I'm just going to leave this here. The rule is still the same, the NHL brass is still the same, yet the calls go one way against the Canucks and the exact opposite when it would be in the Canucks favor

 

NHL: you make the rules and we will break em! yea!

 

what if you make the rules?

 

NHL: we'll change the rules!

Ok after seeing 4 threads discussing this, what is a kicking motion?

It seems to be the sticking point here... 

No, no... 'Distinct' kicking motion. It's a sticking point throughout the league. It really comes down to a matter of opinion on any given play.

This thread is pathetic. He didn’t kick the puck, he angled his skate so he could steer it. That’s allowed. He did angle it with a motion happening quite close to the moment the puck hit the skate, so definitely a close call that could go both ways. But conspiracy? That’s ridiculous. 

 

Exact same play as Sbisa's and Burrows in LA which were BOTH NO GOALS! You tell me the difference between these plays, I am dying to hear your explanation. :lol:

Our franchise has a beloved 20 foot cast bronze statue outside our arena, eternally celebrating a moment in time that was based 100% in mocking of the NHL Referee's Union.

 

Think this might have something to do with it?

If it does have something to do with it, then the referees need to grow up. Their very job requires them to be an impartial governing body ensuring that both teams competing follow the established rules of the game. If a statue alters the way they do their job, they shouldn't do the job. Simple as that.

 

The referees are abject failures league wide. They blow calls (and badly at that) nearly every night that the league's in action. By any measure, they're just not very good at what they do.

"Angling" the puck with a skate and kicking it in both constitute a player using their skate to direct a puck into a net.

 

That's like me saying I didn't punch a guy, I merely walked briskly in his direction with my fist raised and he just happened to be in the way of my fist's trajectory.

Kicked in but NHL has been known to f*ck up calls, not just for the Canucks but for almost every team.

 

I almost feel like NHL should change the rules and allow kicking the puck in at this point. You should be able to use any part of the body except for your hand hand/arm.

Safety issues with kicking at pucks in the crease?  The easy fix, and safest, is to disallow any goal off a skate.

From one angle it looks like Pettersson's skate kicks it.

 

The puck accelerates AFTER it hits his skate under Markstrom, after contact it goes up and then under Markstrom.

BUT

He did move his leg about 2 inches in the direction of goal.

 

Players are allowed to turn their skates to angle a puck.

I don't know, you don't want to see players deliberately kicking at open pucks in front of the net if they become legal.

The current rule is fine. The consistency in the enforcing of the rule is what needs work.

Including things like completely inadvertent deflections that merely graze off of a player's skate from a point shot?

Was there a "distinct punching motion"?

Even the video sent out to explain the rule has panellist scratching their head.

I'm still think that if all the goals shown in the videos (in particular the Sedin goal) are no goals, then last nights one should also have been called a no goal.

Doesnt the league usually issue a statement of 'fact' on why it was called the way it was? I'd be curious on this one. 

Here is the league's explanation of the review:

 

Quote

At 3:26 of the third period in the Canucks/Islanders game, the Situation Room initiated a video review to further examine a play at the Vancouver net. Video review confirmed the referee's call on the ice that the puck deflected off Tom Kuhnhackl's skate and entered the Vancouver net in a legal fashion.

 

According to Rule 49.2, "A puck that deflects into the net off an attacking player's skate who does not use a distinct kicking motion is a legitimate goal." Good goal New York.

Until they explain how Mike Murphy can turn "twisting his toe" into "distinct kicking motion", all explanations are worthless

that Murphy explanation should be brassed and mounted beside the statue of Roger

 

maybe just put a speaker inside the Roger statue

activated by a "distinct kicking motion" sensor, of course
