GDT: Game 31: Columbus vs. Washington 12/18 7PM EST

[Big Z Man 1990]

Do you think the Caps paid the ref to call that one goal a good goal? If so, I think an investigation is needed.

The reason I mentioned Super Bowl XL is because I'm a Browns fan too and seeing the Steelers win that one the way they did was just awful.

 

[MoeBartoli]

Absolute horse hockey.

 

[JacketFanInFL]

Refs stole this from us. Worst case of refs stealing a win in any sports since Super Bowl XL.

That was a good goal. Take off the tinfoil hat.

 

[Doug19]

Another example of not showing up for a period at a time. Can't win a game if you only show up for two periods.

 

[punk_o_holic]

Bob lets in 5 goals. I blame the guy who started the jinx thread a couple of days ago over on the main hockey talk section.

 

[Jaxs]

Glad to get the point, but son of a B you gotta want it. We can't shut down an opponent to save our lives.

You must have watched a different game.

 

[DJA]

bad things happen when both the D and Bob stink.

 

[Big Z Man 1990]

Well anyway all good things must come to an end sometime. Hopefully we can actually beat Chicago for once.

Can I politely ask what game you were watching?

You're ridiculous. The guy didn't even kick the puck, and the refs didn't make the decision, Toronto did.

 

[LooseCannon]

They didn't have a great night; but this is patently false.

Rimer wouldn't agree with you and neither do I... How do they call back Jenner goal earlier in the season but not this one? It's completely up to Toronto and they said 'eff cbj'

 

[MoeBartoli]

More proof that professional sports are at the description of referees... What a joke.

A blatant kick followed by a slash... Rediculous...

Screw me once, screw me twice....too late, I'm screwed.

 

[G0AT]

Hawks fan here. The game was on csn here in Chicago so I watched. Glad to see Morin get a point. Also, you guys are good, and fun to watch. Refs were Trollin a bit tonight.

Really looking forward to Saturday's game.

Using a guy like Rimer who can't even see what players are on the ice, certainly doesn't bode well for your case.

For the last frikkin' time. The GMs changed the "distinct kicking motion" rule to make it more literal and permissive. Yes we've been screwed by that in the past, but this time the ruling was correct.

 

[Big Z Man 1990]

Right now I'm worried about how we will do against Chicago. We haven't fared well against them in recent years ever since they started to contend for the Cup (even winning the Cup twice).

Chicago is one of the best teams in the league I won't argue with that. At least we will be playing them at home so that "da-da-da da-da-da" song (which I like in other contexts) won't be around.

 

[DJA]

Florida wins. now 7 points out

 

[alphafox]

Forget about this one fast because we face two legitimately good teams next, lets hope this isn't the start of a losing streak.

 

[major major]

Foligno now with 30 pts in 30 games, leads the team.

That kicking motion was easily the distinctest I have seen since last June in Brazil. But the #Caps, apparently, can score this way now #CBJ

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Great 2nd and good start to the 3rd. Chokejob from there. Two soft goals on Bob (the first and alzner). Can't play like that in the first and can't choke away leads. Sucks

He angled it in, no forward kick. And actually anyone can score that way now, it's the rule.

If Jenners goal was a kicking motion while he is getting upended, that Caps goal is a kick too...

What is a kicking motion then? He directed the puck with his skate, moving his blades inward toward the net as the pass came in. If that's not a kick then the Jenner goal was not either. No consistency...

 

[major major]

Now that you remind me of it, I can remember that Jenner disallowed goal. Jenner definitely had more of a kick than Brouwer.
