Tkachuk with GOTY Candidate

[Barrsy]

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.

I don't like it, it shouldn't have counted & Im still here.
How bout that Doughty celly!!!!!!

 

[Langdon Alger]

Doesn’t look like a high stick to me

It did to me.

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

I was willing to let it go and then Eric Francis and Hrudey went full spin zone in the second intermission and 3rd period, respectively.

 

[Rangediddy]

It did to me.

You should apply to be a ref, god knows the league needs some good ones

No thanks, I get enough flaming toilet paper thrown on me at home.

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

Not a glove pass. Glove passes only include instances where a player intentionally directs the puck toward a teammate. In this case, the Flames player intentionally reached out for the puck, but the puck merely deflected off his glove. He did not mean to direct it back in the direction it went. That's the distinction. From the rule: "the play shall not be stopped unless, in the opinion of the Referee, he has deliberately directed the puck to a teammate in any zone other than the defending zone." There was no intent for the puck to go the way it did.

The high stick, that's on the Kings' video team to find an angle showing the puck clearly above the shoulder on the first contact. The second contact with respect to the crossbar would have been automatically reviewed anyway. They don't leave it to the head coach to determine things on a tablet with the stakes what they are these days. That would be foolish. You can probably rest assured that sufficient evidence didn't exist.

 

[McRpro]

Just watched it. Obvious high stick can't believe LA didn't challenge that.

 

[Muffin]

Definitely high stick, evens out the Landeskog one I guess?

 

[fsanford]

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

Cuz we would have missed the Doughty walk off, it was gold.

 

[volcom92886]

Clearly a high stick, not surprised that the ref whom was right there failed to make the call.

 

[McXLNC97]

Yeah because we all know that the refs and especially Toronto always, always get the call right....lol

 

[Anglesmith]

Here's the video:



From this angle, whether that first hit was above the shoulder depends on how far in front of him the puck is, which is impossible to tell in this view. The second hit is pretty clearly below the bar.

 

[DrDrai]

He’s looking up at this point.

 

[Coffey]

Nice to see LA get screwed in the dying seconds of a game for once.

 

[kilowatt]

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.

Not sure what you mean. If you lose, it's a penalty with one minute left and the game is now tied. That seems like a huge gamble, considering the momentum.

 

[volcom92886]

Here's the video:

How does the ref with a clear view of the play and looking directly at it not make that call?

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

about as obvious as it gets...Flames pull an undeserved point out of their ass

but Doughty clowning the Flames fans was priceless lol

 

[kilowatt]

He’s looking up at this point.

If you ignore the blatant high stick, then I don't think it was a high stick.

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

How does the ref with a clear view of the play and looking directly at it not make that call?

He heard of my Kings in regulation bet

 

[Anglesmith]

How does the ref with a clear view of the play and looking directly at it not make that call?

I think before exclaiming things like this, a second angle which helps to actually determine the height of the puck would be helpful.

 

[crue7]

Pretty funny not one word from a fan base that cried about the Landeskog goal for days and that one happened in the neutral zone.

You can't even challenge highsticks in the neutral zone either. This year you can challenge in the offensive zone that result in a goal. LA coach fudged that one up big time.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Cuz we would have missed the Doughty walk off, it was gold.

Enjoy it since I don’t think LA will be winning a lot of games this year.

 

[McXLNC97]

Not sure what you mean. If you lose, it's a penalty with one minute left and the game is now tied. That seems like a huge gamble, considering the momentum.

I don't believe that's correct. It's only a 2 minute penalty on a failed offside challenge.

edit: never mind, i was wrong, it's a penalty on any lost challenge now, not a lost time out.
