Ok. Fine. You didn't see the puck in the net and you blew the whistle and called the play dead. It happens all the time. It goes to review and you find out that you made a mistake. Change your call. It's your JOB to make the right call.<br /><br />Do we think the same call would have been made if this were the Stanley Cup Finals, Game 7, score 2-1? I know it happened similar to this against Anaheim but it wasn't AS obvious. This was an obvious goal. There is no way you can dispute it.<br /><br />The judges in Toronto should have the ability to overturn a call like this when it's that badly made or when the Ref for whatever reason refuses to admit that he made a mistake.<br /><br />And we know this is not quite the same scenario as Anaheim. If it were, it would have gotten more press than this is getting now. I saw this video this morning because I don't get the NHL Network with my Center Ice Package. As soon as I went to nhl.com I saw a post about it. This afternoon I saw another post. It was a horrible call and I hope a good rule change comes in to prevent stuff like this from happening again.<br /><br />At least we have plenty of other hockey fans backing us up that the ref made a disgusting call. And the few Dallas fans that had comments about this happening would have been just as disgusted if it happened to them. Nobody wants to see their team win a game like this. Yeah a win is a win but it doesn't have the same meaning.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10134771943311486112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837627896366610743.post-60300972975956755732009-11-19T14:44:57.434-05:002009-11-19T14:44:57.434-05:00There's still a goal judge, he doesn't sit...There's still a goal judge, he doesn't sit right behind the net where the goal light is. Instead they moved him up to like suite level I think and he sits on an angle to the goal. Depending on which side he faces probably played a factor in not switching on the light. If he was over Auld's right shoulder as I was, then there is no excuse.Animal Drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09891882121704676411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837627896366610743.post-82527486973908414302009-11-19T14:01:48.509-05:002009-11-19T14:01:48.509-05:00i thought i heard they don't have judges behin...i thought i heard they don't have judges behind the goal now. is that true?Twig on the Wingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15509241667229128056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837627896366610743.post-73319825977218962302009-11-19T09:53:23.702-05:002009-11-19T09:53:23.702-05:00I'd love to know why the goal judge didn't...I'd love to know why the goal judge didn't flip the red light on behind the net. Did he not see that the puck was in? This would have been a catalyst in Detroit celebrating the goal which may have impacted the referees mindset. Also...it is absolutely ridiculous that we're even talking about this. A goal is a goal and should be thus, no matter what the ref was thinking at the time it was scored.Animal Drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09891882121704676411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837627896366610743.post-49592346540467965142009-11-19T09:45:14.565-05:002009-11-19T09:45:14.565-05:00anyone else reminded of the goal stevie y scored a...anyone else reminded of the goal stevie y scored against colorado in game 5 of the 2002 conference finals? he shoots the puck and only he and roy knew it was in. he started screaming that it was in, the ref skated up to the net, looked and signaled it was a goal. <br /><br />that's how it needs to be if they refuse to make everything reviewable.Twig on the Wingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15509241667229128056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837627896366610743.post-18828205784615602012009-11-19T09:35:34.667-05:002009-11-19T09:35:34.667-05:00I understand the ruling they used but I don't ...I understand the ruling they used but I don't understand how there is anyway in hell that this ruling could possibly be used in this situation. <br /><br />This "no-goal" bothers me, BUT it wont bother me as much as WHEN the call goes the other way, and they count the same type of play as a goal against the Wings. And you know it WILL happen.<br /><br /> Also, how do we know it was Toronto on the phone with the ref. I bet it was Bettman telling LaRue "good call" and giving him a raise.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08576113414052082701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837627896366610743.post-44114406064295766922009-11-19T09:18:25.557-05:002009-11-19T09:18:25.557-05:00They need to record these phone calls with the Tor...They need to record these phone calls with the Toronto "war room" I really want to hear what they talked about. <br /><br />I bet if one of the Wings would have done some celebrating a few second sooner LaRue would have called it a goal.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08576113414052082701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837627896366610743.post-15455484121305026152009-11-19T08:31:27.765-05:002009-11-19T08:31:27.765-05:00i was watching FS Dallas because little gary's...i was watching FS Dallas because little gary's network was blacked out in my area and even the stars announcers were stunned at the BS.
