Devils @ Leafs - Jan. 12th, 7:00pm - LeafsTV, SN 590

I was instructing my kid on the finer points of putting his toys away. Why did they disallow that goal?

 

[2badknees]

Wow, the refs pooched that one. All the more ammunition for a coach's challenge.

 

[L K]

And the Leafs get a penalty.  Screw off refs.

 

[bakeapples]

ROBBERY!

Just because.

JVR was in front of the net and jumped (with a little bit of movement toward the goal).  Schneider fell back in reaction to trying to make the save/cover the lower part of the net on the rebound and Bozak scored.  The ref behind the net disallowed the goal right away assuming JVR touched him.  Replay shows JVR nowhere near the goalie.

What was worse than the crease call was the penalty on Kadri. That was terrible as well. Moments after it looked like the NJ player was holding Rielly's stick. Horrible.

 

[Sudafederov]

That might be one of the worst calls of the year.

 

[LittleHockeyFan]

This league is f'd. Crease calls are a joke. When they should call it they don't and when theres nothing wrong they call that. BS.

 

[bustaheims]

But it's hard to argue that the PP could really be more successful than it's been.

Maybe not in terms of putting the puck in the net, but it could certainly be more effective in terms of being difficult minutes for the other team. They don't really make the other team skate much.

 

[Derk]

And instead of being up a goal, the Leafs end up giving up an odd man rush just as the penalty expires AND taking a penalty of their own. That missed call could turn this game completely on its ear.

 

[Chev-boyar-sky]

Only thing worse than a bullcrap disallowed goal against the Leafs? A disallowed goal against the Leafs when Phaneuf and Kessel would've had PP assists and they're on my fantasy team 

 

[Stickytape]

Home games are ruined for me. I can hear the horn from around the ACC (not sure if it's rom real sports or the arena itself) a good 5-10 seconds before I see goals on TV when I watch with my sling box.

I had a similar experience watching Game 6 last year in the square.  They were showing the CBC coverage on the screen, but through a window on the upper floors you could see coverage of the game on an enormous screen that had no tape-delay.  It was impossible to ignore at times.

Funny, both were good descriptions.

Bernier knocked down on the Devils PP by a Devils player...no call.

Much worse too.

 

[LittleHockeyFan]

awful lot of high sticking to the opponent's face going on tonight

Was the Devils player named James van Riemsdyk?  No?  Then it isn't a penalty.

Hey, I don't make the rules.

At least we got that high stick call on Raymond.

The lack of consistency is a joke. Watching NFL officiating is so much better. They're far from perfect, but they're fairly consistent.
