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

It wasn't intent to blow the whistle that stopped the goal, the whistle went 2 seconds before the puck went into the net.

This doesn't address the Goalie Interference, hence people ignoring it.

It wasn't goalie interference, Crosby going for a loose puck in the crease wasn't impairing the Bruins goalie from making the stop. It was Crosby playing a loose puck.

 

[ColbyChaos]

Lucky goal

 

[Fatty McLardy]

Penguins will still probably lose...

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Pasta al dente!

In the end, it's the opposing team's fault if they cannot overcome a situation which ends up as only 1 on the scoreboard. This goal did not decide the game.
And to an extent, neither did Game 6's intent..

These type of comments are complete bullshit and utterly not true. We're talking about a game where professionals are fighting for razor thin margins for advantages. One team getting an illegal advantage is massive even if only for seconds.

Yea but the puck wasn't loose. It was sitting on top of Khudobin's chest.

 

[Empoleon8771]

That's a loose puck though

Anything that isn't a covered puck is a loose puck.

Yeah, because Crosby blatantly slashing Khudobin in the hand/wrist totally doesn't constitute goalie interference.

 

[Fatty McLardy]

Yea but the puck wasn't loose. It was sitting on top of Khudobin's chest.

That's considered a loose puck, bud.

Anyways, like i said, Penguins will still lose!

 

[4thTierSport]

I was talking about when Crosby slashes him in the arm and influences the goalie's movement.

It isn't. These errors happen game to game and throughout the season, they're pretty much even throughout the league. Big market teams get more flack for it, but missed calls and questionable calls happen every. single. game. It's literally pointless to yap at 1 missed call and decide that was the reason your team lost. It's madness.
If there ever is proof of favoring happening toward a team, the officials responsible are canned for a good reason.

You mean when the puck is up in the air? Yea, a puck flying through the air counts as loose and the attacker is allowed to go after it.

[ColbyChaos]

League's explanation basically just contradicted their call on game 6

 

[RiskyBryzness21]

There have been multiple where the whistle sounds with the overhead angle before the puck is in.

Crosby was getting star treatment there. If it was a guy like Rust or Sheahan scoring for them, that easily would get overturned. The whack on Khudobin's hand could been called as an interference as well.

Excepts officiating has been getting worse and worse each year with very little turn over. I would also look at year served because tenure and/or relationships make refs almost untouchable in this league.

Also there is a massive difference between missing a quick high stick or something similar and a goal with multiple reviews.

Also completely ignores Goalie Interference which is what Bruins challenged correct?

Oh okay, you don't know the rule either then. Good to know.

It's a good goal by the rules, and seeing how they reviewed it for GI and called it no goal extremely quickly, I think it's fair to say it wasn't GI either.

Except there are multiple videos from this year alone that would make it clear cut Goalie Interference.

Dear lord… Do you really need it explained that you can't slash, trip, etc when going after a free puck?

 

[Empoleon8771]

Okay, provide them then. Back that claim up.

Seeing how the GI review took like 30 seconds and was clearly called a goal, I'd like to see some other examples of goals like this getting called back.

 

[oobga]

Gotta appreciate how wonderfully redundant the NHL rule book is. There's something in there for the refs to confidently go either direction on every situation.

The intent to blow the whistle was before the puck was off the goalies chest. But, when the whistle was blown the puck was going into the net. Two choices available that a tunnel vision view of the rule book backs up, they picked option B.

The NHL is consistently wrong.


The NHL realizes how terrible it looks and has spent the following period backpedaling as much as possible while desperately defending this brand new precedent.

 

[satbank]

Bruins are barely hanging on. Pens will tie it.

 

[raymond23]

Did anyone see Sheahan get startled by the whistle lol

 

[fighterfoo]

I'm still waiting for the phantom hook/slash that sends the Pens to the PP.
