jammer2 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 NHL is looking into this one. Drew Doughty scored the winning goal with one second left, but time *should* have expired. Apparently the clock *froze* for a second, which gave Drew just enough time to pot the winner. Perhaps a misguided fan working the clock, perhaps the Kings knew nothing about it. Nonetheless, time the NHL looked into just who is working the clock and how they can be made accountable for their actions. This should be interesting....but regardless, the result cannot be over-turned. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=386722 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyercanuck Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Kinda like the cheating Pens not being able to find the angle that shows the puck go in until after the game is over and the call blown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackStraw Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 "Those clocks are sophisticated instruments that calculate time by measuring electrical charges called coulombs, explained Kings general manager Dean Lombardi in an email to TSN. "Given the rapidity and volume of electrons that move through the measuring device the calibrator must adjust at certain points which was the delay you see – the delay is just recalibrating for the clock moving too quickly during the 10 - 10ths of a second before the delay - this insures that the actual playing time during a period is exactly 20 minutes. That is not an opinion - that is science - amazing devise quite frankly."I would have bet anything that you would never have heard an NHL GM utter the word "coulombs".

JackStraw Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 @flyercanuck - so you think he said, "I sure got a few coulombs outta that!"Could be, could be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyercanuck Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I think he said," Scott Howson must have smoked some good coulombs to make that trade." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
