King Knut Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 (edited) I hate the rule as it is written, and the ruling in TO had to be because those guys agreed with me on this night... because there is no way that qualifies as a distinct kicking motion.I've seen SOOO much worse be allowed.Overall I'm torn because I don't think that should be a goal, but I'm also ticked because I've seen the same thing count as a goal for at least 8 or 9 other teams in the past few years.Mainly because I just hate the devils so damn much, and because the ref just watched and unobstructed view of Hartnell get boarded without raising an arm, I'll go ahead and whine about it because I'm sure I've seen them kick in worse goals that have stood. The problem here is the initial call on the ice I guess.Change the rule and this goes away. Edited April 19, 2013 by King Knut 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doom88 Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I'd like to see them go 'best call' based on what they see. Not conclusive, but if something likely happened in their (debatable at times) expertise, go with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polaris922 Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Looked like he kicked it to me on the replay but I agree Hartnell was boarded. My dislike for the man and his antics at times leaves me impartial to it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TedZep Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I thought it was fairly obvious. If he hadn't turned his skate, and he did, it may have gone in anyway.Missing Hartnell getting boarded was pretty egregious, that was as clear and open as it gets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
