That call looked right. The puck was not visible and impossible to tell it it was in until the goalie started getting up which was after the whistle. The puck then went in at that time. Not possible to tell if it was in before.
Playoffs no blood no penalty.. After all it's not Puck over glass.
including this season.
What TO was celebrating though was the puck arguably crossing the line under Bob’s pad on the initial part of the play, well before when Bob pushed it in. There‘s a replay that wasnt shown on the US broadcast that could’ve qualified as clear evidence of the puck crossing the line. Agree that TO shouldnt have been given a goal for Bob pushing it in. In the end, when you score 2 goals in each of 7 straight games and only win 2 of 11 in regulation, you’re probably not the team that should be advancing.
You know who isn't taking any heat in this conversation that 100% should be? Freaking Tavaras and Reilly. They NEVER saw that puck cross the line before they started throwing their arms in the air. They were absolutely trying to game the officials into calling it a goal on the ice so it would be harder to overturn. There's a reason Reilly covered his mouth during discussions with his teammates ... he KNEW that thing wasn't a goal.
Yeah, predictable, tired and stupid. And mostly online, although this nonsense does leak over into the pool of people who work in media, all of whom ought to know better. Whatever. I don't want to live in Vegas or Seattle or anyplace else the gatekeepers of hockey consider appropriate, so ... those morons can just keep banging that drum all they want.
Why do you hate it? Last time I checked every team has a chance at the Cup with a playoff berth, that’s what makes it great, I couldn’t give two shits about what ESPN thinks of it or because Uncle Gary didn’t get a woody over a Rangers-Kings Final. The tired narratives of it has to be a mainstream market for it to be great is just BS.
I heard Habsy was going to provide a reference for Bergevin!!!
If Dubas isn't renewed I could see Toronto going for Tulsky
I must have been stoned.I heard Habsy was going to provide a reference for Bergevin!!!
And I could see him taking an interview before telling them no thanks. I honestly think Eric is WAY too smart for Toronto to be his first proper GM job. He'd take the interview though. He's one of those guys who thinks taking interviews is a good way to learn about other organizations' processes.
Tulksy has 90% of the GM's job here already and WAY more influence/interaction with the coaching staff than some GMs. The question is about his pay rate more than anything else, I think. If Dundon needed to re-shuffle the desktop name plate titles to keep this crew together, he'd do it in a hot minute and there's no way Donnie Waddell wouldn't be cool with going back to President. If Dundon has got to pay market rate for non-player staff ... that's the issue. I think he'd dig up the cash for Tulsky, but it's hard to be certain with him.
