It’s still clear as mud as to why the Wild’s OT goal counted

Might as well just say “The refs felt like going home, so called it good and left.”
The last sentence there really makes the refs and office look dumb
I can’t believe the NHL is doubling down on this stupid call
Fuck Toronto…that is all
and that doesn’t make any sense the shot made before the net was displaced was clearly not going in?
So first of all, he definitely didn’t do that on purpose. You can see the goal post has absolutely ZERO elevation when it comes off. It just slides off the hole.
And second of all, the first shot wasn’t even a shot, it was a pass. The second shot hit the side of the net, and the third shot only rebounded back in front of the net because the net was angled that way.
Everything in this explanation does the exact opposite of what it’s trying to do
I have to say I absolutely loved what Stammer had to say in the post game interview. He explained exactly what happened and said the call was bullshit. This game definitely gained him a lot of good will and I just want to see him succeed because he seems like a great guy
I know it looks like it shouldn’t count but the NHL rule book has no provision for the insanely niche scenario of a puck bouncing back to a player off of a dislodged net when the puck would not have otherwise bounced back to him. Couple that with the ref’s judgement of it being an imminent scoring chance and there is no way to overturn the call. Not to mention that it was Toronto that agreed it counts
Exit: Also, the rule book does not care if the net was knocked off on purpose or accidentally
I’d like to see the overhead angle to determine if it was actually gonna go in or not.
I read this rule as “imminent scoring opportunity” meaning continuation of play. The continuation of play happens, puck goes way wide, hits the net, rebounds in a way it normally wouldn’t have, and then gets sent in. The rebound was a secondary opportunity, not an imminent one.
This whole thing is hilarious and so on brand for the preds though, you have to laugh.
hand a penalty but to count that as a “goal” is weird lol….even with the net on, the Wild player missed the goal anyway. Im neither a Preds or Wilds fan, so I’m trying to be unbiased, but I honestly think the goal should not have counted, I say a penalty is fair and it’s not like it was a deliberate goal post removal like the David Leggio case
If all it takes is an “imminent scoring opportunity” then wouldn’t any time a goalie hits the post too hard just automatically be a goal?
The net only comes off while you’re on defense, meaning the other team is on offense, meaning they’re actively in a scoring opportunity.
Seems like an overly vague and poorly written rule
lol this actually explains nothing. If they wanted to give a real explanation they would define what an “imminent scoring opportunity” is why Johansson gets an extra whack at it with the goalie out of position because the mooring failed
Everyone looked ready to jump the refs, hoping it’ll light a fire under their asses and they go wild (ha) next game. Such a fucking amazing game on both sides and we were robbed of what could’ve been an electric ending
