Crazy lucky NHL goal

[victor2111]

TH1 you see this? Red Wings game last night, Red Wings get a GOAL to tie the game with 32seconds left, but the goal shouldn't have counted.




Once the puck hits the net, should be out of play. The puck clearly hits the net, flies in the air, comes back down OFF the goalie, and INTO the net!

According to NHL rule, if a referee doesn't rule the puck out of play, it is still in play. So it could not be REVIEWED and OVERTURNED.

That goal tied the game late in the game, send it to OT, then went to a SO, and Red wings won.

That is insane.

Yeah it was, what is even more insane is the stupid rule where you can not review it.

Missed that. I rarely watch Dip Ding Hockey. If i do its muted and I listen to the opposing teams radio feed. Just cant stand Mickey Redman. Respect everything he has done in/for Hockey, shook his hand and chatted for a few once but just cant stand when he announces games... Rant Over....

Crazy goal but not the first time I have seen it. First time i have seen it go so clearly into the net and come back down. Like ya said Vic and your 100% correct should not have been a goal, its non review able and should be ! Hockey has the best replay set up bar none. I would bet a rule change is in the mix after that.

that's a travesty to the sport...can you imagine if that won a team a stanley cup, mockery.

If Zetterberg had called this shot in advance, it should still count and they should get 2 pts for degree of difficulty.

Exactly why this morning the powers to be are reviewing this issue. Expect a rule change soon. Hopefully before the playoff scenarios start. OOOOPS to late. The redwings and Kings are right there fighting for the final playoff spot in their respective conference's. That play could effect who gets in. An 8th seed team can and has won the cup. Interesting, AKA The Kings.

The NHL has a great review process. Its a situation room in Toronto Canada, Home of the NHL Hall of Fame. The Ref's have the option based on the situation and rules of course to call and get confirmation on the play. Video shows that process on 1 issue.

I hope it never gets to the point that the Ref's on the ground have the decisions to review or not taken away. Most close plays are reviewed and since the NHL has 2 Refs on the ice for every game its decision by 2 person committee. I think taking that away from them would water down the game. (Pick a sport). The league does review and critic their refs, again pick a sport. Based on their performance and cohesiveness to the rules at hand. A bad call can cost ya money/games.

It was kinda like the Bowman play in the 49ers game.

What if Settle scores a TD there and that is the difference in the game? I mean we now know the outcomes didn't change it but that could have been a huge WHAT IF.


I expect both the NHL and NFL to have rule changes over those plays.

LOL, only 2 ?

Shot from the blue line, ricochet off the wingers stick, banked off the net behind the goal 25 feet in the air then bank it off the goalies back,,, nothing but net. Thats a 5 but since it was the dip dings it should be reviewed, taken away along with the points they got for winning the game.

Reminds me of this commercial....

100 % agree L Vic. IMO At those points the league should have the right to intervene. The only issue I can see if they get that right is where does it stop ? that play, pick the current issue could have happened earlier in the game and still effected the outcome. Imagine the league only stepping in late when the earlier play has as much impact ? Would have to be an all or nothing decision.
