Running NHL 2023-24 regular season thread

This one is clearer. There are others even clearer. If you are questioning this, it's because you just want to argue. There is no question the puck crossed the goal line.

This is conclusive? Come on man. I agree that it looks like it could be in, but if you're saying the league should have overturned the call on the ice based on either of the images you've showed, I think you're approaching this too emotionally.

Watch the video. Even the stick jamming the puck against the goalie pad is over the line. So working forward, it's pad, puck, stick, 2 inches of white ice, goal line.
Enough, another game today.

If you need to run through a mathematical logic proof to work out if the puck went over, then you've proven why the refs didn't rule it a good goal. The standard is it must be conclusive to over turn the call. The refs didn't clearly see the puck crossed. It's just a bunch of blurry images and back of the napkin math. Probably isn't good enough. Did you get screwed? Probably but that's the rules everyone works under. Sucks for fans but thems the breaks.
 
Confirm or overturn provided there is enough evidence then you default to the call on the ice. The whole provided there is enough evidence is what's hanging you up. You see what your want to see but are missing the rest of us squinting at the "evidence."
 
You're the one who is posting blurry photos and trying to convince everyone you can see big foot in them and getting pissy when no one agrees. The standard in every sport that uses replay is if you can conclusively prove the call is wrong, you over turn it. If you cannot, you don't. In every sport they often can't confirm the call but they don't change the ruling because they can't confirm it the other way either. You chose not to see it because it was the Ducks who got screwed by the nuance. Yeah they probably scored, but there is nothing that is clear and obvious. Or at least that was the memo I got from Bettman about how the league was going to screw the Ducks this week. I'll leave you in suspense for what the league has planned next.

So Corey Perry signed a one year deal for $4 million. He was scratched last game and missed practice for "an organizational decision". Nobody from the team will say anything, nobody from the media knows anything. Very strange.
 
This really looks like last year's Penguins. They can't protect a lead and they find some really interesting ways to blow it. They led, 2-0, in the third. A Letang turnover set up the first goal, then Karlsson tipped one into his own net to tie it, then the wheels really fell off.
 
Kings win their ninth straight game on the road to open the season, one off New Jersey's record.

They may need an asterisk, as there were more Kings fans than Ducks fans in Anaheim.
