The most amazing ending to an OT ever.

 

[Chuck]

fucking bullshit!

 

[Marvie_3]

Buuuuuuuuuullshit

 

[NetMapel]

GOD DAMN LOL no goal after all that celebration.

 

[LyleLanley]

That was cool as fuck, just give him the goal.

 

[Bsigg12]

Chicago should win for creativity. That was awesome.

 

[MeBecomingI]

How does that not count!?

No rule against it! That should fucking count!

 

[Revenant]

Is that actually in the rule book?

 

[BigJonsson]

I guess a head is equal to a hand

 

[MetatronM]

So it's not legal, then?

Or are the refs just guessing?

 

[Calamari41]

YOU CAN'T HEADBUTT! WHO WOULD HAVE EVER KNOWN?

 

[Deadbeat]

Thats a load of shit.

 

[calder]

NO GOAL FOR THE CHICAGO PERSON

 

[Smiley90]

interesting


somebody find the rulebook on this LOOOOOOOOL

I am so confused, what's the rule?!

 

[RC]

Oh come on, that's the most head's up play I've ever seen.

 

[grandjedi6]

Since when is that against the rules?

 

[Draconian]

lol what a bunch of garbage

 

[HadesGigas]

"theres no rule against headbutting the puck in!"
*ref disallows goal*

Thanks, NBC commentators.

 

[ZeroGravity]

Is that even a rule?

 

[LJ11]

Unreal. I've watched this sport for well over 25 years, never seen anything like that.

 

[TheKaeptain]

I like that call. This isn't soccer.

 

[Filth]

How does that not count!?

No rule against it! That should fucking count!

HIS HEAD WAS ABOVE THE CROSSBAR!!!!

 

[Dr.Acula]

Coolest no-goal I've seen in my entire life.

 

[TheStruggler]

huh shouldnt they go to toronto for that and ask about the ruling in the rule book

 

[BigJonsson]

You can't punch the puck in the net either, or kick it in so you can't headbutt it in

 

[Calamari41]

huh shouldnt they go to toronto for that and ask about the ruling in the rule book

I'm sure they did

 

[Marvie_3]

I like that call. This isn't soccer.

Yeah this isnt a boring sport for eurotrash.

 

[Cindro]

THE MOST GLORIOUS GOAL I'VE EVER SEEN CUT DOWN BY THE MAN

I WANT TO SEE THE OFFICIAL RULE THAT BANS HEADBUTTS

 

[Quick]

Gonna need to see a gif or video of that. Refs really hate Marvie.

 

[yuraya]

Should have given it to him for the effort. He deserved it lol

 

[Stuggernaut]

Is that actually in the rule book?

Yes, there is a rule that says if you intentionally direct a puck into the net with anything other than your stick, disallowed.

Accidental, A-OK

 

[Calamari41]

All of the East Coast missed that lol

I still can't believe it

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

I kind of want to know the reasoning, I guess the puck was high

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

Oh god this is.

Ow.

Augh.

 

[Marvie_3]

Even if that wasnt a goal, thats the first time Shaw has ever used his head while playing hockey.

 

[calder]

I'm too lazy to look it up on my iPad, but I believe there are rules about directing the puck in the net on purpose with your body other than your feet.. maybe it's more encompassing than just saying you can't do it with your hands?

 

[jello44]

Rule 78.4, Scoring a Goal, states:
If an attacking player has the puck deflect into the net, off his skate or body, in any manner, the goal shall be allowed. The player who deflected the puck shall be credited with the goal.
Rule 78.4, Disallowed Goals, states:
Apparent goals shall be disallowed by the Referee and the appropriate announcement made by the Public Address Announcer for the following reasons: (i) When the puck has been directed, batted or thrown into the net by an attacking player other than with a stick.

So yeah, no goal is the correct call.

 

[Samyy]

Is that even a rule?

Yea you can't intentionally score with any thing else, any part of the body, only your stick

 

[ZeroGravity]

Rule 78.5 I guess:

Apparent goals shall be disallowed by the
Referee and the appropriate announcement made by the Public
Address Announcer for the following reasons:

(i) When the puck has been directed, batted or thrown into the net by an
attacking player other than with a stick.

 

[Revenant]

Yes, there is a rule that says if you intentionally direct a puck into the net with anything other than your stick, disallowed.

Accidental, A-OK

I just meant the headbutt, arms and kicks haven't been allowed, I've just never had to interpret a header in all my years of hockey though.

 

[Smiley90]

Yes, there is a rule that says if you intentionally direct a puck into the net with anything other than your stick, disallowed.

Accidental, A-OK

I had to look at the rulebook and that's literally what it says, yeah :lol

hilarious though

 

[Smiley90]

"Intentional headers" just never happen which is why we've never had to think about it. :lol

 

[Dr.Acula]

What about when a player angles his skate so that a shot caroms off it into the net?

 

[Revenant]

What about when a player angles his skate so that a shot caroms off it into the net?

Legal

 

[Marvie_3]

Keep turning that puck over idiots

 

[zroid]

I can't take this

 

[ZeroGravity]

What about when a player angles his skate so that a shot caroms off it into the net?

That's legal.

 

[Smiley90]

What about when a player angles his skate so that a shot caroms off it into the net?

Deflection =/= redirection

if the puck went off his head into the net without the obvious "jump and head nod" movement it would've counted


what a stop by Crawford wow

 

[Stuggernaut]

wow Crawford

 

[CreeperBlocks]

I'm gonna go to bed.
