ontheDB Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Anybody else consider this goal very similiar to the disallowed Daniel Sedin goal in the opening round series from two years' ago with LA ? Circumstances are very similiar: - player's stick is out of play - player glides foot into a stopping motion - player seem aware of where puck is and what they are doing The video of the two plays seem very similiar but the analysis below says that Callahan's was a 'deflection' and therefore a good goal, while Sedin's had a "non-distinct" but a visible kicking motion and therefore not a 'deflection' Anyone else's thoughts?

ripsh0w Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 They are similar, and I see where your coming from on this one. This is just another example of the inconsistency of the NHL officiating and war room. Given this is a couple years difference.... but yea, imo both goals should have counted.

Jägermeister Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Pretty sure the guys in Toronto just flip a coin when it comes to possible kick-ins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanuckInUS Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 All pucks that are scored off a player's skate/leg should be disallowed. This is hockey, not soccer. Use your stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
