GDT: HFBoards GDT | 2/5/20 - So many games, I can't even count that high.

[bardown23]

Bruins can thank the officials for that one. Christ.

Eh bad call but they dominated the whole game. Really shouldn’t have even been close.

 

[JaegerDice]

It's hard to feel robbed when you were outplayed the whole damn night

I'm with you, the Hawks were definitely outplayed tonight.

But they were also completely robbed of the W.

Cool story, but the goal still should have counted.

 

[bardown23]

Cool story, but the goal still should have counted.

I agree. Blackhawks also shouldn’t have won. They didn’t.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Barely discernible zoomed in on and in slo-mo. It’s not an egregious missed call, if it even was, at game speed.

 

[JaegerDice]

I agree. Blackhawks also shouldn’t have won. They didn’t.

Pretty much. The right team won for the wrong reasons, but the right team still one.

 

[KCbus]

It's a hand pass. Even in super-slo-mo, I still can't tell if he touched the puck with his stick afterward. I think it's the right call. And even if it's not, you had a 4-on-3 power play in overtime and didn't convert.

No pity.

 

[hawksrule]

That’s not how it works.

 

[Il Stugotz]

If it was a hand pass then why did they wait 5+ seconds to blow the whistle?

The near ref calls it dead immediately, but you can’t see him because the fans are standing

 

[JaegerDice]

That’s not how it works.

The team that deserves to win doesn't always win in hockey.

If the Blackhawks won, that would be what happened. They got outplayed all night.

Ultimately, their goalie stole them a point they didn't deserve, and the refs cost them the 2nd of 2 points they wouldn't have deserved. The team that played better ended up winning.

Would it have been easier to swallow if they had just won 4-1 in regulation? Sure. At the end of the day, the team that deserved 2 points got them.

There have been nights where the Blackhawks have won games they didn't deserve, and lost games they deserved a better fate. **** happens.

 

[Il Stugotz]

Afterparty is Leafs/Kings trade rumors!

 

[koyvoo]

Afterparty is Leafs/Kings trade rumors!

It’s a done deal

 

[Bee Holder]

Hawks deserved to lose that game. I don't want to see anyone from Chicago whining about the call. Play better.

I'm not from Chicago (nor a fan of) therefore I have "a right" to protest:

It's not about deserving or not. In the end it's about who scores more legal goals than the other team. Chicago did in regulation. End of story.

For those who say it was a hand pass, I have 2 things to say to you:

1- It was not. look closely at the replay, the puck touches the heel of the stick after the glove pushes it.

2- "Even if it was a hand pass", then why would the ref wait so long to whistle? Like, is it legitimate to cancel a play even do there were no whistling directly after the act (past the "whistling intent" timespan)?

Nota Bene - For those of you who might say I'm biased, I actually cheered for BOS tonight, and also most of the time (even as a Habs fan born and raised on MTL)

Deserve has nothing to do with it. Chicago was outplayed, yes. That doesn’t make it any more proper for a god-awful ref call to cost them the winning goal.

 

[HereCometheHawks]

Ref admitted to Toews he blew it.

 

[Slasher45]

Ref admitted to Toews he blew it.

Congratulations on not winning the game. You also had a portion of a power play in OT that was complete shit.

 

[MattMartin]

What happened to the updates to the leafs record under Keefe?

 

[Honey Bear]

Ref admitted to Toews he blew it.

Toews is known to lie. Wouldn't be surprised if that's the case here. REAL TIME IT LOOKED LIKE A HAND PASS. What part of that do you people not understand? Even on the replay you'd have to look at it too many times, there's no way the ref thought he "blew it" without having even had a chance to take a 2nd look at it.

You already blundered yourself. "Look closely at the replay" You have to look closely at a replay just to see it. People here acting like it wasn't a close play and even when you look closely it isn't definitive. Nobody blew anything, especially not in a real time.

Source this with an example please.

 

[Honey Bear]

Then why did the blow the whistle after the goal was scored? Huh? Let me guess, the league is rigged. Was it rigged when we won 3 cups too? I bet you won't admit to that.

All I did was ask you a question smart guy. Why did they blow the whistle? If they had, you might have an argument. As it is, your argument is nonsense.
