Flames put one in their own net

[Skip2myBordyloo]

The Flames last man back didn't seem very concerned about the puck

No way he would have caught it.

 

[Regal]

If that pass back to the point actually went to the D and he shot and scored would the refs have reviewed it to see if they should have blown the play down from weber touching it ?? no they wouldn't, there is no way that should have been reviewable. Hard to argue with the tinfoil hats when crap like this goes on. never seen that reviewed in my life.

Friedman said that the league told the refs that no, they couldn't review that play, so in the end it was the same as in your scenario, they just took awhile to determine that.

It seems the tank has begun

Calgary Flame-out! Teams need to be more careful when there is a delayed call and mind that blue line. A few years ago, Patrice Bergeron barely saved a goal in that same situation.

The question is why would the on ice ref even think it might be reviewable. .that play has never been reviewed.

Sums up the amount of luck the Flames are having lately.

 

[SladeWilson23]

The Devils did that once against Ottawa and I think Damian Rhodes got credit for the goal.

There's 4 plays like this Devils have been involved with. Brodeur scored 2 goals in this manner.

 

[Skobel24]

Sucks to see it happen, but man was it hilarious.

Why do Flames fans ALWAYS have to mention the Oilers in every context? They live in your heads so much they should be playing you rent, but why?

Because they're historically bad and impossible to ignore. The entire league talks about the Oilers for that very reason.

 

[ottawa]

Looked to me like the Calgary defenceman could've stopped the puck from going in if he went all out for it but just kind of :Effort:'d it.

Didn't even try.

Yah, no way he was getting to that puck

 

[Gnashville]

I was at a game when Phoenix did this with Gretzky as coach. Predators' goalie Chris Mason was credited with the Goal. Gretzky argued for a long time the goal shouldn't count because Mason had just made a blocker save 10 seconds before.

Yeah that's why, good catch.

 

[Snakepit]

Yeah that's why, good catch.

... No that's pretty much why. Just look at all the Oiler threads on the main board this last month

 

[Sunny Leone*]

Never seen anything like that before live.

you must be young. how long have you been watching hockey for?

 

[Hemi-Cuda]

Yeah that's why, good catch.

It's exactly why, the Oilers are unprecedentedly bad. And it sucks knowing no matter how bad the Flames are, they can never get a top draft spot because the Oilers are just so much worse

 

[Yung Rotini]

rofl

 

[Yung Rotini]

Hudler put in a real effort to get back there eh

 

[The Cheat]

Whalers did this in 95 with a wrap-around attempt that went the entire length of the ice and back into their own goal after pulling Sean Burke on a delayed penalty

 

[HOLDITHERE*]

Now THAT'S how you tank. Take note, NHL.

 

[Anglesmith]

Saw this one live. Oh, the shame.

Glad we got it to overtime, though!

For anyone wondering why there was a review, it wouldn't have been a goal if they ruled Weber had the last touch. Weber did touch it, but Wideman eventually fired it cleanly down into his own goal.

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

If the Flames player who scored on his own net were mic'd up, he could be heard saying "For McDavid!" before that shot.

 

[Laveuglette]

Didn't Cam Ward score like that one or two years ago?

 

[Bps21*]

Now THAT'S how you tank. Take note, NHL.

There's going to be an Edmonton/Arizona game at some point that is 60 minutes of just this.

Then people will blame Buffalo.

 

[DayTripper]

Now THAT'S how you tank. Take note, NHL.

On December 5, the Flames were 19 points ahead of the Oilers. The Flames have lost eight straight games since then, and they're still ahead of the Oilers by 17 points. There's nothing the Flames can do to catch up.

Friggin' Flames. Can't even lose properly.

Waive everybody!
