Penalty shot call in the Leafs-Isles Game

[Xscout*]

Isles fan here. That was one of the worst and weakest calls I have ever seen.

This dude's alright.

 

[EK65IsAGod]

Best not check the scoreboard tonight, then

u guys lost right?

This is from the NHL rulebook , 57.3 Penalty Shot, someone please point out if this is inaccurate:


[/LIST]

Condition 3 was not met. Blown call. Replay shows it clear as day. The (flubbed) shot got off fine. No chance was prevented.

 

[shaner8989]

Embarrassing call. Ref should be canned.

 

[Kelly]

You're right, but it doesn't mean he had no control on the outcome of said penalty shot.



I never said that.

I never said that.

 

[Leaf handler]

Do the refs ever have to answer for absolutely ridiculous things like this? I mean sometimes you can make the case either way but this is pretty funny

 

[SI90]

This dude's alright.

Just calling a spade a spade.

 

[Beautvillier]

Yeah was a bad call, would've been angry if they called it on us. We didn't show up anyways though.

 

[Flames Fanatic]

Awful call, but more often than not the refs will call as soon as they see the stick in the hands. Hardly new.

"The fact that the player got a shot off does not automatically eliminate this play from the penalty shot consideration criteria. If the foul was from behind and the player was denied a “more” reasonable scoring opportunity due to the foul, then the penalty shot should still be awarded."

If Hunwick didn't actually make contact, then that's just bad luck for the Leafs.

Basically.

There was no stick in the hands though. He may not have made contact at all, that's what makes it so mindblowing. Hunwick basically said "I'm trash, I give up, just take the shot", and he still got dinged for a penalty.

 

[Nolanitis]

Isles fan, horrible call. Should not warrant a penalty yet alone a penalty shot

Bad luck indeed. And mistake on Morton.

Definition of blown call right there.

 

[ChurchOfMatthews]

If the game was closer or if the leafs lost, I reckon Babcock would be paying a fine tomorrow.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

rued to Screw Toronto out of the win tonight

did not work

 

[swimmer77]

Babcock was mad, Weight would have been mad. Not the worse call ever. And the talking heads took full advantage after the Leafs totally and embarrassingly blew a three on one which they never mentioned during their intermission tirade. LOL

Leafs won and overcame some adversity after constantly blowing leads. They should be thanking that ref for giving them the opportunity to clear that hurdle.

Stick parallel to the ice from behind with that motion adds fuel. Can't tell if contact was made or not. Why was Chimera's shot weak? IDK Maybe a weak call but gutsy in that toxic environment. LOL

 

[Smartguy]

Came in here expecting a blatant proper call being that it was a leafs thread, but indeed that is a legit crap call. In what world does a ref rationalize that as a penalty shot?

 

[GrandmaSlices51631]

Yeah that call was rediculous.
No doubt about it.

Also calling conditions 1 and 2 not met.

No infraction was present.


Blown badly.

Not saying he got it right, I'm outlining the possible justification for it, since people seem to think it was a conspiracy, completely unfounded, worst call in hockey history, etc. Even with all the replays in this thread from different angles, there's still some uncertainty towards whether or not contact was made.

 

[Leafs87]

Worst part is Nylander later on had a play where it was more of a penalty shot worthy play. Still I wouldn't call either but when you make that call earlier then not this it just doesn't make sense

 

[On-the-Fly]

Not saying he got it right, I'm outlining the possible justification for it, since people seem to think it was a conspiracy or completely unfounded, or the worst call in hockey history. Even with all the replays in this thread from different angles, there's still some ambivalence towards whether or not contact was made.

Appreciated.

Either it meets criteria or it doesnt. Binary in a sense. This one fails 3 of 4. There is no justification. Its a mistake. Human error.

Not mutually exclusive. This is right before Chimera takes his shot, (which was weak), from the nearest vantage point to the ref's out of the videos shared in this thread:

If there was no contact, and Chimera simply shot poorly by himself, well, like you said, human error.

Good shot of what would be the ref's perspective I'm guessing and the guy that had to make the call in a split second. But the talking heads said it was the worse call ever so it must have been.

Trouba was in the same situation and went stick on stick (you could hear the wood tap) a week or two ago and they called a penalty shot there too. This one's even worse though, holy crap what an absolute beyond garbage call.
