GDT: WCF Game 2: Chicago @ Anaheim Part 2

[Backyard Hockey]

Terrible announcing. They should be finding that in the rule book right now

 

[G0AT]

Wow what's the rule on that?

 

[IndianHeadSweater]

Pathetic.

 

[DrunkKaner88]

Show me where that is at in the rule book

 

[WJSN]

They need to explain the rule

 

[BrianE]

I've never seen it done before, wow.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

Seriously. This is the NHLs broadcast. Why is there no producer telling the announcers what the rule is?

 

[Nothingman*]

They need to explain the rule

This.

Closest I can come is Rule 38.4, subsection iv:

iv) Puck directed or batted into the net by a hand or foot or deliberately batted with any part of the attacking player’s body. With the use of a foot/skate, was a distinct kicking motion evident? If so, the apparent goal must be disallowed. A DISTINCT KICKING MOTION is one which the player propels the puck with his skate into the net. If the Video Goal Judge / League Office Video Room determines that it was put into the net by an attacking player using a distinct kicking motion, it must be ruled NO GOAL. This would also be true even if the puck, after being kicked, deflects off any other player of either team and then into the net. This is still NO GOAL. However, a puck that enters the goal after deflecting off an attacking player’s skate or that deflects off his skate while he is in the process of stopping, shall be ruled a good goal. See also 49.2.

Haha I had no idea you couldn't headbutt it. You don't see that every day though

 

[Ace Rothstein]

The second half of that PP was pathetic.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

Eddie O would be explaining this rule.

Not these clowns

 

[Marina]

That ****ing blows.

Whatever, score another.

 

[IndianHeadSweater]

First time I've ever seen that. Still would like to hear the rule.

 

[BoHorvat 53]

Okay I think that it might not be a goal and it makes sense why. If hitting it in with a glove intentionally doesn't count a header shouldn't. But pls end it ASAP so I can sleep.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

Closest I can come is Rule 38.4, subsection iv:

That's says hand or foot. Nothing about head

 

[kuzy]

They're not explaining the rule because there probably isn't one

"or deliberately batted with any part of a player's body"

In Wednesday's edition of "C'mon Ref": Kerry Fraser spins a tale of lies one after another in order to defend the officiating crew at all costs.

 

[Kurtosis]

Thanks UNWT.

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

The second half of that PP was pathetic.

To be fair, it would be pretty deflating to have a game winner disallowed.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Crawford with huge saves

 

[Pepe Silvia]

Damn I really thought that was a good goal. Only Shaw would think to do that lmao

 

[BrianE]

if it would have gone off his head unintentional most likely would have counted.
