TB no goal awarded goal

[JohnnyCUnit]

hits the butt of the stick after it was dropped/thrown so sorry... the right call was made

[patrickRoy33kaw]

but im a goalie and i have had pucks hit right under my blocker and knock my stick out my hand so i say it was a fair save  no goal

[patrickRoy33kaw]

i hate the lightning and i live in florida i love colorado

[villieater]

it would be funny if st. louis 0:05 played in st. louis

[x30xSabresFan]

If anyone accualy looks at the rule book, If a goaltender throws his stick during a shootout, a goal will be given to the non-offending team. Stop complaining.

[Heyndime]

@x30xSabresFan true. only thing here is he didn't throw his stick.

[wyckydsceptre2099]

@Heyndime The rule still applys when you drop your stick in order to take away parts of the ice.

[zZBananaManZz]

Even if he did throw his stick its still a stupid rule i think he should be allowed to throw his stick

[IvegotYou21]

if i was rick i would have killed that ref on the spot and have done the great sport of hockey a favor.

[jayblob716]

Is this what they call a "garbage goal"?

[mikehockey72]

I NEED A ROPE, A TREE, TO HANG THE REFFEREE

[zZBananaManZz]

@mikehockey72 That rhymes

[le4a7]

WTF Reff! Smith is the best

[x30xSabresFan]

I would of said he just dropped his stick as he did

[1mcbeck]

Those refs are a disgrace to hockey

[bobgardner8]

The stick never ever went towards the puck as he dropped it

[GoPensGo377]

horrible, why would they count that lol, should be a save and if they said he threw his stick just redo the shot

[shoshoandfriends]

why do there jerseys say bolts?

[guitardude99999]

@shoshoandfriends ever heard of an alternate jersey?

[shoshoandfriends]

@guitardude99999 yes i have but the team is called the lightning why the hell does their jersey say bolts its stupid

[guitardude99999]

@shoshoandfriends bolts are they're nickname

[Benmical619]

stick fell out f his hand

[mrredwings88]

this shit is always called on the maple leafs and the lightning. the NHL just picks a team and makes them be apsolutly horrible. but this its diffent im chearing for the leafs and the lightning

[patriots43v3r]

this ref must be pregnant, he's missed a couple periods

[mrredwings88]

@patriots43v3r i saw a sign at a game that said that

[patriots43v3r]

@mrredwings88 it's a popular chirp

[mrredwings88]

@patriots43v3r ya...but you are 110% right

[raran44]

how in the hell was that a goal?

[thosam128]

wow he made the save with the blocker then drops his stick... the ref is blind and deaf

[breakoutrulz]

the stick was dropped... not throw NO GOAL

[TheAceofNate]

the aves hired Babe Ruthe as the goalie?

[lucasn23]

k i agree dumb call it was no goal... but what that other goalie did at the end where he fucking home run'd it.... THAT WAS KINKY.... 1:20 Home run!!

[Gamer9678]

good goalies (or bad I guess if you have to throw your stick in the first place) can make it look like an accident, this attempt was unsuccesful

[krisversteegfan]

is there a rule that a goalie cannot DROP his stick? i think they have a perfectly good reason for getting upset

[Kartracer6]

That's a really bad call wow

[99r99rng]

He threw it

[TheTwister35]

@99r99rng no if u look really close u can see he was going to through it.... but he did not he shifted his arm in front and he did not even touch the puck with his stick

[jackavsfan]

FREEZE at :51. The stick is NOT in his hand, and Hejduk has not finished his shot yet. You can clearly see that his blocker hand is EMPTY. There is no stick in it.

[ghockeygoalie]

@jackavsfan The rule is he has to throw his stick at the puck. Now, in this situation it is the refs judgement wither or not he threw the stick. Tough call but probably shouldn't have been called a goal.

[jackavsfan]

@ghockeygoalie Rule 25.4, Violations During the Shot: "...The goalkeeper may attempt to stop the puck in any manner, except by throwing his stick or any object, or by dislodging the goal, in which case a goal shall be awarded..." NOWHERE in there does it say the stick has to be thrown at the puck. Either way, it's null because whether or not Smith meant to let go of that stick, it went in the direction of the puck and may well have hit it.

[KADooDLE45]

@jackavsfan yeah your right but dude, he fucking dropped his stick an he even made the save before it hit the ice.. retarded call

[jackavsfan]

@KADooDLE45 doesn't matter whether he dropped it or threw it, he let go of his stick. And it doesn't matter when the stick hits the ice; it matters when it leaves his hand.

[Edawg649]

He did throw it!

[CISVrulz]

thats why I hate refs

[flames41418]

of course...this always happens to tampa.i was here this game and i wanted to get on the ice and punch the ref in the face.

[luongohockey]

he did not throw his stick no goal

[seiver1088]

Since you cant award a goal if you have no visual or conclusive evidence that the puck crossed the line then you should not be able to award a goal if you are not sure the goalie threw his stick or not because you can tell plain as day that he didn't throw his stick. If this is the case they should make it.. the goalie loses his stick so we award the other team the goal... Sorry goalies... guess just try to hold on to your sticks

[spartan934]

awarding them a goal because he dropped his stick after the save is complete BS, if the guy didn't score, how does he get a goal??

[jackavsfan]

@spartan934 Read the rulebook. If you can't find it, give me a holler and I can find an exact rule and subsection for you.

[MattAlbie]

Mick?  Is that you Mick? Are you reffing again? Sonofa...

[DustyDinkleman26]

this is a TRAVESTY, CONSPIRACY, and ASSAULT all at once

[dark2200]

BULLSHIT!

[picc42]

thats definitaly not a goal

[alucardXX2009]

NO GOAL!!!! Right after the puck is shot the goalie saves it from going in and the impact of the puck hitting the blocker made the stick slip out......thats a bs call

[CdySmpsn]

Yeah I'm a huge avalanche fan, and even I agree....that's a pretty bs call, like some of you have said, at the very least they should have had a reshot.

[jahoops10]

bad call

[projecthydro420]

Sign the Petition to FIRE bettman.

[rpihockeyfan]

IM BLIND IM DEAF I WANNA BE A REFF!

[xP1KKAx]

if i were the guy that "scored", i wouldve asked them to call it back. thats absolute crap

[SlayerPayback]

even IF he would have "thrown" his stick ... the puck never went in the net ...... so instead of giving the opposition a goal for not even getting the puck in the net on a contraversial save , retake the fuckin shot , don't give them a free goal.....

[urrahfag]

@SlayerPayback True but i guess its the same as a penalty shot when the goalie is pulled - a given goal.

[BelieveInAlma]

The puck does not have to come in contact with the stick for it to count as a thrown stick penalty. However the goalie is responsible for his stick and must keep it in his hand. Even if the throw was un-intentional. Many players have kicked pucks in while trying to bank the puck off their skates and missed their stick by an inch or two. Those goals are also no goals even know the intention was there. See it is lees about did he drop or throw and more about was it a dropping or throwing motion.

[TBLightning12]

HORRIBLE CALL, refs suck, even if that happened to colorado I would still say no goal, crappy call.

[jreaglesgoalie32]

pause it at 1:03 it hits the stick

[SharksHockey92]

not even close to a throw

[lttlman2013]

i was there! so fucking pissd!

[GoalieFan95]

that was gay he never threw it, he lost it making the save

[stei667]

ya really im not even a tampa bay fan, but the sure as hell was NO GOAL, he lost the stick after the save was made, he slipped and that made him lose it.

[AndySavageX]

horable call

[Paralititan]

That was definitely no throw, he dropped it. The goalies should be given the edge in such situations I think.

[EDKsurly]

BULLSHIT!

[nhlRUL3]

fuck that shud not be a goal he did not throw it he dropped it when he had make thersave

[LightningGymMonkey98]

I went to that game! I was so mad that they can't give the Lightning a chance. Smith totally saved that one and he DROPPED his stick, he didn't THROW IT on purpose.

[gtha069]

its 1 thing to not be able to win a game in overtime or a shootout its another thing to just give the fuckin game to the other team thats deffinately the worst call i have seen a long time

[UofMFan8]

wow thats a save

[devilray96]

0:26 is so beastly

[devilray96]

i love our 3rd jersy

[lcnh]

terrible call!

[bustedwhistle]

Rule 30 Penalty Shot

The goalkeeper must remain in his crease until the player taking the penalty shot has touched the puck and in the event of violation of this Rule or any foul committed by a goalkeeper, the Referee shall allow the shot to be taken and if the shot fails, he shall permit the penalty shot to be taken over again.

The goalkeeper may attempt to stop the shot in any manner except by throwing his stick or any object, in which case a goal shall be awarded.

[kieranccc]

not a tamba bay fan but that was bullshit thats total bullshit

[fpxdaxbe]

fucking bullshit!

[redwingfan324]

refs r always stupid. in my last game the other team ran into my goalie 3x & all of them resulted in goals. the refs didnt call the goalie interference every time. + there were other crap calls.

[Bulldogs119]

The only reason i could come up with would be because the puck hit the stick first then his blocker 1:03

[GatoradeGood]

Well maybe, but he was hold the stick, it hit, then bounced off his blocker, at the same time or after cant tell he started dropping his stick

[flames41418]

it doesnt matter if the stick left his hand before or after.he didnt throw it...

[hdhock3y]

Horrible call

[buffsabre61]

this would make me furious

absolute bullshit

what's wrong with the refs this year?

[vaneKfan2k]

haha what a brutal call!

[acetradamus]

GO LEAFS GO

[pureobscure]

Wow what a bullshit call.

[echobunny31]

sorry... let the stick go, than threw it.. i meant

[echobunny31]

Looks like a good save to me...

he didn't throw the stick at Hedjuk or the puck...

his momentum cause the stick to leave his hand...

it looks more like he let the stick than threw it!

Hasek used to do this all the time with no call.

[BloodShade9]

He drpped the stick and the rules say that thats an autmatic goal in a penelty shot/ shootout

[kcksave72]

Dropping a stick is not an automatic goal.

[kevinja88]

In a penalty shot or shootout, yes it is.

[neoshinoda]

no its not dumbass, if your stick is thrown in the direction of the puck carrier in an attempt to check the puck away from him, then your awarded a penalty shot... if the same thing happens from a goaltenders perspective, then you're awarded a goal... that was no thrown stick, whether the puck hit the stick or not. it was a bullshit call, and shouldnt have been awarded a goal.

[tysondee0505]

looks to me like the stick came out just before the save was made....

[Vitvax]

tohlecto uznam nemneli protože ten puk nejdřív chytil a pak mu teprve vypadla hokejka takže gol to nebyl!
