Finally play a decent first and the goaltending isn't there.

 

[Slurmer]

This is a bit doubtful, and I don't know if we're allowed to ask, but does anyone out of the US and Canada have a link to a stream? If it's not allowed, I'll edit my post

Nobody reads this thread. You're good

I get no link though. Bishop was in the last page of the thread.

I don't understand the Kovalchuck hate. It was Lamoriello (with pressure from ownership) along with Kovalchuk's agent that structured the contract. Kovalchuk just signed it, just like Richards, Luongo, Hossa, Alfredsson, Pronger, and other guys with borderline-illegal contracts did. Do you guys hate them too?

I'm surprised at the Kovalchuk hate, he's pretty awesome if only for this:

Did Cherry just take a stealth jab at Pierre McGuire?! :lol

Pretty goddamn meta right now if so.

Explain please brah for us americans.

 

[BigJonsson]

Screw the NHL, I'm watching the AHL

 

[MetatronM]

CALLY!

Keep that train rolling!



EDIT: If this is called a distinct kicking motion but the one in the earlier series wasn't, I swear...

Woo! Goal!

 

[~Kinggi~]

Oh wow im gettin excited now

 

[Judderman]

Good thing to see as soon as I change to the game! Alright let's keep it going!

 

[vatstep]

Haha, god, fuck you Devils. Rangers are winning this game and the Cup.

 

[Smiley90]

This is getting interesting.

 

[Socreges]

That'll be called back.

[edit] Hah, bizarre

 

[~Kinggi~]

oh shits

 

[yankeeforever2]

If they call that kicking motion I will throw something!

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Kicking motion Toronto please Im begging.

 

[Judderman]

Whew.

 

[~Kinggi~]

Whew.

yessir

 

[vatstep]

Uncle Gary will not be denied NY vs LA

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Hully kicked less than that before.

 

[sefskillz]

pretty blatant kicking motion there. 3-2 game is better for the league tho

 

[Future Foundation]

CALLAHAN!!!

 

[MetatronM]

I'm so upset I'm not at this game now.

 

[Hunter S.]

Wow, turned game off half hour ago. *Turning back on* GAF is good for something!!! *Thumbs up*

 

[Smiley90]

How you guys are seeing a DISTINCT kicking motion there escapes me, esp. when the call on the ice was good goal.

 

[~Kinggi~]

Conspiracy theorists bitch and moan whenever calls go the Rangers way and then are silent when they dont.

go figure.

From the camera angle behind the play showed a distinct kicking motion.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Devils up 3, allow comeback... Where have I seen this before,

 

[~Kinggi~]

It wasnt a kick, he repositioned his foot in a consistent motion to direct, which is okay.

 

[BigJonsson]

holy shit

 

[Smiley90]

How did that not go in?!?

EDIT: Jesus Christ, that was the most ridiculous angle ever, I'm surprised he even got it past the FIRST post. Impressive/so goddamn close wow.

And yeah, I thought it looked like he just took his left leg forward, not necessarily distinct kicking. Definitely not distinctive enough to overrule the good-goal call.

 

[MetatronM]

You've gotta be shitting me. Cally so so close, jesus.

 

[Quick]

Explain please brah for us americans.

I tuned in to see that he was on the tail end of a rant. He was showing broadcasters between benches who got out of the way of coaches shouting at each other, then finishes with a clip of Torts and Debouer shouting with Healey getting out of the way and Pierre just standing there. He acknowledges Healey after.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

I know it looked like he moved his foot forward from that angle to me. I hate Tortorella and all east coast bias teams so i was probably hoping.

 

[sefskillz]

78.5 Disallowed Goals – 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.

*shrugs*

 

[MetatronM]

LOL Prust.

Right back to the box!

 

[Socreges]

News to me. Can you point to where it says this in the rules?

Who the fuck knows, but the commentators were stating it. Good goal was called though.

 

[sefskillz]

the only kicking motion i saw was the collective leg of the NYC media market as uncle gary's pursed lips brought them closer to climax

Spoiler

rule 78.5 section i) -> no goal. nhl owes NJ an apology

 

[brucewaynegretzky]

If the Rangers win this they win the series.... that's my prediction and I'm sticking to it.

 

[Socreges]

Who the fuck knows

If only there were some place, a website perhaps, where the NHL clearly laid out the rules of the game.

Only if they're going to apologize to the Rangers for counting a Devils goal that came directly after and because of a high stick to the face.

Ive seen plenty of goals off a skate this playoffs that were allowed, and like i said in the part you chose not to quote, both commentators literally said its okay if its off the skate and was directed, but not kicked.

So there is something "unofficial" going on with these rules.

 

[Future Foundation]

Better period.

 

[MetatronM]

Better period.

They've been playing great this whole game, just had some really weird shit go down in the first. Really really unlucky.

They can do this with the way they're playing...

I chose not to quote it because commentators are not all-knowing arbiters. They can be wrong.

 

[cube444]

These two teams both do not look impressive at all to me.

 

[MetatronM]

In this case it doesn't even matter about whether "directing" is legal or not. Callahan is obviously turning and stopping in order to avoid running headlong into the net, and that's what you have to do with your skates to make that quick turn. It doesn't even hit his skate, it hits him up high on the shin. It's an obviously good goal, which is why it was called as such.

*boggle* he's not coming from any angle that would have him going into the goal. he was skating across, parallel to the crease.
