Watch as the Colorado Avalanche are denied a tying goal because captain Gabriel Landeskog had not left the ice before the Avs entered the San Jose Sharks zone.

Today's hockey is the only sport where a game is decided by a lucky break. All teams are equal in the Playoffs, so it's a matter of who gets that good break in a game. Who hits a goalie in the collarbone with a slapshot causing him to go down, making the rebound an easy tap-in, who gets an easy tap-in because the puck hits the referees skate right to an attacking player, challenges, power play on a bad penalty, lucky bounce, etc. Many of the games now are one goal games; and that one extra goal is determined by circumstance more than anything else.
Case in point: If you have rematches of every series played so far, it'd result in a different outcome every time.
This has got to be on Steve's Dang-its
that was a funny play. he was over there just absolutely hangin out, enjoying the game. someone should have given him a handful of popcorn
Lol y'all should be more upset on that blatant high sticking on rantanen and clear as hell tripping on mackinnon. Now that was fishy as hell.
the nhl officials are full of sharks fans
In soccer that would have counted!!!!
Absolute bull. I understand if he was still in play, regardless if he had anything to do with the goal. But the guy might as well count as not in play. I don’t blame it entirely on the refs as I see what they’re saying, but I do blame it on the rule book. Had that goal gone through, we might be talking about Blues and the Aves.
The fault is with those who don’t wanna open the door for him.
To the people that keep complaining about the refs:
It’s people like you that ruin the game of hockey and make it frustrating for the real fans out there. Y’alls vision is so one sided that you fail to see the game as a hockey fan instead of a biased fan. Try eating crow for once and realize it’s not the teams fault for how a game is called and maybe teach your player how to jump over the board when you have short change.
Landeskog was not even involved in the play at hand. Back turned toward the center of the rink. But I guess that doesn't matter. This was a goal. Bad officiating happens alot.
Landeskog is lazy AF. get the fvck off the ice sooner and maybe the goal would of counted..
As a fan this is horrible costed a team nhl chance of a Stanley cup . Benches need to be moved out of the offence zone. It’s the sharks arena that costed Colorado
Sorry, but if you screenshot where the puck is on the blue line you can see that his toe is clearly on the blue line. He is onsides.
Next time the coach will tell them change the line between the 2 blues lines. Cant believe this is happened on game 7, coach need more talking to his players.
As much as I hate the avalanche how could the refs deem that his skate wasn’t touching the blue line from the view they had🤦🏻♂️
Too many men on ice should have been 2 mins. Which would also be no goal….
Toronto wants a Sharks,Bruins final.It wouldn't be good for TV revenue if two bottom dwellers played for the cup.
San Jose gets out of a 1 goal game in game 7 thanks to a controversial, BS call…. AGAIN. Noticing a trend here
Yet another rule that needs to be changed if this league wants to grow its brand and ultimately its revenue – more goals – more action – less technicality
Nice leadership Landeskog lol… most overrated captain in the nhl
lol the ref thinks he's wes mccauley making that call
It's suppose to be inconclusive to be overturned…..wtf… NHL are sharks fans this year….
Sharks should have been eliminated long gone,….Long ago,…what are these cheaters still doing here,..???
No way they could see if he was offside. The camera was blurry as all get out.
NHL Rule 83.3 (i), “All players of the offending team clear the zone at the same instant (skate contact with the blue line) permitting the attacking players to re-enter the attacking zone…”. 1:54 puck enters zone, Landeskog skate appears partially on blue line (and as per the rules is cleared). Even if you argue that it's not perfectly clear his skate is touching the line, it doesn't matter. NHL Rule 78.7, "If a review is
not conclusive and/or there is any doubt whatsoever as to whether the call on the ice was correct, the original call on the ice will be confirmed". No one in their right mind would say that from the footage we can WITHOUT ANY DOUBT conclude he isn't touching blue. Accordingly call on ice should stand and it was a good goal, and terrible overturned call.
The answer is that this should have counted as a goal because the rule book says that if a player is within 5 feet of the bench (which Landeskog was) they are considered “off the ice”. This rule applies to “too many men” calls as well. The refs disallowed a goal because a player who technically wasn’t even on the ice was offside.
Who's here again, after the pod with MacKinnon?
Total bullshit call. Enough said.
The nhl wanted a team from California
(San José) to win because that’s where the moneys made. The refs calls were very biased and Sharks should’ve been out in first round, yet they get to the conf finals because of terrible calls. Similar to what happened with the Ducks in 2017. Also the benches should be across the ice from each other
That's a dang-it
McKinnon talks on the chicklets podcast and says the door was sticky… seems like the sharks cheated
Now they change the rule lol
Doubt anyone knows this but what would happen if: ?
Team A: Pulls goalie in final minute for an extra attacker and proceeds to enter the offensive zone on a missed offside.As play continues in this same zone Team B collects the puck and fires it down the ice for the empty netter.
Can Team A now challenge themselves on their own offside and have the goal disallowed and the clock reset?
I believe in all fairness this should be the case.Otherwise you have a situation where only one team is allowed to score due to an error by the linesman.This should never be the case.
I’m not clear on this however my hunch is you cannot challenge your own offside.
Anyone have an answer?
Not like it can be changed now, but his skate was on the blue line.
Chiclets bump incoming
This was an awful call….
Doesn’t matter when the puck crosses, matters when Mackinnon crosses, just like any dump in needs everyone to touch up, Landeskog was off when mackinnon crossed, good goal. Not that it matters 2 years later
Chiclets?
why dont they put a door so they can get off
At least we’re in the finals now.
Technically correct but terrible call. The goal should have counted.
