Post-Game Talk: Game 55 - McAVOY SCORES IN OT - BRUINS 2 Chicago 1 F /OT

[caz16]

I am so happy for McAvoy, he has played very well and getting an OT winner is a nice reward. Of course, I have no problem with a controversial goal going our way - we had a disallowed goal by Blidh because it was gloved in, they lost a goal because it was a hand pass. Honestly, I always think they will be called back these days, so it has been shocking that a couple have gone our way in the last two games...about time! Five in a row!!

Cued up to the disallowed goal

They may have shown some better angles during the broadcast, but it doesn’t look like it touches his stick on either of the two angles shown here. Definitely nothing to justify ”guess we can quit crying about bad calls now”

Even less so for the ref to ”admit” to Toews that they made a mistake.

 

[Terrier]

McAvoy gets off the schneid and we won actually won a goal review this week. Next thing you know, we'll win a shootout.

I’m also interested in hearing what the rule book says about hand passing it off a stick. Does it immediately nullify the hand pass or do you need to establish possession (i.e. to the degree that a delayed penalty whistle would be blown)? If it is immediate, does this count for accidental contact with the stick? Does it count for deliberate contact with other body parts? Accidental such contact (swatting at it with your hand, then it bounces off your leg or other arm, etc.)?

Whatever the case, it doesn’t seem to be a routine call for a referee to make even if it did barely graze the stick.

 

[Skelen]

Don't know how people are that blind to see it was a hand pass. He tries to hit it with the stick but doesn't, last point of contact was his hand. Good call for once.

OK, enough with the crazy talk.

 

[Bodit9]

Four games, three goals allowed.

Very nice.

Defense has been really good since Lauzon's been in. Coincidence???

 

[Krupp]

Glad for MacAvoy to finally get one! Hopefully he can tack on at least another one before the season ends

 

[pgm16]

Just watched the game....very nice !!!

Would like to see Wagner as the healthy scratch this weekend and Heinen get back in there. I assume he will have some extra jump.

Wagner is a team-worst minus-9 and almost gave the game away last night with his disastrous shift with 5 minutes remaining.

I'm ready to try a Swedish Meatball 4th line of Blidh-Lindholm-Nordstrom.

I've always been under the impression that once it's been played with the stick (touched it) then it negates the hand pass. I think if you kicked the puck, that would also count as negating it since a play was made on the puck. Looks like he grazes it with his stick in super slo mo but the refs got it right cus in real time, there's no way you could see that.

If Lindholm is replaced by Kuraly it might work.

 

[Bruinaura]

I understand him being upset but he's got the wrong target

 

[Ladyfan]

Can’t believe we are in first right now, pretty cool seeing lauzon get a good look here, I think he’ll be a solid tough player. I’m really pulling for blidh to make a good impression, he seems like the perfect 4th liner to me. Energy, hitting, get under opposing players skins, he hasn’t looked lost out there. He is really good at playing on an edge and not racking up dumb or bad penalties. I loved his game in providence.

anyway pretty solid effort tonight for the guys.


Pizza and fries 4 lyfe....goodnight guys.

Hey a new poster ! Welcome !!!

The puck touches Maatta's stick after he pushes it, and before it reaches Caggiula. So my understanding is it's not a hand pass to a teammate because the stick touch ends the hand pass and only then does it go on to the other player. But to my knowledge this isn't clearly defined in the rulebook, like a number of other things, so I'm not sure and I'm happy to be shown otherwise.

But it's really besides the point anyway. All that matters for the purposes of assessing Toews' response is whether or not he's telling the truth about what the ref told him. If he is, then I don't have a problem with it.

It's still a handpass. Hand pass is only negated by possession and control by the opposing team. Although the puck may have nicked off of his stick is irrelevant. The puck was propelled forward by the hand and any deflection does not negate the handpass.

On the ground safe

How much of a tailwind? Midway to Bedford in 97 minutes

Glad you made it! Turbulence is the worst.

 

[mjhfb]

Glad to see 2 hard working players that have had trouble scoring both get big goals in the same win.

Late night for the little guy

 

[BMC]

Between last night and tonight he must be losing his mind lol

What mind?

 

[BigBear83]

great game, pure domination when 5 on 5.. reallllly wish the 1st pp unit would get off the ice quicker. uncharacteristically bad game by krug and marchy.. when krug got knocked over from behind, all i was thinking was please dont do something dumb (which he did) worst of all it was after he tried to skate through three defenders. though blidh played a perfect 4th liner's game

Hey, let's not get too carried away here

 

[BMC]

I think not. I love the pairing with Gryz, they seem to have good chemistry already. As much as I like Connor Clifton's jam I say keep Lauzon in the lineup, he's got size & strength that Cliffy lacks.

 

[BMC]

So happy for McAvoy it has been a tough season for him offensively to say the least. Not only his first goal but the GWG. Talk about being in the right place at the right time!

I'm also happy to see Sean Kuraly apparently turning his game around- maybe he is more comfortable on the wing than at center?? Anyway he had a very good game.

That whole sequence is not getting enough attention. Very few D men in the NHL could do what he did on that play. That wasn't the parting of the sea goal.

That was guts ,power ,skill,speed and determination. Look where he started that play from.
