Kicking motion

[CASe333]

If I was a reporter my number one question is who made that call? Was it a committee?

[Draug]

I watched 94 Flames games this season. 100's of other games. And that goal counts 10/10 times. As others have shown, many have counted all year that had way more of kick.

The inconsistencies are a complete farce. For the first time ever, I need to take some time and evaluate whether or not this sort of BS is what I want to spend $20,000+ on each year. It's a joke. I don't think it's worth my money, my time, or my emotional investment.

The Flames didn't lose the series on that call, but it almost certainly cost them the game.

The thing for me is this

What direction is the puck going before Coleman’s skate makes contact? It’s rolling in
What happens if Coleman doesn’t touch it? It rolls in
Is there an Oiler in any position to stop that puck going in? Nope

You have two feet, only one of which is on the ground. Can you kick with that foot? Lol

Brutal

That should have been a good goal but the rules don’t matter at all to this mickey mouse league. Time and time again the rules are bent to fit the result the league wants. I’m over it. Best sport, worst league.

It's one thing, maybe,maybe, if Coleman changes his path and direction to get his leg and foot in a position to deflect it in (but it is still not a kicking motion) But at the speed he was going, and pushed from behind, he's stopping so as not to go chest first into the cross bar...and puck leaked through Smith (again -;we would see leaky goals or straight out meltdown goals in game 6 and 7) and hit his skate as it was already going to go in.

At least Coleman called it out in his interview. I thought Sutter alluded to it too

Yup all series the Refs were biased towards the Oilers. So I'm not surprised at all with them disallowing a goal. I'm going to laugh when the Avalanche (or St.Louis) feel the wrath of McDavid + Refs.

The fix was in and we got absolutely screwed.

There had better be a formal protest.

We win that game and who knows what would have happened.

The NHL can #### off. I’m done with it.

The Flames and the League deserve a review/explanation of this. Teams should also be given the right to play but in protest like the MLB.

This dogsh*t league can go f*** itself.

[Caged Great]

I've been a season ticket holder since 04 and if I hadn't already paid for next season, I might have walked away. Next season might be my last.

[Radio]

The league wants Connor in the finals. Completely screwed us.

The goal would count if you had more fans and if the gamblers generated more money.

The literal ONLY THING the NHL cares about is money. Literally nothing else. Not even the game.

Once you learn that it makes sense.

An explanation doesn’t matter.

League is fixed.

Was in utter shock when that goal was disallowed, especially considering some of the goals that have been allowed this season. Just another inclusion to the league's revolving door of justice/reviews. I mean if this goal wasn't good, then every skate goal theoretically shouldn't count based on precedent.

But of course this happens to the Flames though. Not sure what this franchise has done to constantly be stepped on by the league in critical playoff moments, but the feeling of "they're out to get us" isn't as farfetched compared to other franchises.

This call definitely pisses me off, but the screw job for a lack of a better word really started at the beginning of the playoffs. The league's directive to call penalties like the regular season changed the style of play completely for the Flames and the Oilers. This team was built to be mean and heavy, but with the way the game was being called, the tight checking style just lead to more and more penalties, 4 on 4 time and in the end, favored the Oiler's skill/speed game instead.

It just wasn't meant to be for the Flames. They were up against all odds. My hope is for the NHL to get absolutely crushed tomorrow just for pure revenge purposes. They deserve every bit of criticism that comes their way and then some.

This is the one angle that made me figure they were going to overturn the goal:

Still, it's not as blatant as several of the other examples posted that were allowed. So I don't get it.

The one against the Jets in the play-ins still baffles me when I see it. How do you allow that but not this? And in an elimination game.

Yeah, and the order of events matters to.

Goal on the ice, then reviewed and overturned from the smallest forward nudge? Compared to the other goals linked that were allowed and showed more forward movement...?

Just baffling.
