OFFICIAL GDT: PENS VS PANTHERS (11/30/13)

[farnham16]

Wow. What a horrible overturn.

[sniper]

Thought that one should have counted. He couldn't even see the puck.

[bigkam]

If the point of the kicking rule is to protect the players from a skate injury, then I like this call. He definitely moved his skate forward to kick it, and nearly kicked his skate up Despres' leg. If that's the purpose of the rule, then you should disallow a goal like that.

Thought that should have been a good goal. I'll take it though.

[farnham16]

That is just a really bad overturn.

[Gaucho]

Irrelevant, afaik.

I don't think it's a terrible call.

[MRandall25]

Eh, Kunitz has gotten goals waved off for less.

This x1000

[Lt. Dish]

Violates the law that Sean Bergenheim must score on the Pens every time he plays them. Vigilante refereeing.

[columbia]

Good call on that...he kicked it.

[GDR]

excellent job by video review. A clear kick.

Yeah, by the book it shouldn't count because he did kick it in. Although when Despres is blocking his view of the puck it seems pretty hard to believe he intentionally kicked at it.

[farnham16]

Clear kick? No way. Panthers got hosed there.

[NashvilleCat]

Don't look now but the lazy Russian is gaining on the league's leading scorer

[Gaucho]

Clear kick? No way. Panthers got hosed there.

Sorry for your loss.

[Beveridge]

Would have been upset the other way so I'll lean towards Pens got one there.

[Steve]

Watching on the pens network - the replays they showed during the review, looked like a good goal. But that last replay they showed, looked like a kicking motion to me.

If that happened to the Pens this board would freak out. It was a really bad call IMO, especially considering they called it a goal on the ice.

[CERV96]

I never understood people who wear Steeler jerseys to Pens road games vise versa etc.. I see it all the time. If you can afford a ticket you can afford a $20 t shirt.

This board freaking out doesn't mean it's wrong :pop:

Any team or their fans would feel that way but those are the rules.

When does this board ever freak out? ;)
