It’s absolutely ludicrous how often these go against the Rangers

IN MY OPINION: Cuylle and Stone rotated their skate, but Mangiapane propelled his skate forward. If I’m Toronto, I’m waving off the Calgary goal, not the damn New York goal.

I’m an oilers fan, and this WAS a goal !!! There was no kick in…. end of story, bad call

Toronto hates us because of Dolan

When someone scores a goal like that in soccer it can be nominated for the Puskas (best goal of the year) award. Sooo for a hockey player to do that INTENTIONALLY.. on skates..
What a garbage call

I will forever hate this rule. A kicking motion in hockey is totally subjective. It seems that these rulings NEVER go our way.
amusing_a_musing
Orrrrr the league should review a variety of recent kick / no kick goals, establish a precedent, highlight what constitutes a kick vs a good goal, and send like 20 examples to all the teams. This way players / coaches/ officials will all be on the same page.
To me a distinct kicking motion means you need to propel your foot to “kick” the puck. Any angling of the skate should be good. Like we’re losing sight of the forest from the trees. The spirit of the rule is that players aren’t blatantly kicking the puck. If a replay doesn’t show a distinct kick then it’s a good goal. Period.
The aim of the league should be to increase scoring and minimize review time. The rule should be used to disallow clearly kicked goals, not to mince freeze frames or try to overthink what constitutes a kick. If a referee can’t identify a distinct kicking motion maybe they’re not suited for reffing

All kick in goals should be allowed

If I had a gun to my head I’d pick “the Canadian team that got scored on by a none Canadian team was the one overturned “ just a gut feeling.
Honestly I actually think they would of ruled it a goal if the rangers weren’t already up 3 to zero in third

Well thats a no brainer the one that’s against us lol they can’t let us get away with what everyone else’s getting away with. Gotta love those Zebras

That Mangiapane one still pisses me off

This was a steaming pile of horse diarrhea. Liquid bullshit. Spongy skunk stool. Fucking donkey shart of a call.

The rule is just too subjective to be called consistently. I’m happy getting rid of the rule entirely. Or, make it so that kicking is allowed as long as your skate doesn’t come off the ice afterwards so it’s based on an objective point of view rather than a subjective one. I’m sure every team has nightmare fuel of these calls going against them in both directions. It’s just a dumb rule and I’m not even sure why it exists.

I don’t think a review has ever gone our way. Especially not with a big lead. It’s comical.

It makes no sense lol. All I know is they ALWAYS go against us. Fuck the refs.
The2econdSpitter
I don’t want to be the guy complaining after a strong win where the overturned call didn’t have any affect on the game. But I mean, come on. I laughed because saying that Chytil kicked it in is giving him a little too much credit there. What an awful call.

I blame Joe Michiletti, he keeps saying it’s not a kick and it’s reviewed as a kicked in goal or if he says that clearly was a kick, then it’s ruled not a kick.
Joe gotta just stop talking or use reverse psychology in his analysis lol

That was total fucking bullshit. Situation room called and said we can’t let edmonton get embarrassed even more again and also it’s the fuckin rangers so fuck you button it is.

2014 cup final cones to mind.

Nice try! But I saw the highlights, can’t fool me!
I feel like these calls are always in a grey area because you have to distinguish what a redirection is without it being a kicking motion. Of course, side by side the first two are way more obvious kicking motions. It’s definitely a case of whoever is in the “war room” in Toronto when the refs call. The inconsistency is astounding

Give Cuylle the ballon d’or. I’m glad i can joke about this goal since it didn’t change the outcome of the game. Hopefully no one stays on this too long despite the inconsistency across the league with this rule

This is mind bottling.
Jimmy : Did you just say mind-bottling? Chazz : Yeah, mind-bottling. You know, when things are so crazy it gets your thoughts all trapped, like in a bottle?

It’s irrefutable that NHL refs are biased against the Rangers
