Quite possibly the single worst call I’ve ever seen and this picture is worth a thousand words as to why. Who paid the refs tonight?

The fact that merzlikins had the audacity to nod his head after that

The worst fucking call i’ve ever seen, i don’t even want to watch the rest of this stupid fucking game. That shit just pissed me off, fuck these refs. These refs need to be investigated because it was clearly a goal.
Edit: I still watched the game, so glad we won. I was about to take a life

We should just spam tweet the NHL this pic

Imagine having a job you can botch then have a technology to reverse your botch and still botch it. Must be awesome to never be reprimanded for failing at your job lol

They were about to call it a good goal and then remember they can’t make any rulings in favor of the Rangers.
TheImperfectMan
Fuck the Rangers bias is out there and obvious tonight
UpmostGenius
People saying the rule is intention to blow the whistle. That puck was in from the second it hit off Elvis. So any puck that hits the goalie can just be blown dead because the ref thought it should be dead. Some language needs to be changed in the rule book, it’s not right

Sports gambling should have never been openly left to the states to legalize. It’s just too easy now.

NHL refereeing is a fucking problem
danglejoose
it’s not even close to the line. his pad didn’t move that much. I don’t get it

That should 100% be a goal for any team in the league. Absolutely ridiculous. They won’t be held accountable or have to answer for anything.

Can we take this down, i came close to throwing a remote through my tv once already.

Went back at watched the CBJ broadcast for “fun” and they went almost the whole review without showing this angle. Also that Lavi “probably only had the angle they showed on the jumbotron on his ipad so” — oh yeah you mean the angle where you see it over the blue line?
Alas, as soon as it went to review … knew how this was gonna end.

Fuck the corrupt-ass NHL.

You can see it fall behind his skate, in a place that could not physically be on or above the goal line, in the 2nd, low angle they were looking at in the replay cycles. This is truly a fucking mind boggling call.

Wings fan who saw this on r/all via r/nhl.

The rule of thumb is the war room has to see white ice between the puck and the goal line or it’s not definitive thus NO GOAL.
​
Or as we in the stands know…. fucking bullshit because the puck is obviously in and anyone with a brain knows this. Rangers got fucked on this one.

This was the worst what the absolute fuck. This entire game has been one of the worst officiated games I’ve seen, but that was a crime. These refs should be fired.

I don’t normally get on the refs, but this was embarrassing.

Outrageous.

Wtf were they looking at!?!?!?

Let’s chip in and give all the zebras a ticket on the next Titan submersible trip.

Definitive proof, what the hell are they doin?

Puck don’t lie everyone!!!

Didn’t there used to be cameras inside the net? If there was one, it would have been definitive.

Reason #25097469824 why refs must be subject to postgame press conferences to explain themselves.

Gotta be the worst call I’ve ever seen, or definitely up there. The longer they took, I knew they were gonna fuck it up. Screw them, got the two points!

Puck don’t lie won despite this horse shit
creepingdeath172
I was at the game tn, absolutely ridiculous but also we won so fuck the stripes
KathyKazza
This is what we call shitting the bed and rolling in it.
ScreenTricky4257
That was the worst officiating I’ve seen at MSG, and I was at Wrestlemania X.
tven85
If it was called goal on ice it wouldn’t have been over turned, glad they got the w anyway
RemoteConsideration
I actually feel like the Rangers are getting screwed on calls. I’m obviously biased but wtf! The trouba penalty was lame, defended himself for making a legal hit, the goal call was shocking, and in other games too! The Cuylle “kicked” goal a couple games ago was the least kicked deflection ever…
QuickRelease10
That felt like they took all that time looking for an excuse not to call it a goal.
