Wow what a hit by Caps star Alex Ovechkin as he laid out the human obstruction machine Hall Gill. In my world that is what I call finishing a check and I believe that goal should have counted. I am hoping that the Capitals or Bruins make it out of the East this season. It was ruled no goal on the ice but I think it should have counted.
Ovechkin had a goal waved off 14:10 into the second. Ovechkin crashed the crease and knocked Montreal defenseman Hal Gill into Price as the puck slid into the net after the Montreal goalie made a huge glove save on Mike Knuble's shot.
Initially ruled a goal, the on-ice officials huddled in front the timekeeper's bench before reversing their decision, waving off the goal.

Ovechkin is a great scorer, but his skates ALWAYS leave the ice when he hits someone. I thought that doing that is a penalty.
ReplyDeleteBack to the video, that goal should have counted, since they aren't gonna enforce the rule...
What is the reasoning for that goal not counting??
ReplyDeleteI don't know but waving it off cause a bit of a stir over on a few of the blogs.
