This was actually more of an example of NHL rules making no sense. If the puck had went into the net it's a high stick and the goal gets waived off, but because it didn't it's no high stick. Why should there be two different high stick standards because if you go to a single standard things like this wouldn't happen. In reality the call didn't change the outcome because a goal was definitely coming, if it had been waived off it just delays the inevitable.

Because high sticks stopping play happen anywhere on the ice, and you can't use the crossbar for reference. Closer to the net where deflection plays happen, the crossbar is a better reference since it's a fixed point and you're trying to protect the head of an often crouching goalie.

Was going to give a long winded explanation but this is more succinct and gets to the point better than mine would’ve. So yeah, this.

I have a theory that I'm pretty sure is wrong, but I'm gonna float it anyway.

We all know that if a player plays the puck with a stick above the shoulders *and his team plays the puck next* the play gets blown dead. It's not an automatic whistle. I thought for a second that maybe an Islander touched the puck, nullifying the high stick, but that didn't happen.

But ... the puck did hit the bar.

Is there *any* chance that it *was* a high stick, but the puck hitting the bar nullified a whistle?

Additionally, watch the initial live angle again, and look at where the ref who waves off the high stick is standing.

One of the rare cases where the angle the ref had live is truly better than anything replay could give, due to not having any “shoulder level” angles.

Canes win because of Svech's beefcake shoulders. Broad enough to carry the whole team.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

That's as close of a frame as I could get. The other angle shows the puck making contact with Svech's stick below the tape. You can't overturn that.

What is shoulder level though? If your laying on your back and knock the puck out of the air with your stick is that a high stick?

So finally I get back from just after the Islanders scoring (My last post) so I missed us winning in OT.

Good work. Looks like it’s a good goal to me.

 

[FreshSeabass]

That goal should get Troch going. Hope he tears it up tomorrow in his hometown.

Those goals go by whatever is called on the ice because the replays are almost impossible to use. Looked like a high stick to me but I don’t care, it’s gone against us too.

Classic moment with Barzal being the goat after diving like that a minute before.

We didn’t deserve two clean points after that third period, we got outplayed but we found a way to win. Moving on.

Great game by Williams. If you want him to score consistently you can’t put him with Staal, but that line has played well the last couple of games.

 

[VAcaniac]

Right or wrong, the hockey gods owed us that bounce.

How many bullshit bounces have we had to endure this year?

Necas dissapeared. Sad considering he was dark horse for Calder.

 

[A Star is Burns]

Nice win. Absolutely loved keep away in OT. Don't know that I've ever fist pumped a penalty like the late high stick. I don't think Barzal dove, but he went down easy, so I would have just preferred no call on either side.

It still wasn't the prettiest game, but more effort and attention to detail like that, with solid goaltending, we can win enough games down the stretch to keep it interesting.

 

[Tryamw]

HE DID SOMETHING!

We need a police report I don't believe it.

I’d rather he be invisible than the current version of terrible and detrimental

 

[RodTheBawd]

First I've seen the entire team engaged physically like that this season. Not sure if it was NYI bringing it out or they're just finally waking up. Watching Aho consistently mix it up after the whistle gives me a little hope.

 

[Negan4Coach]

Well that was nerve wracking and not fun to watch. Glad to have a win- but before Barzal crapped in his own pants we were headed for annihilation.

'Sup, bros. 'Sup. How we doin'? Good? Cool
