Mrazek gets his cheese next game.

I am really excited about that Mantha kid, he is so much fun to watch. Mantha had 3 point night and has 9 points his last 6 games (I think). Kid is a freaking stud. He was the best player on the ice tonight.

Can anyone confirm 9 points in 6 games?

 

[Shrimper]

Lol.

They still choked their lead, so that point still stands.

 

[Pyromaniac]

You are indeed correct, now that I recall it was his blocker. To me that was an obvious call.

Confirmed, 9 points in 6 games, also a point streak.

I don't think anyone has a problem with that. It's just the inconsistency of the calls that irk people, especially when they happen to go against you.

People should wait until the game is over before they blow their load.

Also, this:

I doubt people will talk about the 4-1 blown lead when this game gets talked about in the future, but ok.

 

[Tofveve]

This is the best pregame with Tara, Ron and Don that I've ever seen. Seeing the military up close and her shooting the equipment was cool.

 

[Deadly Dogma]

Good result for the fans.

I think we might be seeing you guys in the 1st round

In a perfect world you guys pass the Habs so we can see a Leafs-Habs play off round (if the Leafs can catch the B's)

It's not even a game worth talking about in the future. It was like watching two handicap people fighting over a parking spot.
