Zibanejad ridiculous shortie

[Lays]

Stick checks the puck away on a high danger scoring chance and then rushes down the ice to embarrass his close friend Zucc with a smooth finish. Electric

Hook, lucky he got away with it... (Rangers fan btw).

 

[Taluss]

Nice goal but yeah missed hook

 

[ODoyle]

The most amazing part is how he got away with that hook.

 

[QJL]

Borderline hook, and an above average goal at best.

 

[State of Hockey]

At first I thought is was a hook, but one angle showed that it might have been all stick lift. If it was, heckuva goal. If not, lucky one.

The age of leaf posts is over.
The time of rangers posting, has come.

I love the Rangers' play-by-play guy, he sounds like an old man spitting cracker crumbs everywhere

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Ridiculous...?

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Probably not thread worthy but it wasn't a hook, he got the stick. Only good thing about this terrible game.

 

[TriFF51]

I only saw that side angle once but it looked like he got all stick...great effort either way

Bally replys looked pretty clear it was a hook(in slow mo obviously). No biggie, refs can't catch em all and it was far side of the ref in position to catch it.

I’ve seen a lot more underwhelming plays and goals get threads but I wouldn’t call that ‘ridiculous’.

It was nice and highly skilled though, and not a hook clearly stick on stick

 

[summer tooth]

This goal should get 2+ threads - what a ridiculous move and even better finish!

Zibanejad is a really good player, and that was a nice move, but that was a hook. The refs in the little pea brains refuse to call a SH team for a penalty, even though the infraction led to a goal(in this case).

I don't see how both refs can miss that...there was only two players and a puck in the center of the ice, with no one else around them. What else could they have been looking at?

“Stick checks the puck away”

 

[Tofveve]

That's a sweet ass goal.

Well, one was behind t

One was behind, blocked by two bodies.
Other was opposite side of the infraction.

Also could have been classic game management, not wanting to change a goal to 5 on 3.

Oh well. All well that ends well.

I thought it was a hook as well but it's actually a perfect stick lift.

All stick, no hands and and no hook.

 

[Bruce Granville]

This should be about the refs missing an obvious hook.
Sure, suddenly Zuc can‘t skate and tries to embellish….or just what really happened.

Zucc knew he got played.

Great play by Zibanejad a lot better than some goals that get posted. That was defensive IQ, hustle, and skill. All in one goal created from nothing.

Stick check so good people think he was cheating.

 

[Machinehead]

The most remarkable thing in this whole sequence is "key save from Georgiev"

 

[2014nyr]

i couldnt believe wasnt a hook called live and not sure needs a thread

but replays actually look like he got all stick and zucc going down was him trying to throw the brakes on at full speed mid turn to reach for the puck now behind him...looks clean to me. but probably the first time in nhl history a play like that didnt get the call. refs last game, they let the boys play all night too so maybe that played a part in context

for anyone convinced its a penalty remember minn got to play georgiev.... right thing to do was spot us 3 at least, so call it refs doing gods work

All stick, no hands and and no hook.

What does showing a frame before contact show? His stick is literally around his body, inches from his hands/ wrists in that frame. Blade is even pointing in, like a hook towards him.
