Any actual rebuttal to this? Watch the replay again.

Yes, how does a puck start moving in a different direction if nothing touches it?

 

[phrenssoa]

no call lmao

Meh, I feel like that should be let go. It seems to me Danault mostly got stick there.

 

[Divine]

That’s incorrect. Video evidence shows that the puck went from rotating on its horizontal axis to its vertical axis on its way down, while the speed of rotation also changed.

NHL referees aren't working for NASA. If you got to start pulling out a protractor while watching it in super slow motion, it's not conclusive.

Who cares! Can we talk more about how a scrub like Danault is allowed to 2 hand slash a super star and all 4 guys on the ice pretend they sushi see anything

 

[Hank Plank]

Hahahahah you didn't Include the fule rule hahahahha how comical. Read the full rule it's clear as day

provided that.......

Where is the rest?

 

[stats1]

Sorry guys but this whole “pfft Ty the league would never do anything like that is over”

 

[aar000n]

I didnt see LA players doing that, or anything else as blatant.

It wasnt the prettiest game and I can appreciate how frustrating it is to lose a game where you feel like your team dominates, but this ref blaming is getting a bit silly.

All these amateur physicists with the high stick check. It went to the war room and they didnt overturn it, what are you moaning about?

Edmonton play with the razzle dazzle but if they cant keep the discipline in check it is going to cost them.

no call lmao

Here you go. Red Wings fan I dont care who wins I just want a good series.

 

[Kairi Zaide]

Which did not happen on this play.

That is your own personal, subjective opinion on the matter - I haven't looked but I'm sure the rulebook doesn't define "batting to an opponent". This means it's a ruling that is wide open to interpretation. And in such situations, the league generally lets the ruling on the ice stand.

 

[Folignos Helmet]

It is garbage for the league that all people are talking about after a great game is whether a high stick potentially hit the puck well before the great play that ended up with the goal.

If you look hard enough you could find a penalty or infraction on every sequence of every game.

All this nitpicking over every little thing is the curse of video review. It should be gone from the game.

For the first while no one even knew what they were reviewing and now everyone is going crazy about puck rotation.

 

[nabob]

We'll figure out that whole grassy knoll fiasco before we figure out of the puck was touched or

Yes, how does a puck start moving in a different direction if nothing touches it?

Apparently gravity can make things move in a different horizontal direction and even change the rotation axis of the puck lol

LOL. Apparently you haven't heard of gravity.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Meh, I feel like that should be let go. It seems to me Danault mostly got stick there.

weird...Nuge did the same and got called for a penalty (top right)

 

[SettlementRichie10]

Edmonton is the most mentally fragile team in the history of professional sports. Every call is a conspiracy. Hilarious. The Kings aren’t even that good.

 

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

Oilers need to be better, plain and simple.

 

[JKG33]

The arrogance coming from oil country is abhorrent.

Acting like it’s completely impossible that the greatest team on planet earth is simply not finishing on a duly earned win from puck drop.

You'd think getting swept by the Avs would've humbled them after they had an easy run to the WCF, but here we are

 

[authentic]

Yes, how does a puck start moving in a different direction if nothing touches it?

It's a fluttering puck.

 

[Coffey]

So guys. It’s the playoffs.
I’ve been told many times on HF that the refs put the whistles away. When’s that going to happen?

 

[stats1]

This league wants gambling, they want money ( they need money) they want to slowly take over the league.

 

[The Merchant]

Well of there's one thing we can all agree on it's that the Oilers losing in OT twice is really, really, really funny

 

[Hank Plank]

Edmonton is the most mentally fragile team in the history of professional sports. Every call is a conspiracy. Hilarious. The Kings aren’t even that good.

Felt like L.A. was stuck in their own zone most of the game.

 

[Zerotonine]

provided that.......

Where is the rest?

I inserted a image of the full rule

 

[stats1]

You can’t have no name guys like Danault taking 2 hand wacks at super stars and refs turning a blind eye!

 

[TMLife17]

Who cares! Can we talk more about how a scrub like Danault is allowed to 2 hand slash a super star and all 4 guys on the ice pretend they sushi see anything

Mmmmmm sushi

NHL referees aren't working for NASA. If you got to start pulling out a protractor while watching it in super slow motion, it's not conclusive.

It’s not rocket science though. As someone else said, some things can be “conclusive” without being “obvious”, as should have been the case here.

 

[MessierII]

Yeah I thought the Drai call was a bit harsh at the time, but that was about the only one that stood out to me. perhaps the refs were kind of evening up the doughty interference call before he got roughed by nurse

The refs haven’t evened out anything. You guys have a massive advantage in PP minutes including two in overtime. Also we have an Ot game winner called back while yours stood on a similarly sketchy play. Nothing about the refs this series is evened up.

That's best in the universe to you, pal!
