Puck goes through hole in net, goal counts in PIT-CBJ

[Harv]

Bjorkstrand shot a puck that went through a hole in the net and the goal stood because the Penguins used their challenge. Never change NHL.

Here's the video:

Only the preseason though, so it's not a big deal.

Nope, it's game 7 in OT of the Stanley cup finals. Pens lose and the other team did not even score.

Since when is there video review in preseason?

Since when is there video review in preseason?

Since when hasn't there been?

I know everyone says ''Preseason heh heh heh.'' But these games matter for guys trying to win jobs.

Yikes. That's a pretty bad mistake.

unless it was referees that were fighting for jobs it really doesn't matter

That Bjorkstrand is one special player!

Welcome to the club. Now come back when it happens in a playoff game.

I don't think this goal will have any impact on that. The more concerning thing is that it should have been an easy review and overturn. Regardless of any challenge made, or other contributing factors, the puck goes through the net. It shouldn't count. Period.

In the regular season the NHL verifies every goal from their office in Toronto. They do not do this in preseason. Ever. Never have.


I have never heard of a guy losing out on a job in the NHL because of a non goal in the preseason.

"Sorry journyman AHLer, I would have loved to have given you a shot at the bigs, but the other team scored from behind the net by shooting it through the net. This is on you."

Earlier this year when the Canucks didn't get a goal despite it clearly being in the net? Or earlier this week when the refs had to have a conference to waive off a hand goal by the Jets rather than using video review?

Hardest shot in the league right there.

Then why do coaches have challenges in the preseason then?

 

[Shrimper]

Pretty bad for the refs not to spot that

 

[monsieurthibz]

Rumour has it that Bjorkstrand spotted the hole earlier in the game, and was looking to bank that shot at some point.. Kid's good, folks!

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

Hockey gods just even things out. Point shot got deflected by a Columbus skater right to Malkin who taps it in the wide open net

Not every game does.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

It's really not.


What is bad is the league not overturning that goal. The Ref is gonna be positioned on the other side of the net on this play so it would be difficult to see the puck actually go through the netting.

 

[monsieurthibz]

Idk if you guys spotted Sullivan talking to the ref but he seemed to not care that much about the goal not being overturned.

 

[Elvs]

The video won't play for me

Umm that's a real goal though.

 

[Paxton Fettel]

But this happened in the NHL already. Against Hasek when he was with Buffalo. I think Shanahan scored the goal.

EDIT : 2000 playoffs and Leclair scored it.

[Toene]

I'd give him the goal just because he shot through that small area with pinpoint accuracy. Normal goals are scored in a an area 6ft x 4ft, and this hole was what, a couple inches x a couple inches?

Generational play right there

 

[Cursed Lemon]

Did Gretzky score any goals through the net?

No, no he did not.
