  • Oh, you guys are going to chew my ass out for this one, but this WAS clearly a goal. If you watch, and pause this video at 0:49, you will see that the puck is behind the red line, clearly visible behind the stick blade. Now for those of you who can't see the puck, you are either blind, or a bias Detroit fan.

  • Mike Leggo didn't overturn the call, he just told Rob Martell to review it... Toronto called the goal!

  • dallas always gets this thing with refs. now with detroit and before with mic mcgui and oilers

  • somehow toronto and the refs always screw the refs

  • whats with ott having that spazam at 0:19 - 0:20

  • no goal not passed the line

  • i have nothing against the Toronto leafs but the league headquarters in Toronto can suck my D***. how the hell are they making calls when they are not even at the game.

  • haha nice subtitles

  • For the ref, it's hard to see the puck there. The post would be in the way, and if he was looking through the netting, then the goalie's blocker would be in the way. Whether or not you think it's a goal or not, they did a good job of going straight to review.

  • and mike leggo didnt make the call, the people from toronto on the phone make the call. retard.

  • i like how the only videos titled something like "refs screw over so and so wah wah" are all posted by wings fans. quit your bitchin!

  • This shit happens the most with north Californian teams

  • 4:20 he swears haha

  • @skangmox. Do you even know hockey. what debate I know more about hockey then you do. The PUCK HAS TO ENTIRELY CROSS THE LINE. I did not see in ANY VIDEO that the puck ENTIRELY crossed the line. I am a Dumb fuck, that's a lot coming from someone who gave the dumbest reason for the play resulting in a goal....Its a goal cause Dallas won. Look where the ref was when he waved it off, you could not be in more of a perfect position. YOU are a fucking dumbass

  • it was a goal because dallas won! The fact is dont put yourself in these positions. you can argue until your blue ...it was a goal

  • @skangmox That has to be one of the dumbest things I have ever heard. It was a goal because Dallas won. If it was the other way around and the Red Wings won would you say. It was not a goal because Dallas Lost. That makes no sense. That was a goal because the officials in Toronto made a mistake, the puck never crossed the line completely and if it did there was no conclusive video replay to over turn the On the Ice call by the referee

  • @jamschott as in dallas won the debate. look it up in all the record books and guess what....its a fuckin goal.doesnt matter who made the mistake or not it was fucking goal. PERIOD you dumb fuck

  • As much as I hate the wings style of play, no goal.

  • Me being a Pens fan, that was not completely over the line. 

  • Comment removed

  • Wow...that was a very bad call...no camera angle showed the puck going completly in...

  • 3:00 that's the first time I've seen Babcock smile

  • it isnt like football where it breaks the plane

    you need to have the puck 100% over the line

  • @JamaicanMan18 yep football is the only sport where it doesn't have to be completely over, in hockey and soccer the puck/ball must be completely passed the line for it to be a goal

  • its was over the line

  • Comment removed

  • Definitely a goal, anyone who isn't a Detroit fan can tell you that.

  • @NerfVagus As a referee of 11 years, that definitely is NOT a goal. The puck didn't clearly cross the goal line 100%, and the video evidence is inconclusive. The person who had the best view of what actually happened was Mike Leggo, and he made the call from being in good position. Clearly not a goal, and anyone who doesn't have their head up their own ass can tell you that.

  • @aonmedia813 As you said, you don't need to be a referee to know it's not a goal, all you need is half a brain cell and a pair of eyes and slight knowledge of the game of Hockey...

  • @NerfVagus hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahaha. wow. ur funny. man, if only the world didnt have morons like you, it would be a much better place. Im guessing your a wings hater who comes up with the dumbest things to say. Why dont you get off the internet before you embarrass yourself some more

  • I dunno why it took them so long and they still got it wrong. Everyone knows Steve Ott can't score, so it cleary was not a goal.

  • Haha Howard sucks. Detroit sucks. Stupid fucker totally missed the net on the last shot.

  • @BillSteer99 ur prolly a fag, right?? or a col fan??

  • Wings get screwed again. Bettman can't stand we are the best team in the NHL.

  • @LS1350Camaroz28

    LOL wow really. How many cups do the wings have in the last decade, how many consecutive playoff apperances do they have. Yeah your probably right, Bettman clearly its screwing the wings. Where do you get your theories.

  • At 5:47, there is a split second where you can see the puck is clearly across the line. If Howard cleared the puck cleanly, that's not a goal, but he missed it the first two times and when he finally cleared it, it was clearly across the goal line. I hate the Dallas Stars but the officials upstairs got the right call.

  • Dallas Sucks...

  • verifacation line solve's this problem

  • leggo didn't overturn, toronto did. but keep in mind, toronto has angles from both broadcasts. they might have another angle that we can't see

  • um mike leggo didnt turn over the call, toronto did... my opinion, the call was no goal and there was no video of the puck ever crossing the line, shouldve been no goal.

  • @SchweffyChaap

    Actually yes. It turns out the ref overturned the wash out call because he had a better angle and saw the puck cross the line. The washout was by a ref who lost sight of the puck. So when they contacted toronto for a review, the on ice call was considered goal. Toronto said they couldn't see the puck and didn't have conclusive evidence to overturn the play, so since the on ice call was goal, then they went with goal. Sucks they didn't explain this better till later.

  • @SchweffyChaap Well if it wasn't for Mike Leggo coming in afterwards, they wouldn't have gone to Toronto

  • Mike Babcock's face at 6:27 says "I'm not buying this."

  • I didnt see any conclusive evidence, the Wings get f**ked over by the refs every game, its Bull s**t

  • @CoreyPerrySucks are you trying to tell a joke? Detroit usually gets the ref's call all the time. You want conclusive evidence? Watch as Howard goes to clear the puck with his glove, as he goes to clear it, it's clearly over the line. I hate the Dallas Stars, but the people viewing the play got the right call.

  • LEGGO MY EGGO !

  • yep the reff was looking right there at his balls and it didnt compleetly cross the line no goal it has to completely cross the line.

  • Guys, Mike Leggo didn't screw this up, it was because of video ref... .

  • @jovanpreet100 You obviously haven't the first clue about goal line positioning for referees in hockey. If Martell was behind the net (as you claim he should have been), please tell me how he would have seen through the net, the posts and the goalie to know that the puck never crossed the line? He couldn't have been positioned more perfectly to make this call. Now, how the War Room in Toronto overturned this is the real question.

  • @GixxerPilot87 he just counter argued yourself, first you asked how it was possible for him to see it NOT going in, then said he was positioned pefectly. So was he positioned perfectly, or could he not see?

  • That was on the line it was no goal the ref is blind he should be at the back of the net they should have a camera like on NFL

  • maybe its toronto's fault. they should put a video screen in the box like the nfl

  • wonder pets in the background when toronto calls

  • you can see it didnt fully go in it was on the line bad call ref

  • The on ice officials in the league suck, but at the end of the day they don't really screw up terribly 100% of the time. I'm a Canes fan, but the opinions of fans really don't matter. Refs are going to do what they think was the right thing.

  • the reverse angle at around 5:40 shows it not go in

  • wow. once again screwed by the refs. you need conclusive evidence, but there was none to overturn.

  • @MrRodney1985

    I agree. You've got to see it over the line completely to call it a goal.

    I'm not a wings fan but I hate when this shit happens.

  • That wasn't a goal. end of story

  • Come on though, it's the Red Wings. They're good no matter what.

  • @SouthPawKingOC

    Apparently not from what we're seeing against the Sharks. Just sayin.

  • Great play by the ref on the ice! But the refs as a whole, and the guys on Toronto are idiots. No way that was a goal, and they screw over the Red Wings again...

  • Whta's the Song name at 5:15 ?

  • I'm sa Wings Fan! An That is a goal! But the Stars have the Refs in there pay roll when playing the Wings!

  • Is it so important to have 1 extra point!?!?!?!?!?!? Come on!

  • @SidTheKidPens87 Hell yeah it's important! It can be the difference between a seed in the playoffs, and maybe a home ice advantage in a series. I know you're a Pens fan, but come on!

  • @packers256 I don´t hate Wings.

  • @SidTheKidPens87 of course. it could be 1 point that decides who makes the playoffs

  • Gooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllll­lllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Thats a good goal dallas is awsome you guys are gay stop saying its not a goal...

  • Some will argue it's a goal, some will not but my question is, WHY PUT THE BLAME ON MIKE LEGGO? He is only one of the two officials on the ice and plus, this was carefully reviewed in Toronto as well. I know you're a Red Wing fan but please, don't put the blame on an official because of a call not to your favor.

  • its a goal clearly across the  line

  • Comment removed

  • how is that a goal...please tell me that is fucking gay, that was not across the line.

  • Very inconclusive. Call on the ice stands.

    That said, we don't know what the War Room could see with the angles they have. But it's definitely not Lego's fault here. Actually it's a bit of an insult to his refereeing ability.

  • has to cross the red line... sounds simple enough

  • the call goes to toronto u dumbasses.the refs have nothing to do with the final call.they are REPORTING what they are told.who knows what angle toronto saw, maybe they had another angle we didnt see.dumbfucks

  • the reffs doing his job, never lost his focus. good call originally.

  • its a goal....u can def see white surface where the puck stands...GET OVER IT!

  • Looks like it was on the line to me.

  • I'm a die hard Red Wings but the replay looks like its a goal but its hard to disagree with the ref RIGHT there.

  • It wasn't the refs call. Once it goes to Toronto, it's the War Room's call.

  • @MrTwonton The ref beside the net called no-goal, but the other ref coming from center overruled him and called it a goal. The war-rooms call was inconclusive so the on ice call of "goal" that was called by the ref at center ice stood. That's the reason this play is so controversial.

  • @MrTwonton True, but it has to be black and white conclusive to overturn the call on the ice.

  • Ref's screw of the year (stars@det-11/18/2009)

    search youtube and see how nhl officals keep favouring Dallas

  • @roduon LOL Reffs In CANADA do NOT Favor Dallas hahahahahahahahahhahahahahahah­ahahaha

  • Datsyuk Game 4 Goal Waived Off (search youtube)

    How about this? What a BS officiating! I am so surprised that the call was in favor of Dallas! NOT!

  • it seems to me NHL officials rule in favor of Dallas most of the time. And when it matters most. Overtime or SO. Brett Hull's famous "no goal" in Buffalo in the triple overtime of Game Six of the Stanley Cup Final! And of course they changed the rule right after this happened so Dallas could justify their Stanly Cup victory... This year NHL officials disallowed Capitals absolutely legitimate goal right before the siren. so the caps lost....

  • I understand how that is crap, didn't go across the line I agree, but you need to calm down its 1 game, you get a point and you even named your account after that and you team is 2nd in the west, CALM DOWN

  • Had Patrick Eaves scored this wouldn't have been an issue

  • At first glance I thought it was a goal. But the ref didn't, and a goal was not proved yet still given.

    Stupid call in my opinion.

  • just so everyone knows the call on the ice is no goal.

    after that the referee's on the ice have no further call on the status of the goal.

    it is sent to the war room in toronto where officials then look at all the camera angles in super slow motion high def.

    i suspect the people in toronto had an additional angle not shown to the public that clearly showed a good goal

  • @kanyeezy24 Toronto didn't have another angle. It was said after the game that the back ref who was Leggo convinced the ref who was on the line that it went in. Watch part 2 of this that's where they say how it was ruled on.

  • @kanyeezy24 Actually the call was reversed on the ice before they went to Toronto. The other referee and the two linesmen all had goal on the ice so they officiating crew reversed the call on the ice to a good goal.

    SO, when they got on the horn with Toronto, the call on the ice was goal and there was no way to overturn it.

    I'm not saying the officials got it right, but that's what happened.

  • @DLGFTW. hmm, it's too bad they don't just put plexiglass underneath the goal and goal line and put a camera underneath...or at the very least don't paint the ice underneath the goal and throw a camera down there, or even further just put a microchip inside the puck and have sensors on both goal posts which tell you if the puck fully crossed the line.

  • @kanyeezy24 There has to be a better way to determine these things, but I love the human element part of the game, even if they get it wrong from time to time.

    Plus, I'm a Stars fan so this didn't bother me.

  • You're an idiot, Mike Leggo has nothing to do with it. He doesn't decide whether it was a goal or not... He just said the play must be reviewed which is right to make sure the right call is made.

  • @HabsFanTom Watch part 2 of this where it is said that Mike Leggo overruled Martell.

  • LMFAO that commentator! "Referee is not HERE where he should be " (behind the goal"... -.- If you are behind the goal, you wont see is that a goal or not

  • You can't put a price on Ott being an asshole about a total bullshit goal.

  • 6:07 The BEST

  • thats Toronto...not the referee.

    Toronto SUCKS ASS with goal/no goal .. that's no surprise

  • actually the reason it was called a goal was because there was inconclusive evidence. "But the call on the ice was no-goal!" You say. Ah that's where the refs got ya! Apparently the ref from the blue line had a better view than the ref 2 feet away from the goal and he called it a goal. So apparently that call overrules the call from the ref closer. (This was what was explained to Babcock)

    Make sense now?... didn't think so. I don't wanna wear a tin foil hat, but stuff like this doesn't help

  • Leggo the Red Wings! ROFL!!!

  • Leggo the Red Wings! |ROFL!!!

  • no goal

  • For everybody on here saying that the call was inconclusive so it should have been no goal, here is the article explaining what actually happened.

  • Comment removed

  • Hey, they still had a chance to tie and continue the game. Eaves missed, that's why they lost.

  • Every ref screws the Red Wings

  • freeze the video at 5:48 and from the reverse angle it looks close!

  • Its unbelievable how many results you can find when you type the word disallowed goal in the NHL and how 90% of those videos involve the wings.....im not a wings fan....its just an observation

  • @CaptainJackRyan

    Yeah, its because the wings fans seem to post the video's all over youtube. I watch other games and catch controversial calls all the time and want to get on youtube and see them but no one posts them.

  • @CaptainJackRyan It's very sad :(

  • regardless of whether or not it crossed the line, no angle had evidence of thath. the on ice ruling is no goal. replay doesnt show otherwise... so why the hell is it a goal? thats just nhl reffing today...

  • @Tbagurdrumset94

    The on ice ruling was actually goal. the ref who called it off cause he lost sight of it, so he asked the other ref and he said it went in. So the call was no conclusive evidence and it went to the call of goal. There is an article on this actually from the NHL, after they checked the recordings and what not.

  • @Kartkid024

    k. i'll just take that XD lol. just glad i'm not a wings fan. woulda been SUPER pissed

  • @Kartkid024 Yeah...that's why he was waving no goal about 800 times right after the play...O.o

  • /8-8@IrishHeroMan/

    Yes cause he lost track of it. So he waved it off. Then when he talked to the other ref, that ref said he saw it go in. They then went and told the scoring table we have a goal, but toronto wanted to review it. After review they decided it was inconclusive. So the original call was upheld as a goal. Weird, I thought I explained that. Either way.

  • @Kartkid024 How could any other ref have a better view then the one practically hanging from Howards jock strap? It makes no sense either way. Thanks for trying to explain it though.

  • @IrishHeroMan

    Just because your closer doesn't mean you have a better view. See if you look, the glove is between his line of sight and the puck, the glove blocked his view, The ref from behind can see between his legs and see the puck the entire time as he places his glove over it.

  • @IrishHeroMan

    Here is an article for you

    ht tp:/ /ww w. defendingbigd.c om/2 010/1/16/1255059/vi deo-of-steve-otts-goal-the-nhl­s

  • FUCK THE WINGS!!!

  • @1996HockeyMan fuck u

  • Only way that joke steve ott can score

  • good call

  • the wings are always screwed out of goals.. and its funny when i see these "red wings suck" comments.. hahaha.. .11 cups. .and these fucks are pry bandwagon fans to other teams cause there actual team can't win shit

  • @RedWingsFan2010

    Umm... bandwagon fans usally tend to go to a team that is winning. you know like the redwings, well of what they had and are losing. The bandwagon fans are the ones who through around the 11 cup thing only to realize that when they won the first 7 that it was actually a disgrace cause they should have won more, but you probably already know that part of your history don't you.the controversal part, or maybe you don't know the wings history before the last decade and a half

  • Just like when they "failed to notice" Brad May's goal earlier that season to tie the game in November, I feel like the league just found a way to give this game to Dallas.

    In other news, Steve Ott is a really classy guy.

  • hahahaha me and mike leggo needa smoke a blunt together. fuck you detroit!!!!

  • @mtmarolla SO U THINK THATS A GOAL?? WAT THE HELL R U SMOKIN??

  • @breakoutrulz hahahaha no i shouldnt have been a goal. i just hate detroit

  • I totally agree, good God damned gorgeous!!

  • wings really got screwed this season

  • For the official explanation, go about 3:25 into part 2 of this when Ken and Mickey get the word from the NHL.

    But as for the video review, on the reverse angle look they show at 5:40, you can see the puck the whole way and I'd say that conclusively shows the puck did NOT cross the line.

  • how can you say that Leggo overturned that call whenthe guys in Toronto nearly 10 minutes to look at it. Martell and Leggo did the right thing going upstairs on that play so if you want to blame anyone blame the guys in Toronto, not Leggo

  • He may be blind, but good god damned he's gorgeous!

  • 1:31 1:32...you can see the puck clearly over the line...and I'm sure the tv crew knew it to...I love how they show it as howard hovers over the puck but then fast forwards it past this view the second time you see it. I could see the puck over and I'm think toronto saw the same thing which would explain way they called it a good goal

  • Even as a Blackhawks fan, this is just horrible. I may not like the Wings but Im all about fair calls. If the original call from the ref 2 feet away was no goal, then thats the call. Mike Leggo shouldnt be able to overturn it. This guy should be fired and banned from sports for the rest of his life.

  • Upon further review, we have determined that Steve Ott is a pussy

  • this isnt the refs fault. the puck at live speed from his angle looked like it could have crossed the line and if they didnt go check the replay then they arent giving them a second chance to make the right call.If anything its the replay crew in Toronto's fault for saying thats conclusive

  • @Sandman1454 what? The ref 4 FEET AWAY said it was no goal. Leggo was at the blue line and HE overturned the original call. Toronto said there was no conclusive evidence that it was a goal, but Leggo overturned the other ref and called it a goal. This is one of the biggest abortions of a call Ive ever seen!

  • Puck has to pass the line, it didnt.....but bad save by howard should of did a better job covering it up.

  • Actually i'm not a red wings fan, but this was a horrible mistake from the referee.

    You could see, that the puck wasn't with the full volume over the line.

    BUt in fact, the Red Wings had 6 Chnaces for a goal but didn't score once....

  • The replay at about 2:40 is misleading. You see from the other replays that the puck was definitely moving into the goal. At about 1:26 the replay they show is inconclusive at best. Given the speed of the puck and the position when it is seen last, I'd say it didn't go over. Judging on where Howard's glove was when he finally got it to push it out, it may have gone across the line, but probably didn't. Bad call, but the game meant nothing to both teams.

  • The NHL will not admit to any fault.

  • the puck is in the net at 1:31 when its under the his glove

  • That wasn't even conclusive fking refs.

  • FIxed

  • It was on the FRIGIN line

  • Fuck the Red Wings and fuck all you Red Wings. You guys have been spoon fed by this league for the past 6 years. About time you guys get whats coming. And whats funny is, it isnt the league, its youre fucking team thats the problem. LETS GO PENS! LETS GO STARS! LETS GO SABRES!

  • what the fuck are you talking about spoon fed??

    you fucking queer!!...

    the wings have been at rock bottom and climbed there way up to the top..and they did it them selfs...

    now if you wanna talk about a team who's had games and calls handed to them.... ITS THE PENS..

    FUCK HOMO..

    MAYBE UR JUST MAD THE WINGS ARE THAT GOOD.. AND JUST CAUSE YOU SEE THEM IN 6TH PLACE OR 8TH PLACE YOU THINK THERE GONNA BE DONE..

    AHHAHAH!!.. FUCK NO..lol...

  • @RedWingsFan2010 haha well see faggot

  • @hbkrulez1 spoonfed?.......and you're a crosby fan right? talk about spoonfed. I guarantee i could pick you out of a crowd. collars aren't popped kid.....put your collar down. no sunglasses at night you douchebag.

  • @cousinbill18 Hell yeah im a Crosby fan, hes not my favorite Penguins, but hes the best player in the game. Im sick of hearing all of this Crosby is only good because of Bettman shit. Dumbasses like you just dont appreciate a kid who has worked his ass off his whole life. He turned the whole Penguins organization around with his skill and leadership. So next time you want to see a true athlete, tune in to FSN Pittsburgh faggot.

  • @hbkrulez1 you know you're right, i don't appreciate him, or his hard work, cause he certainly doesn't have to work that hard right now. yeah that's what i'll do, just tune right into FSN Pittsburgh, cause everyone gets that channel, faggot.

  • @cousinbill18 Its called watching internet feeds dumbass. And btw, why is this called Mike Leggo screws the Redwings, why dont you blame your goaltenders inability to make a save on the warroom.

  • @hbkrulez1 why the fuck would i watch a game on the internet, to support a team that was pretty much handed the cup last year, led by a player that's catered to by the league....and i'm the dumbass? "internet feed.....what's that? never heard of the internet before"

  • I was at this game. What a horrible call. puck has to cross the line completely. This is the second time Detroit was screwed when playing Dallas. Brad May's goal should have been a goal there, it broke the line completely. What's going on here? Who's paying the ref's?

  • @vorheezy313 amen my dad and me have alwayes been wondering that ourselves. i say they get paied for makeing it exsiting (or "%$#!*&" lol

    on the up side were up 4,5or6 points on calgary w00t!

  • This was one of the worst calls ive ever seen. how does a lineman overturn the head ref's call?

  • That WAS a goal

  • he didn't screw them..the puck went with him..never actually stopped moving when he closed up on it.

  • thats too bad . . otts a major bitch

  • Why dosent the NHL fire Leggo? THEY'RE LAZY ASSES!

  • Did Leggo make the call? NOOOO HE DIDNT NO GOAL

    COME HERE LEGGO CAN I HAVE A COUPLE OF FISTS WITH U

  • @gophilliesforever what's the problem, the puck obviously crossed the line, quit bitchin pussy

  • @iCanadian14 ....what replay were you watching that conclusively proved that o.o the Ref was the ONLY person who had a clear as day view...this is terrible : (
