Did the NHL intentionally make up for the goalie interference call in the Florida-Boston series?

[Ratsreign]

I see that some new people are finally realizing what 'game management' really means to NHL officials

Refs had dinner reservations, and had to make their flight to the next city.

Who said anything about what the GM would do? I meant fans like you rampaging

Second laughing emoji seems forced.

 

[Coach Parker]

You could maybe argue that Bobrovsky had a chance to set up for the shot after he was bumped by Heinen. On the other hand, Bennett’s goal was pure BS IMO. I don’t understand for the life of me how that counted.

Looks like most of the fans here agree with this. Bob reset and dropped his stick and was beat top shelf.

You will if you lose.

We already lost...

If you mean series.

Then something major is wrong with our team and we deserve to lose the series against a horrible team

Bennett is a no goal 100% of the time, they just blew that

On the regular season, McAvoy's would be a coin flip, admittedly I could see it go either way. I think given the scrutiny of playoff hockey and threshold for overturning a goal, in a vacuum that'd stand 70% of the time. In context of what happened the game before, they weren't going to take the goal off the board (not a deliberate makeup call but more subconsciously wanting to avoid the wrath of shafting a team and fanbase that is already furious).

The saddest thing was when ESPN brought Dave Jackson in as an "expert" and he started to say it was clearly a goal until Callahan mentioned Heinen's stick touched Bob and then he switched to "clearly no goal", like this guy gets convinced by the slightest argument and he was a supervisor in charge of officiating?

 

[Over the volcano]

Well that clinches it.

 

[Ghost of Murph]

I don't think making up for a previous call had anything to do with it. Last night it was clearly the right call.

The good thing about this series is that the deserving team has won all 5 games. All the talk about reffing and Toronto is a bit much. Bad calls and no calls happen every series and typically even out.

That was embarrassing.

Yeah I thought the goal yesterday was basically just about if you thought that was *enough* of a reset and at how many milliseconds of him being reset is enough of a reset. The fact that OEL (on his own) was interfering as well made it more complicated to parse through. You could have homer glasses on in either direction and not be *wrong*. Just gray area shit. But goals are better than no goals.

It could have gone either way, and I think that the humans involved in making the choice are humans and it being weighted to Boston's favor, purposeful or not, wouldn't be crazy given the fallout of their choice on the Bennett goal which was really really really questionable.

 

[Beezeral]

I thought last night was a 50/50 call that went Boston's way. Sunday night was 100% a bad call.

Boston has enough good players that if Swayman goes berserk you can lose.

 

[Ezekial]

There wasn't GTI on the Boston goal. Bob was reset and his own player affected him the most.

 

[HockeyMomx2]

One is a lot different than the other imo

Panthers are selling everything tho.
Dropping sticks, throwing heads back, taking their own legs out from under them…

Surprised the refs didn’t blow the play dead again to see if Bob was ok after dropping his stick

For real. Such a joke that was. If it were in Boston's end not only would play continue but FL could just drop a player on the B's goalie and prevent him from being able to move at all and score a goal and will be counted as a good goal.

 

[Mogo]

Boston has enough good players that if Swayman goes berserk you can lose.

If we stop playing they can easily win

 

[bb_fan]

If that's the rule, that's stupid. OEL has a right to be there, and Heinen doesn't. Crashing/slipping boxouts towards goalies... I don't like it. I guess the only alternative is to pound forwards who do it.

A forward doesn't have the right to stand in front of the goalie at the top of the crease???

Do you need a second crease outside of the main crease?

 

[Bradely]

Nice.

This video ends the story on the Bennett goal. Strange how the same people or same organisation comes out with two different response/outcome to two very very similar play - Bennett goal versus Maroon goal.

That is what I dislike.
If we search on the Macavoy goal, we will probably find similar situation.

 

[Vilam]

Pretty obviously yes. As a Panthers fan, I'm fine with it. They're tone policing the series and the fans.

The game 4 call was correct, the game 5 call was incorrect, but not egregiously do. It's OK.

 

[elmaco]

Theres no makeups, thats just dumb, would only mean that more mistakes are made.

 

[Outl4w]

Bob seems to like making contact with opposing players bringing himself out of position to make a save.

 

[bigbadbruins1]

Hard to say but I certainly can see the argument. Bob discards his stick when he feels resistance from Ekblad, likely thinking it was Hienen.

There was some contact with Hienen, but Bob Seems to have been able to reset himself and just gets beat.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Where's the option for right call the first goal, wrong call the 2nd goal?

This would be the most incorrect and unlikely option of all scenarios.

The first goal was as obvious as it gets as goalie interference. Former players and officials have addressed it.

The second goal was the more typical 50-50 goalie interference where absolutely no one has any idea, and each call could be debated correctly.
