I don't know what's subjective about a kicking motion. The whole point of the rule is to avoid goalies being hit by skates. The IIHF rule is a clear distinction "any goal scored as directed by the foot is not a goal" to the NHL's "no goal shall be allowed if scored by a distinct kicking motion."Kicking vs re-directing is WAY WAY too subjective.
Just change the damn rule, as long as your skate stays on the ice (safety issue)
it counts and be done with it
Bettman are you listening
Marner
Matthews
Hyman
Tavares
Top four Leafs forwards tonight.

If a guy swipes his foot forward, that's a kick. Anything else, at worst, is an attempted redirection with the foot. Bellemare did not kick it.
Hawks get their first ever point against the Knights
Agreed.That's the thing, there can be forward motion to position the skate. That isn't a kick and you see that all the time. I think changing the rule that the skate must stay on the ice would be a good compromise.
I tought Matthews had a very poor game. Nylander carried the puck very well and was strong on the puck for the most part
Yeah, but it was more like what fans would comment during the game than actual PBP. Hilarious stuff though, especially considering Snoop Dawg's dialect.is he actually doing a broadcast?
they let him do the play by play the last 5 minutes or so, and it was incredible.is he actually doing a broadcast?
You'd give a guy an entire season at 7 million to get his game back?
Here you guys go
