If a player has to be in control of his stick, goalie has to be in control of his net

[Leafsfan74]

Once again the net taken off it's moorings when Elliot accidentally knocks it off. A player would get a penalty for an accidental high stick, sometimes four minutes if he draws blood, so: a two minute penalty for delay of game, a five minute penalty if it would have resulted in a goal if the net hadn't been taken off.

Fix the net and fix the rules. This could mean the difference between a playoff team or not, home ice advantage or not.

This is from a month ago - EXACT same situation and the call goes the other way. Wouldn't be such a piss off if these calls actually went our way from time to time, or at least had a semblance of consistency

It’s bush league. So inconsistent.

This better not happen in the playoffs.

As far as I know the rules this isn't the exact same situation as the shot was already taken before the net came off and the net coming off didn't affect if the puck was going in or not. With Elliott the net was already off and I think the puck was going to hit the post if it was not off. With that said I'd be annoyed if I was a TO fan and it should prob. be a penalty. The Andersen one you linked and Elliott ones I also think were truly accidental compared to the Chicago one from last week which seemed a lot more intentional.

Freddie come on man

 

[NewEraGM]

That is not same situation at all. Both Toronto no goals, the net was off BEFORE the shot occurred. For the Montreal goal, the net came off while the shot was on the way...
2 different situations.

Also, here’s a solution, don’t let in the first 5 goals of the game.

Absolutely pathetic. Fcking Elliot took the net off, should've been a goal.

No, stick is equipment, net is part of the field.

Dunno if Anderson knocked the moorings off I would be clapping

I teach kids it's better to cheat and win then to be honest and lose

 

[Philadelphia Ducks]

Of course you think the puck was going to hit the post. Go away ****face.

lol, relax dude

[cannucky]

they could go back to anchoring the nets and eliminate the problem

 

[notDatsyuk]

That had to be the dummest op I've seen, which is saying a lot.

You can bet it will.

The goalies are practicing now

I taught my players to be gentlemen first, hockey players second, and, cheaters never! Play hard, play fair, play to have fun, win if you can!

I'm at a hockey tournament this weekend and our goalie did it today. Very effective. The other team's stands were outraged.

It should be a delay of game penalty

And having skaters breaking their legs and sustaining other injuries from hitting an immovable object. No thanks.

I'd rather they award a goal, award a penalty shot, or asses a 2 minute penalty for knocking the net off when it is not assisted by the opposition. And, it should be automatic and not something that is a judgement call by the Refs!

 

[cannucky]

it was sarcasm einstein , we have to take missed calls as the trade off for safety but it is in some ways like the equipment arguement , there was a lot more respect between the players when they weren't playing in battle armour .
