Randall Flagg Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 I don't know guys, I can't fathom a way in which that is a good goal when comparing it to all of the other kicking motion calls I've seen overturned. It was the right call. They need to be able to score more than a Gio-kick to win this game anyway. I've seen loads of kicks like that not count, even after bouncing off of defensemen in front. This isn't some weird new interpretation. That goal has never been allowed. I'd like anyone to point me to one example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 what makes things worse is that guhle could have had his first nhl point there :p I don't know guys, I can't fathom a way in which that is a good goal when comparing it to all of the other kicking motion calls I've seen overturned.

darksabre Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 It wasn't a distinct kicking motion. He had a Bruins player all over him, picked his foot up, turned it, and planted it in order to try to stop himself from crashing into the net. It wasn't a kick. It was a normal hockey motion.

PASabreFan Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 There it is. You can kick it in off any player's stick though, just not the goaltender's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwksndmonster Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 It was a kick. The kind of kick that happens a hundred times per game while somebody gains control of the puck. The fact that it deflected in makes it feel like it should count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that it deflected in makes it feel like it should count.That would defeat the purpose of the rule. They don't want people throwing their skates around near the net/goalie.

I *think* the league has gotten away from a literal kicking motion standard, despite what the rule book says. The word "propel" is important. If a player does something with his skate to add energy to the puck or intentionally direct the puck, that's trouble. Deflecting off a skate is fine. Passive vs. active deflection might be a way to put it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
