Here's the problem with the disallowed goal......the second Reilly pushed Bob the goalie's pad.........which he DID do.....the nullified any chance to goal would count unless it was CLEARLY across the line before he did that...........there was nothing conclusive to say the puck was in the net first..........then he (Reilly) as he was skating by after his first shot, pushed the pad.........can't do that..........would've been disallowed under any circumstances BECAUSE he pushed the pad.........the OT penalty, just that STUPID rule again.........it was Brodie's stick that hit it out of play while in the defensive zone.....and it cleared the Florida bench. Per the wording of that stupid rule, it was a penalty.........do I like that stupid rule. HELL NO.........what ever happened to referee discretion. Used to be that was only called if it was INTENTIONALLY done to alleviate the offensive pressure of the opposing team and the call was made entirely based on what the situation on the ice was at that time at the ref's discretion. But noooo, not after Buttmunch became the commissioner.......now we gotta take a game that wasn't broken, and "fix it" which really in many ways with some of the stupid rules that have been implemented, THAT one being the stupidest......broke the game that didn't need to be fixed in the first place.
This was well before any whistle or deemed stoppage of play
But it’s grainy and tough to see if the puck is all the way over the line. But play shouldn’t of been stopped. Anywho it’s over
There’s always next year right @Wave Runner
