The refs will never apply that standard in any other game this season.

Bad whistle? Yes. And totally completely moot.

 

[ColbyChaos]

If intent to blow was all it took to deny a goal in game 6 of the finals it should have been enough here

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Yup, the NHL sure caters to him by allowing other players to crosscheck him in the head.

See evidence, this "goal". Fairly apparent.

I am still pretty stunned. That isn't a debatable issue in terms of the quick whistle cancelling out a goal and we have seen it lots over the years.

Except when it works in favor of your team, right? That’s usually how it works here at HF.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

A good goal was counted as a goal. That's better than a good goal not counting because the ref is makes a mistake.

The rules cannot be changed because it is Crosby.

Whistle ends the play. There is zero review. These refs should receive a hefty fine and no playoff assignments if they can't get such easy concepts straight.

See evidence of last year’s playoffs, specifically against Washington and Ottawa.

 

[GarbageGoal]

Game 1 in last year's Finals should have sealed the question as to why this stuff happens involving the "Stanley Cup Champions".

Crosby does his share of nasty, cowardly plays.

Even at the end of the period he acts fake tough.

 

[Ivo]

Ignoring the whistle question, are you allowed to whack a goalie in the chest with a stick repeatedly to score a goal? Serious question.

 

[SladeWilson23]

Are players allowed to whack the puck off a goalie's chest like that?

 

[Syrinx]

Quick or not, the whistle kills the play. Not even reviewable.

The puck was in before the whistle.

 

[Dbrownss]

Im not watching anymore but did they even say "intent to blow the whistle"? Looked to me like they reviewed if the puck crossed the line before the whistle went and since they called it a goal, Id assume one of the cameras backed that up.

You mean game 6? The game 1 goal call was completely correct, it was offsides.

Yeah, people are getting mad because they're assuming the refs blew the whistles before the puck went in. At this point, I'm thinking there was an angle that at least showed the puck was in before the whistle blew. People are then just running with that to push their conspiracy theories.

 

[Rasmus CacOlainen]

I honestly think the whistle came after the puck crossed the line. Until someone makes a slow mo video proving otherwise I'd go with they made the right call. Seems like there's a lot of salty people in this thread.

lol.

Only with a spearing motion.

 

[ColbyChaos]

See evidence of him nut shotting people and slicing a guy's finger off without even a call from the league...

 

[Syrinx]

If Keith Jones says it's a good goal for the Pens, then it is a good goal. He hates the Pens.

 

[Fatty McLardy]

Amazing leadership by Crosby though, i gotta say. Willed his team back in the game.

 

[BruinsFan1990]

The puck was in before the whistle.

Show me the camera angle you are watching.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

The puck was in before the whistle.

Yet another replay by NBC shows this is false.

 

[Shockmaster]

Crosby does his share of nasty, cowardly plays.

Okay, but it’s been beyond evident for the last several years the NHL does not cater to him.

Technically game 6 given that one had the intent to blow but such a joke with the lack of any form of consistency

 

[WJCJ]

I think it's extremely difficult to tell whether that puck went in before or after the whistle, because the puck was already moving towards the net when the whistle blew. I think saying it was inconclusive and just going with the call on the ice would be the right call.

Everyone better get your tinfoil hats, though! All just a conspiracy. It's funny that people are crying conspiracy when we're talking about a game where the Bruins are playing in, though.

You are right, they should have gone with the call on the ice and that was a whistle that blew the play dead. That's the thing. He blew the whistle and that means the play is dead right or wrong call it doesn't matter, the play is supposed to be dead.
