BTW, I just re-watched the disputed goal (since I only watched the third period lastnight) and that SOOOOOOOOOOOO was a goal. Good overturn. I actually am shocked that they called that no goal on the ice.

 

I agree it was a good goal.... BUT it should NOT have been a goal.

 

it was called NO GOAL on the ice. Smyth DID make a kicking motion putting the puck in the net... there was NO conclusive evidence that he didn't. it's a subjective matter on what a "kicking motion" is and it needs to be ratified by the NHL. He did make a "kicking motion" but he didn't raise his skate above the ice.

 

If the initial call on ice was GOOD GOAL I wouldn't have argued it... but the fact is was called no goal, it should have stayed that way.

 

Does the NHL have the indisputable visual evidence rule? Or can they just call it how they see it on review?

I really didn't see a kicking motion from Smyth.

 

Well his foot came forward as if he were "kicking it", like I said I agree the goal was a good goal... but the NHL needs to define what a "kicking motion" is.

I don't understand why you wouldn't argue if they called good goal on the ice.

 

I guess we just saw it differently. IMO there was 0% kick. Not even 5%, it was in my mind absolutely not a kick. His foot came forward because it was attached to his leg, which was attached to his body, which was going towards the net. He was on his inside edge actually snowplowing stopping to slow down when the puck hit his leg and his foot and bounced it. Its impossible to kick from that position.

 

And frankly, its hard to define a kick, but you know one when you see one. I have no problem leaving it up to the refs/Toronto to make the call, its usually quite obvious upon slow motion replay.

They called NO GOAL on the ice. But whatever, it was a legit goal that shouldn't have been waved off in the first place... this argument could go on for days ;)

Thats what I was asking about.

[Cynosure]

I have a serious feeling the Hawks are gonna have an offensive outburst tonight.

 

6-2 Hawks.

 

2 from kane and steeger

[UMFan83]

I just realized the Hawks are playing in a morgue of a city tonight after the Titans loss

Hawks are looking awful, IMO. They need to pick it up.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Man, Eager just had a net so wide open it shocked him into missing it :(

[Cynosure]

Anyone but Eager on that last drive and its 1-1. Hawks have been outplayed severely but showed some signs of getting their "hockey legs" the last couple minutes.

 

I knew this time was coming for us... we had a magical run, but now karma is catching up with us. It seems like we just can't buy a break!

[Cynosure]

Burish wants to kill, I LOVE IT!

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Wow, one of the worst penalties I've ever seen (not the call, the actual commison of the penalty).

 

Versteeg should really, really think hard during this 2 minutes.

Versteeg better be benched for the rest of the game. That's 2 STUPID penalties this period... he better keep that bench nice and warm.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Well, at least this time we deserve to be losing.

[UMFan83]

Team was bound to slump at some point, especially on a roadtrip

[Cynosure]

PREDATORS GOAL

 

2 - 16:46 (PP) - Weber scores (13), assisted by Dumont (26) and Suter (18).

 

Predators lead 2-0.

[Cynosure]

Sweet Jesus was that ugly.... What is with these HOF goalies possessing every bad goalie we play?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Still time to steal one we don't deserve, now only down 1!

[Cynosure]

HAWKS GOAL

 

3 - 6:11 - Burish scores (2), assisted by Wisniewski (6) and Eager (2).

 

Predators lead 2-1.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

never mind

[Cynosure]

3 - 12:03 - Bonk scores (3), assisted by Ward (7) and Suter (19).

 

Predators lead 3-1.

[Cynosure]

No boarding on Toews? UNBELIEVABLE.

So outside of the game I went to I have been able to see four games in the last month or so. The two games vs Detroit, the last game vs Colorado and this one.
