GDT: Game 33: Sens @ Avs - December 21, 2023 7:00PM Win. Just Win. (Extended Stat Pack Edition)

Oh I forgot, that last MacKinnon goal was definitely offside, wasn't it?

That shit was definitely offside. They didn't call it back for fear of a riot due to all the hats thrown on the ice.

 

[Foppa2118]

More like Smejkal is stronger on that play.

Sorry SEPH, but you're wrong. You can clearly see Smejkal lift his leg and throw him back in the gif. That's a textbook slew foot. Smejkal looks like he's doing a Captain Morgan's impression.

How do you think his leg ended up completely horizontal with the ice while falling backward?

Do you guys here want Lindholm or do you want some bandaid instead as 2C? If you want Lindholm than you have to be patient because CAL is most likely not selling for a while yet as they are currently still battling for a WC spot being only 3pts out.

I respectfully disagree, if they are sure they can't re-sign him, they won't let him walk out for nothing like Gaudreau did. Even if they make the playoffs, deep down they know they are not contenders as things stand.

I'm sure they will not let him walk for nothing or that would be stupid in their situation but:
1. The return could easily go up as the TDL approaches, and
2. They might one to use Lindholm as long as they can to increase their chance to make the playoffs then sell closer to the TDL. Playoffs are good revenues for the team.even only one series.

All I'm saying is that CMac might not have the choice. If he wants Lindholm he has to wait for CAL to make the decision of selling. Selling now when still very close to a WC spot is not a good look to their fans.

Always funny when people use any camera angle that isn't looking straight down, or straight across.

It's crazy how much the angle cheats and fools the eye

 

[Foppa2118]

Oh I forgot, that last MacKinnon goal was definitely offside, wasn't it?

Definitely looked like it might have been, but there was no conclusive angle.

I thought it was funny though that Jordan Samuels-Thomas had irked the Avs players and fans in at least two games earlier in the season with bad officiating, then didn't make any of the 7 penalty calls in this game up until that point (and maybe none later not sure), but then the other ref let him announce the Avs had a good goal.

Fantasy spin: NHL EDGE stats this week | NHL.com

Kaprizov, Faber skating distances, Nichushkin’s speed, Weegar’s value among takeaways

Nichushkin hit the top recorded speed in the league so far this year, last night.


Its not all that surprising. When he gets moving through the neutral zone he is insanely quick. And so hard to defend.

Someone needs to explain to me the cognitive dissonance of "mack was definitely offside" and "there was no visual evidence of it"

Physics.

The last frame that we can see he can barely touch the line with his skate and he's going forward. He's a small fraction of a second away from not being able to touch it anymore.

Meanwhile the puck is still well on the line. It's easy to conclude that he crossed to the other side before the puck.

It doesn't seem like it was easy to conclude that for Toronto

Because even if they know it happened they have to see it to reverse the call

 

[Foppa2118]

I think @wayninja was just being literal regarding "definitely" and "no conclusive evidence." I'm a stickler for that stuff too. That's why I phrased mine as "looked like it might have been."

But that's how evidence works

It was cool to see Mack looking where is Moose before scoring that en.

For the life of me, I cannot understand why the NHL does not have cameras above the bluelines. They've got them above the goalies, put a couple cheap-ass HD cameras out above the bluelines and you'll be able to see offsides beautifully.

If they did, MacK’s hat trick goal wouldn’t count

Probably plenty of security cameras in the rafters to monitor for anything suspcious too.

There was probably a guy from Chicago sitting behind a monitor somewhere screaming "Dese guys are offsides you friggin morons!"

Judging by the time and rest of the post, I think you might have missed this dirty slew foot from Smejkal?

Textbook slew foot as well. Kicks the leg forward and throws him back. LOC went after him afterwards too.

I like that Bo kept battling to prevent the goal though, instead of laying on the ice or barking at the official.

Yeah, all I saw was Byram on the ice and nobody around him lol

Definitely looked bad. Like he was swimming out there.

 

[missionAvs]

This is literally the real reason why. I don't think they wanted to call back a goal where hundreds of hats were thrown onto the ice. This goal gets called back if it didn't have the hattrick tied to it.


Oh and I almost forgot, AINEC.

 

[expatriatedtexan]

If the NHL really wanted to get things right, they could use all the player and puck tracking technology to automatically call offsides, icing and goals. The technology is all there and being used for other things.

Hoo boy monster Mack.
Only now got to watching the highligts.

 

[the_fan]

Makar has 8 goals. Hughes and Dahlin have 9 each.

Makar has 12. He has scored at least like 4 own goals including one in this game
