High stick

 

[cliffclaven]

Lmao. Played with a high stick and then tipped in. Good god LA got screwed.

 

[Tom Brady]

High stick

Right in front of the zebra too, lol.

 

[Frank the Tank]

Why didn't LA challenge that? The new rule could have cancelled that goal created off a high stick.

 

[tarheelhockey]

Wow, it’s amazing to see this

I haven't seen an angle low enough to actually show the puck relative to the shoulder, but I'm guessing that if there was one, it was at best inconclusive. Also, in the last minute it wouldn't be a coach's challenge. All challenges are initiated by Toronto.

What an outstanding set of hands.

Who cares, Doughty scored in OT.

Hrudey almost diverted from his talking points when he saw the replay. That's how obvious it was.

 

[Langdon Alger]

I guess Doughty got the last laugh tonight.

 

[GhostfaceWu]

Glove pass and than like a foot above the crossbar high stick and Mclellan doesn't even have a conversation about it.

 

[cliffclaven]

Justice and I don’t even like doughty lol

If it was obvious, the refs and Toronto would have overruled it. It wasn’t. It’s a goal, you don’t like it, leave.

Hrudey (like most commentators) is not an expert in the rules. He was likely looking at the first contact and thinking it needed to be below the cross-bar.

There are seemingly infinite examples of why you shouldn't use commentators as a reference when it comes to rules.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Justice and I don’t even like doughty lol

Same. He’s annoying.

 

[Frank the Tank]

Impossible. I heard from the Flames broadcast team that Lucic wore Doughty out by turning over the puck and letting Doughty knock him down.

 

[Ctrain2k]

Is the NHL gonna have a high sticking problem this was like a foot and a half above the bar. First the Landeskog one now this?

Toronto can't review at 1:04. Needs to be challenged.

too close in the heat of the moment i think, can't risk the penalty and give them the W potentially on the PP

 

[Halakitlikethat]

Doesn’t look like a high stick to me

in this situation it's the shoulder though, was definitely above the crossbar but he didn't put it straight in off that touch, it went in off the 2nd touch

i take nothing away from the hand-eye required for that goal though, honestly digusting

 

[Toews2Bickell]

oilers won a trade for the first time in half a decade...they're really gonna run the lucic thing into the ground lol

 

[Kanye]

What does this thread have to do with James Neal?

 

[inthe6ix]

Definitely was high on the initial touch - for chrissakes it was above his shoulders at eye level before it dropped and he tapped it in on the second touch.

They scored anyways, so why not challenge it? If you lose, it's a penalty with 1 minute left, but you're still up 1 - practically just gave them the goal to steal a point and take it to OT.

LA won anyways, but that goal shouldn't have counted.
