Danielson highlight reel goal called off for offsides

23 comments

1. Sad

2. Technically correct, but a fucking shame because it did not in anyway change the end result.

3. Gross miscarriage of justice

4. The rule is so bad. You’re killing momentum and crowd engagement to see if someone got a half an inch head start, when you won’t review a high stick that cut a player if a ref didn’t see it.

5. Perfect title

6. Toronto should only get 2 minutes to review the challenge. If it’s not obvious in 2 minutes, it stands and matches the 2-minute penalty for the challenge failing. 

7. That stick lift gave me the tingles. That was pretty Datsyukian

8. The rule should be if the other team touches the puck first and you steal it the offsides is negated

9. Petition to make this his official first goal

10. Looked like McCarty in 97

11. Looked like McCarty swooping in there past Niinimaa and Hextall.

12. He should’ve gone George Brett

13. The old Darren McCarty

14. Man, I *hate* the offsides review.

15. Danielson is gonna be around for good.

16. They gotta modify the rule. If it in no way impacts the end result who cares.

17. I’m just gonna pretend this was his one goal and the deflection got waived off

18. I’ve been saying for a while I think Danielson has a higher ceiling than we’ve thought. There have been a couple moments where I got vibes of “fuck it I’ll do it myself” with him, this being the latest.

    I think this kid could be really special if he keeps developing like he has.

19. As a Kraken fan I didn’t like this ruling. If you’re looking at millimeters for 5 minutes what’s the point? Such a gorgeous goal, shame to take it away.

20. Crazy to expect players to realize this as they high speed skate. Took the refs about 5 minutes to come to a conclusion. I get while technically the right call was made but this is absolutely delusional thinking to expect a player to see this in real time. Furthermore the linesman called it good and then a ref called a good goal. What penalty do they receive for their actions? Again I realize it’s a technicality but Jesus.

    Also how the hell did Lane even know to call this? Crazy. Hope Danielson gets another soon because you could tell he wasn’t impressed that his first NHL goal was a ricochet off himself.

    Overall a great game to watch. Let’s go red wings!

21. I’m going to tell my kids this was his first goal

22. Technically correct by the current rules

    But offsides being reviewable is just horrible. It always feels bad no matter what team it happens to.

23. Thank you for this video.
