[OOT] December 29 with fourteen games!

[Rejean31]

So the NHL has ruled that Ratties shot didn’t go in but McDavid scored by scooping the puck in after the fact. Wasn’t play whistled when they thought Rat boy had scored?

[bc-chris]

turn on the tv... see the oil are down 2-1, laugh, say "stupid oilers!" and then change the channel!


thank you cp for my healthy hate of the oilers

Gotta manufacture oiler goals to keep them from the #1 pick I guess.

Which doesnt make sense. Yes the play was whistled soon as the goal light was on from ratties shot lol.

That is just nonsense. The official signalled a goal when it went behind Jones, and McDavid shovelled it in a good second later. I don't have a problem with this if the referee had waited until after McDavid's shot to indicate the goal. In the space of time between his signal and then, the play should be dead.

But but but... the Oilers have it tougher than anybody!

[mrdonkey]

If it was anyone but the Golden Boy it would have been ruled no goal. But you gotta get him his points.

Stuff like this truly makes me think this league is fixed. There really is no consistency at all.

[Enoch Root]

On NHL.com, the goal scorer is McDavid. That is bizarre because the ref clearly called the play long before McDavid knocked it in.

[getbak]

Here's the Carolina no goal...



I don't have a problem with the call. Williams is solidly in the crease for a long time before the goal. The rule book doesn't require there to be contact with the goalie in that situation (even though there is some contact anyway), the player's position prevents the goalie from moving freely within his crease.

Rule 69 – Interference on the Goalkeeper

69.1 Interference on the Goalkeeper - This rule is based on the premise that an attacking player’s position, whether inside or outside the crease, should not, by itself, determine whether a goal should be allowed or disallowed. In other words, goals scored while attacking players are standing in the crease may, in appropriate circumstances be allowed. Goals should be disallowed only if: (1) an attacking player, either by his positioning or by contact, impairs the goalkeeper’s ability to move freely within his crease or defend his goal; or (2) an attacking player initiates intentional or deliberate contact with a goalkeeper, inside or outside of his goal crease. Incidental contact with a goalkeeper will be permitted, and resulting goals allowed, when such contact is initiated outside of the goal crease, provided the attacking player has made a reasonable effort to avoid such contact. The rule will be enforced exclusively in accordance with the on-ice judgement of the Referee(s), but may be subject to a Coach’s Challenge (see Rule 78.7).

For purposes of this rule, “contact,” whether incidental or otherwise, shall mean any contact that is made between or among a goalkeeper and attacking player(s), whether by means of a stick or any part of the body.

The overriding rationale of this rule is that a goalkeeper should have the ability to move freely within his goal crease without being hindered by the actions of an attacking player. If an attacking player enters the goal crease and, by his actions, impairs the goalkeeper’s ability to defend his goal, and a goal is scored, the goal will be disallowed.

Of course, on the Oiler broadcast they are not showing the Oiler goal during the intermission. Probably worried that someone would call “shenanigans” on it as the play was dead before Mcfavoredbytheleague ever put it in the net.

They did show it after the first commercial break following the goal.

[chummer]

Oiler's goaltending woes continue. Shame.

[Dan02]

Sharks look like they've been on the PP all period. E=NG

[Firebot]

Butter soft McDavid pushes off for an easy Couture goal, and another -1, that's a shame. Might lower his first star rating to a seecond star.

[Hockey-and_stuff]

McDavid loses a board battle then lets Couture loose in front of the net for a goal that Talbot absolutely should have had.

Lol Oilers.

He scored a goal. That's first star guaranteed.

[Textcritic]

The Oilers are terrible.

[Dan02]

Oilers getting worked like a beer league team. Lucky to only be down 2

[Bunk]

Tuned in for a couple minutes to watch the Oilers in which time they did not leave their own zone. No good.
