Two examples clearly stand out -- Gaudreau not getting an assist on Monahan's goal, and Bennett not getting an assist on Hamilton's. These are clear, obvious assists as defined by NHL rules, but no assists. Just terrible.

Uh, NHL, are you drunk?

Something strange is happening in the NHL's statistician's office.

Now, if they could fix Monahan's goal, which currently reads "Hamilton from Frolik and Monahan". Not one of those is correct.

The third goal is just inexcusable now. I mean, it's the friggin game-winner, too -- it should be Monahan's 22nd career game-winner. It should be Monahan from Hamilton and Gaudreau; instead, it says Hamilton -- unassisted.

IDK what the hell is happening tonight but hopefully it's fixed.

Edit: they've now renamed the video on NHL.com as "D. Hamilton pots long shot". WTF, NHL.

Yeah I understand. The Gaudreau snub makes me a little angry tho since the assist he should have would put him into a tie for 4th in NHL scoring.



Thing is, they just fixed the assists on Hamonic's goal and they also just re-named that video on NHL.com. There are clearly people working on this tonight and they've done it wrong, IMO.

The Monahan goal is just all bafflingly wrong.

Not that I'm mad about Hamilton or anything. I just think it's incredibly bush league for something this obvious to be so wrong.

Oh, yes, it obviously was tipped off of Monahan, and also assisted by Gaudreau. That's the issue, because it's been scored as "Hamilton -- unassisted".

Anyway, congrats to Dougie Hamilton on his career-high two-goal game. Two whole goals.

Absolutely, riveting -- coverage...
