What is the WORST missed/bad call you've ever seen?
The call where that S****D ref DIDINT call a penalty on Wayne against the leafs
No call Gretzky high stick on Gilmour game 6 Conference Finals LA Kings vs Leaf's 1993 worst fucking no call ever.
The ignored cross check by Mayfield on Kucherov last year. Dude literally broke a star player's ribs and didn't even get 2 minutes
Nashville 2017 colton Sissons goal waived off
Out of the entire VGK-MTL ref'ing debacle, the high stick that bloodied Perry in OT was egregious. March took a baseball swing at the puck and sent Perry down to the ice in plain view of the refs.
Keep in mind, that back in the days, in 1993 as well, high-sticking with blood was automatic 5-minute major and game misconduct.. That's why it was a big deal with Gretzky's no-call.
Yeah...I'm generally not one for conspiracy theories, but I don't think it's absurd to believe that Gretzky was not called for that obvious high stick cuz it would mean him being ejected and LA losing that game which would have lead to a Toronto and Montreal series as the final. A delight for existing hockey fans to be sure, but the league very much wanted LA with Gretzky to win that 93 cup to solidify the sunbelt as a hockey market and continue growing the game stateside. I'm sure they were livid when Montreal ended up taking it in the end lol.
@@AbortedFeti that’s why Gretzky number will never be topped, it was a different game where the enforcers would never touch the all stars like him, it’s a different game now
@@AbortedFeti I can see the anti-MTL sentiment in the league today, as a lot of people here believe the league has it out for the Habs because of that. A MTL-TOR cup finals would have been epic, I'll have to live with the 2020-2021 1st round upset.
That Haunted Maple Leafs for a long time now, and I don't blame them
LOL The day I stopped rooting for the Leafs and became a fulltime Red Wings fan. I was 9 years old with a mother from Detroit and a father from Toronto. So I had family on one side sending me Leafs and Blue Jays gear, and the other side was sending me Wings and Tigers gear. I always rooted for both when they weren't playing each other but chose the Leafs when the two faced off. After that no-call and the eventual loss in game 7 I looked at my dad and said "I'm done. I'm a Wings fan" my dad looked at me with a smile and said "You'll probably live a happier life that way buddy". Little did I know just a few years later the Wings would turn into the powerhouse they were for over 2 decades. Now hoping Yzerman will lead Detroit back to greatness but I still root for the Leafs when they aren't playing Detroit. I just don't put as much heart in it. Got to get a new Felix "The Cat" Potvin sweater though. Those things are sick. Poor Leafs.
Remember when Crosby took off Marc methots finger and didn’t get a penalty
That’s because he’s Crosby
It caused a rule change at least
How did he do that
@@rileykazama3145 Slashed him right on the glove, hence why slashes to the hands are automatically called
@@barx yikes
Looks like from the angle;
Dahlin pushed with closed fists for all 3 shoves. Hands that were close together, Not using his stick to make it a cross check. With all 3 shoves.
Mathews cross checked for both. The first initial retaliation before getting knocked down, and then again to the face after. Not using his hands to make contact and make them both cross checks with his stick.
Same thing with the Ovi example. While yes, a soft call (maybe embellishment), still crosschecking. Hands wide apart not using to push the player, but using the stick as the point of contact.
Lacrosse rules
This is the correct take. What Dahlin was doing was clearing Matthews from the net by pushing using his stick, but that's not cross checking. Happens literally 100s of times a game. Matthews on the other hand was a two handed full bore cross check to the head. That has to be a suspension every single time. No place in the game for that.
I'm glad someone sees this correctly. Thank you for the sane post. :)
Exactly, Dahlin was pushing Matthews, not cross-checking. Matthews, basically, went for the intent to injure Dahlin, didn't look like he held back with those cross-checks, especially the one which got Dahlin on the side of the neck. Potentially, a life/career ending injury right there, Dahlin took it like a champ.
Exactly!
Game 5 in the 2019 finals, missed call on Noel Acciari getting slew footed which led to the game winning goal for the Blues giving them a 3-2 lead in the series.
Not to mention the uncalled interference on Zuccarello that kept the Blues from being eliminated by Dallas
Blues 2019 Stanley Cup was the biggest fluke in recent hockey history
Wasn’t going to write this comment, glad to see others think that was bullshit and one of the biggest missed calls ever.
@@OhZech lol cry about it. That team had depth scoring, experience, a great coach, a good blue line, leadership and a hot goalie. But keep telling yourself it was a fluke.
Game 1 of the 2019 finals, Krug charges Robert Thomas taking him out for the rest of
The series.
Preds disallowed goal game 6, cup final 2017 hands down. That early whistle sent us from contenders to a first round sweep. That was our chance. I still think Pens would've won a possible game 7 in Pittsburgh, but we'll never know what could've been.
Thats nothing compared to the missed goal call on Calgary back in 2004
@@TheAlphapuck5280 it was what he’s seen not what do u thinks the worst all time
I hope Nashville never experiences the joy of winning a cup.
@@TheAlphapuck5280 that wasn't a missed call sorry

I realize there’s already plenty of representation of Wings disallowed goals in this video, but the one that pisses me off to this day is the waived off Marian Hossa goal in the last minute of Gm.3 of the 2009 series against Anaheim. That was the first time I’d ever heard of that “intent to blow the whistle” rule. The Wings had to slog through 7 games of that series and went limping into the finals. If that goal is allowed, maybe in an alternate universe, the Wings finish off the ducks in 5 or 6 and have just enough in the tank to beat Pittsburgh in the finals.
Fun fact about the first goal : stephane auger is one of the refs on this one and he's a consultant for one of the broadcast networks in quebec. Imagine consulting this guy about referee calls lol.
Still to me the worst call was in a Penguins vs Rangers game when Sidney Crosby was called for a penalty, was in the box, the ref announced the penalty the puck was dropped and a few seconds later the ref blew the whistle and escorted Crosby out of the box saying there was no penalty on the play. Huh? I’m a former ref and I still don’t understand that decision.
2019 playoffs. Blues vs Sharks, the infamous hand pass game as everyone in St. Louis calls it. Game 3 in the series, Timo Meier. Gotta look it up.
If you ever make a part 2, you need to talk about last year's game between the Jackets and Hurricanes.
Carolina scores, but the Jackets challenge because of an offside. The refs somehow miss the offside and give Columbus a two minute penalty for delay of game as the period comes to an end.
BUT! The refs actually realize during the intermission that yes, there was an offside, so coming back for the next period, they cancel what was left of Carolina's power play. But Carolina keeps the goal that should have been disallowed. I've honestly never seen anything like it before or since in my life
That was such a dang-it.
That was one of the most bush-league things I've ever seen. And my team BENEFITED from it lol. I can't imagine how CBJ fans felt
@@lokei1326A fellow person of culture I see!
I instantly thought of flames/lightning 04 disallowed goal, GFG 🔥
Same
Game 6, they would have won the cup!
2009? cup finals wings v pens. Pittsburgh had 7 guys on the ice for about 1:30 with the bench screaming at the refs and they refused to look around and blow the whistle, then a d man finally got off the ice and they tied the game a few seconds later and won in ot
Its Pittsburgh, what doesnt go their way? The NHL rigged a draft for them, obviously theyre allowed to have 7 men on the ice.
I was just a kid but that Montreal-Carolina series still makes me angry just to think about it! Carolina was so dirty! 😡
Carolina had zero business beating Buffalo and it took them 7 games to beat a bad Oilers team that also had zero business being there. That Canes team is and always will be a joke.
@@axe2grind244 hahahah what?? That team was stacked up front. Rode a hot rookie goaltender who ended up being one of the better goalies of his era. That “joke” of a team will forever be engraved on the Stanley cup, and you can suck on it
Carolina was the better team by far. Montreal got lucky Carolinas starting goalie Martin Gerber had the flu the first 2 games and played awful. That was the only reason they were up 2-0. Carolina was “so dirty”? The player who high sticked koivu was Justin Williams. Not a guy known for being a goon or giving out cheap shots. It was obviously an accident. Get over it frenchie boy
@@axe2grind244 they wouldn't have won if it weren't for the sabres being forced to play their 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th defensemen. Playing in the conference finals with ahl'ers tells you just how good and deep that team was
Carolina has Buffalo's Cup #Facts
To be fair with the cross checking call, it’s cross checking when your hands are apart from each hand while holding on to the stick.. and some people don’t realize that, but if you put your hands together with the stick and shove, it’s actually not a penalty.. (I’m a hockey player and reffed a little bit)
Exactly 👍
Cool I learned something
Should’ve included the infamous 99’ finals “skate in the crease” call in buffalo
the dahlin matthews incident was a scrum from both players, and then matthews crosschecked dahlin in the neck. i dont see the controversy.
Except dahlin shouldve went to the penalty box before Matthew's had the chance to retaliate
@@austinneveau9387 do that and we would have a discussion how soft NHL was.. that scrum went on that entire shift.
@@austinneveau9387 for what? A net front battle? Bc ghat never happens in a hockey game
He’s trying to equate pushing a guy with your gloves and using your stick to push and clear the front of the net with full blown cross checking. There is a big difference. His example there is completely nonsensical
@@austinneveau9387 For what? Lmao he wasn’t cross checking, he was pushing him. It’s hockey. This happens to anyone trying to get screen the goalie.
Hi Ron :) thanks for the video... maybe an idea for a new one?
Tampa commentator said a couple of nights ago that McDonagh has never missed playoffs in his carreer (yet), I thought it could be interesting to take a look at longest playoff streaks in modern era? Are there many who have never missed playoffs in their entire carreers? Thanks :) have a good one.
The reffing has been the worse that I can remember this year. It’s so bad that I don’t even get mad anymore I just laugh 😂
Sorry to say Dahlins "crosscheck" was him pushing with his gloves not his stick. Interference maybe but not a crosscheck
Exactly. And, I don't think an interference penalty would be called when a defending player is trying to remove an opponent from the goal crease. Dahlin is making a legal "hockey play" and Matthews is just trying to stand his ground.
Yep, not a crosscheck
Matthews is so scummy, he retaliated with a cross check to the head trying to hurt Dahlin because he was getting manhandled.
@@tomhull1276 clearing the net? by crosschecking him into the crossbar from the numbers? the first one was hands the second one he separated them to hide a crosscheck, if the play wasn't called dead on the attempt to hit matthews into the crossbar then it should've been let to continue
@@IcyMantaray You clearly don't want to see the difference between a crosscheck or a push with both hands close to each other... I guess you are a Matthews-fanboi with those eyes. 🤓
Jared Spurgeon trying to break Pavel Buchnevich ankles should have been a suspension.
The one I remember was 2019 when Ottawa Senators got too many men penalty, then after that Colorado Avalanche was doing a change and one of the Avalanche players going over boards and then touched the puck, no call for too many men, doing the same thing that Ottawa senators did, and I still remember it, I was yelling at the TV going "What the hell" I was surprised no refs even called it
You forgot the goal call from the 1999 Sabres Stars Stanley Cup final. The NHL has literally said that THE goal that resulted in the Stars winning the whole thing was ILLEGAL but since they had already awarded the cup and the Sabres were off the ice they just let it go.
“But this isn’t a penalty?” 2 handed push with gloves on lol.
It's the Auston Matthew's rose tinted goggles.
Well considering Matthews was no where close to the puck, yes it is a penalty, it's called "interference".
Yeah I had to rewind a couple times to try to see where "Dahlin cross-checked Matthews several times". Still can't find that part 🤷🏻♂️
Absolute great video. I forgot about a bunch of these horrible calls.
As a referee the dispute rule makes sense. From when you see that a puck is dead to when you actually blow the whistle they is a slight delay. For example, goalie covers puck, referee may have to raise the whistle to mouth to blow it dead, however the play was dead before the ref blew the whistle.
That sounds great, and yet players were still playing. A. And B. the puck was clearly not dead in that situation so the intent to blow shouldn't really matter because the puck just happened to squeak through but the ref "intended" to call it dead?
I agree that the rule itself was fine, but in the example used in the video it was very improperly applied
@@charlesmclearn4642 yeah the example used was complete trash. terrible call lmao.
I’m also a referee. I find it comical hearing the complaints about “intent to blow the whistle” and when the “whistle was actually blown” or “the puck clearly wasn’t covered” while watching it from the overhead or goal camera angle….did y’all ever consider that the official is not in the middle of the play or watching from inside the net? The home team players/coaches/crowd/parents don’t seem to get upset when there a penalty called against the visiting/opposing team. I’m not sure why though…🤔🤔🤔
@@brianjohnson7484 Dude refs get one look at a play at full speed and from most times at a non optimized angle. Fans and review get all angles in slow motion multiple times. Fans can be brutal sometimes lol. In addition, call a penalty on the ice is harder than calling a penalty in the stands because of perspective, and at ice level you actually see less because of moving bodies in front of you.
The clip you used of Dahlin "crosschecking" Matthews, doesn't look like one. Sure looks like he only has one hand on the stick when he actually contacts him. The first hit to Matthews could have been a crosscheck, but I haven't seen a good angle. The second one doesn't look like it to me. Matthews did clearly crosscheck Dahlin twice though.
Cross checking or not I dont want to see a dude not playing hockey and instead is focused on knocking someone over. And then Matthew's gets suspended because he retaliated to that bs? It couldve been avoided if the refs did their job.
Matthews didnt even have the puck lmao
@@austinneveau9387 Dahlin dod play hom aggressively after the hit Matthews gave him against the boards, but otherwise its clearing the front of the net. Happens constantly in every game. As soon as Mathews got up he gave Dahlin a hard cross check in the arm, befie the clip this video showed. It was pretty much normal hockey until the crosscheck to the neck.
@@asidethestart clearing the net you would push from behind he pushed him into the net
@@korynorman7837 well you definitely don't want to leave someone untouched in front of the net. Again I think Dahlin was more aggressive because the hit from earlier (although that hit seemed legal to me), but pushing a player in the crease is not a penalty to my knowledge. The cross check Matthews gave right after certainley was, but the refs let it go. I just dont understand these takes that Matthews was somehow the victim in all this. Leafs got lucky that he wasnt ejected.
The Horcoff “glove pass” was in the season after the cup run.
The hand pass from the Oilers was actually the next season in 06-07 (pretty sure it was in November). The next meeting the two teams had was Stefan missing the empty net which kinda seems like karma in a way
Given the Oilers coach was wearing a poppy in the footage, this makes sense.
That first one was just a part of the NHL fixing games. The only argument for "meant to blow the whistle" is if he meant to blow it before the shot was taken. The ref only lost view of the puck after it was in the net.
Hey there rob, I'm a ref. The first one for the "intent to blow the whistle", I've actually had to do this in local AA and A level hockey games. Usually for us, if we loose track of the puck, we have to blow it down, and if our linesman cant find it. And the intent to blow the whistle, You can't just blow the play down instantly, So giving the play goes on, the ref would probably blow the play down closer to a seccond earlier if we could blow the whistle down right then and there as we thought to. If our arms are going up, or we need to whistle it down, we do it. In our heads we think the play stops, and we react as quick as possible to stop the play, if after that little switch in our head for "dead play" is flipped, goals after it will be waved off.
2019 game 5 missed trip on Noel acciari completed changed the momentum of that cup run. That game goes into overtime if that doesn’t happen and Boston could’ve even won this series in 6 games with this call being made.
FUCKING FINALLY
It was a poor call indeed, but I don't think it changed the momentum of the series too much. Whoever lost game 5 was probably going to win game 6 imo. It was also a potential embellishment.
@@thebaconmanthony that’s not embellishment. His foot was over his head that’s not physically possible.
Poor Holmström, the king/victim of reputation calls.
I could be wrong, but I think the rule during the 92-93 season was if you high-sticked someone and it drew blood, you were out of the game, not just a double a minor like it is now. So Gretzky would have been completely ejected. If they called the high stick, by definition, they would have had to kick him out. I could be wrong, maybe someone can confirm?
Trust me, Toronto's never gonna forget the Gilmour non call. - Nice music btw is that Goldeneye 64? I like your style bro lmao.
The Matthews crosscheck was dirty, Dahlin’s play was fine
That Matthews call was correct it was a net front battle with pushing maybe one cross check to the hip from dahlin the cross check to the neck was completely uncalled for
This playoffs has got to be the worst officiating I’ve ever seen , nothing you can say about speed/ice level can save them either it’s like they’re not even out there sometimes
The first one is actually even worse, the reason why the ref "intended to blow the whistle" was because he lost sight of the puck, because it was in the net. Scoring the goal was the condition that made it possible for the goal to be discounted. That whole rule is insane and it's a wonder it rarely comes up. That rule literally says that the only game that actually matters is the one the refs see. Think about how absurd that is, everybody in the building could see it happen, but if 2 people in stripped jerseys don't, then it might as well have never happened at all.
I still can't believe the refs didn't call Gretzky for the high stick on Gilmour. The league didn't even step in and give Gretzky a 1 game suspension or even a fine for the high stick.
I personally believe we should boycott the NHL for missed calls like that sometimes and force the refs to penalize generational talents when need be and catch them on their Bull crap.
Rasmus Dahlin and Auston Matthews both should’ve got 2 minute minors for roughing, but Matthews sure as hell deserves the 2 game suspension as it was a cross check right to the neck. Dahlin didn’t deserve any games because they were not brutal cross checks or anything. But Matthews’ cross check was brutal so I think Matthews deserved the suspension.
I really appreciate the 007 goldeneye music in the background. Thanks for that.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. "Let them play" is one thing, but when dirty plays are being made refs need to call them, because when they don't that's when players take matters into their own hands and players get injured. Honestly when injuries happen in games the refs on duty should get inquiries against them just as much as the players who committed the infraction.
Bad take on the matthews/dahlin play. Quite obvious matthews was just frustrated after dahlin PUSHED him around and he snapped.
One of the best hockey youtubers out there 🙌
Thanks brother!
I don't know if you have any interest in football (soccer) but if you do and understand the rules enough or are willing to learn them, take a look at the missed calls in the English Premier League this season. I hardly watch hockey anymore but I come back to see videos like this to make me feel better about the refs in the EPL.
Maybe watching the useless EPL refs can make you feel better about the zebras in the NHL.
As a Liverpool fan I always have had a bone to pick with PGMOL and their handling of our matches, especially when it’s Paul Tierney involved in any capacity it really makes you think that there is an agenda against the Reds with the decisions he has made when officiating Liverpool matches.
First time I heard someone who isn't a die hard Leaf fan acknowledge that Dahlin play. It's actually nice to see people talk about the inconsistency there.
It was a net front battle it’s ok to cross check someone in the hip in front of the net it didn’t call for a cross check to the net
0:25 My dad: *smiles proudly*
Wow, the no goal for embelishement was so stupid. I can understand thata ref won't see everything in the heat of the game. But that one feel like it is some sort of vendetta.
How about the 1999 Stanley Cup that was "won" by Dallas despite Brett Hull CLEARLY having his foot in the crease and as such, that goal shouldn't ever have counted!
I remember that era where a toe in the crease would nullify the goal. Something I hated so much, yet thinking about is oddly nostalgic.
I love the video format. You should've named it call instead of calls and make it lead up to the worst one. Makes it more suspenseful and more clickbait. Love the content hope you see this.
That first clip of Montreal was clear embellishment 😂
In Europe head hits and cross checks are automaticly 2+10mins penalty so the players would not hit to head again and if they do it will be 5+20
The hand pass goal against the Flyers that the refs told the coach he wasn't allowed to challenge... then the NHL announced during the game that it was the refs mistake, yet they never fixed it. It's the worst thing I've ever seen a ref do to a team. Hands down.
Can't forget the Stars' cup-winning no goal as well.
I absolutely love the elevator music in the background of all the chaos and rage.
I'm not a Red Wings fan, but the Brad May goal should've counted 110%. The whistle was after the puck was in the net. Today that play would be a goal after discussion with the situation room in Toronto. Many of these plays have resulted in rule changes, but it's sad that it takes a play like that to make a change.
gotta say, bad calls do suck, but screaming “ref you suck” at a game has to be one of my favorite things.
this definitely needs a part 2-999
Oooooh man, I had completely forgotten about the Koivu high stick!
A "worst missed calls" video that doesn't include 2017 EDM/ANA Kesler wrapping his arm and stick around Talbot's pad and pulling NOT be considered goaltender interference on **VIDEO REVIEW** ?? I mean Kesler forced open the 5-hole that Rackell scored through. Unbelievable blown call that cost the Oilers a series win right there.
That 1st detroit intent to blow wistle lol that was crazy lol 😅😅😅
2017 2nd round Oilers vs Ducks Game 5. Kessler holding one of Talbot pads.
intent to blow the whistle takes into account that our nervous system takes a little bit of time to process what we are seeing, decide how to respond, and then cause us to respond
Thank you for saying that abt matthews it needed to be said
Speaking of" back in the day " in general before goalies started playing the "flop around on their knees" style, wraparound goals were far less common. When I played in the dark ages of the 60s - 70s, if a goalie let one in like that the coach would go nuts on us for what was then perceived as "weak goals." How the game has changed.
Why the heck are they calling net Front Presence a Penalty?! It doesn't make any fucking sense! No way!
The take on the Dahlin cross check is poor. Dahlin got a cross check to his head, Matthews was cross checked on his body, the two are not the same. One can cause serious injury (the matthews cross check) and the other is commonly used to remove a player from in front of the net (the Dahlin cross check). Just because you’re obviously a Leafs fan does not mean all calls against the Leafs are egregious.
he's not a Leafs fan
Fr that take is so dumb. There are Cross checks all the time to the body and Matthews went straight to the head
1 he isn't a leafs fan 2 super soft cross-checks were called in the season 3 tell that oh it's only to the body to the plethora of players who had upper body career ending injuries due to those cross-checks.
Also, Dahlin is defending the goal area. He also use more soft gloves then stick. Pretty easy call.
@@itsbrucie1662 he's comparing it to the ovi cross check
Are from around Winnipeg? You have the same accent as two people I know from Winnipeg. It's the way you pronounce you're t's like in "net", "yet", "spot" and "not" to list a few. I noticed it immediately.
Cannot believe you left out the infamous 99 no goal
THIS, this is exactly the reason why I have zero belief in the sanctity of the NHL anymore. Why I absolutely believe that the NHL has been systemically keeping Canadian teams from winning the cup. This video right here, is exhibit A in the argument that they don't want Canadian teams to win the cup.
It isn’t coincidence that a Canadian team hasn’t won a Cup since the 1993 Canadiens and who was the commissioner then? Right it was Bettman and he has really shown an anti-Canadian bias in his tenure. You don’t have to look any further than the infamous Game 6 between Tampa and Calgary where Gélinas had a perfectly good goal disallowed that would have won Calgary their second Cup, the puck had clearly crossed the line as well but nope the zebras 🦓 hadn’t gotten their complimentary glasses 👓 from SpecSavers.
Nothing worse than the zebras ruining to outcome of a game.
Keep up the great vids. Stay Happy and Healthy
Wings vs Kings a few years ago. A high shot off the netting above the glass, came back into play and wings scored. the ref's allowed the goal.
You missed the San Jose hand pass leading to the OT winner against the Blues that Helen Keller would have seen.
Before i even watch this I’m sure the classic Wayne Gretzky & Doug Gilmour incident will be on this list lol & Kery Fraser as the referee. Geez that series between Toronto & L.A. in 1993 is just shy of 30yrs ago already.
austin matthews one was a fair 2 games tbh, but i agree with the rest of your takes.
The Oilers hand pass call was actually during the 2006-07 season, the season following their cup run. You can tell because McGeough is wearing a helmet lol
That embelishment no goal at the begining is totally insane
one of the most recent bullshit ref moments was when during round 2 of this years playoffs leafs vs bolts when a leafs player get's shoved into the net and tampa doesn't get a call and then a bolts player trips marner and no call. and then a leafs player lightly touches a guy and get's a 2 min pp.
I guess the ‘93 illegal stick called against the Kings during the Finals was hockey karma for the Leafs series haha
McSorley is a hero here in MTL :D
Looking forward to seeing your video on all of the penalties we've seen in the playoffs this year! It's been quite amazing to see how many there have been tbh. I am all for player safety, and I would ideally like to see body contact removed from the game altogether, as well as cages introduced, but seeing half the period having penalties, it's weird.
You should go watch golf then.
@@drossi101 No thanks, that game is too slow and uneventful for me. I'd much rather watch hockey!
@@AnHourOfWolves doesn’t sound like it.
havent watched the vid yet, but i fully expect Las superman Punch goal to be in there
The Shaw headbutt goal comes to mind for me. I know it wasn’t on the refs but it’s still a stupid rule.
consistency is the problem here. Even within the same game. they will let things go all game, then all of a sudden late in the 3rd decide "oh thats now a penalty"
Ref's set a precedent for whats allowed and whats not, when they change it throughout a game, they are literally deciding the fate of the game.
This video ageing like fine wine after game 5 of the battle of alberta
Many years ago, New Jersey vs. Toronto. New Jersey knocks the Toronto net off to the point it was sitting backwards against the end boards. David Clarkson shoots the puck across the goal line and the Refs called it a goal because it would have crossed the line IF the net had been in place. Never mind the Leafs goalie has been knocked into the corner. The single dumbest call I have ever seen.
Thought you'd go over the Flames scoring to win the Cup but the goal not being counted would be on this.
the whole MTL VGK series last year had some of the worst reffing I’ve ever seen
I remember that series for flowers fumble that cost VGK the series
I'm a bit surprised those infamous Hawks vs Canucks goals of the 2009, 2010 and 2011 playoff matchups involving the Hawks scoring goals with Dustin Byfuglien literally holding Luongo down on the ice creating an empty net and no goalie interference being called?! For the first 2 of those 3 series, the Hawks would win round 1 on those blown calls and one of them led to the Hawks winning a series and going on to win the Cup, that if you took away those illegal goals, would have gone to the Canucks, NOT the Hawks winning in 2009, 2010 AND 2011. In 2011, then GM Mike Gillis finally had had enough and called the league out for bad/corrupt officiating and with the world watching, the refs were forced to call the final 3 games of that series fair. The Canucks won and went on to come within 1 win of finally winning the Stanley Cup, before another rash of some of the worst calls costing them the Cup. I'm talking plays like Todd Marchand repeatedly punching Hendrick Sedin in the face, no call, Hendrick finally has had enough and facewashes Marchand, penalty! AND Canuck hot prospect, the speedy Mason Raymond, was causing the Bruins fits with his speed, until another Bruin ended his season by holding Raymond folded over like a pretzel and ramming him head first into the boards while crumpled up in a dangerous position, causing a BROKEN NECK which could have been deadly, no call, no suspension, the league saying that was a LEGAL HIT! LEGAL! Are you EFFING KIDDING ME!? Raymond missed most of the next season, and when he finally did come back from that broken neck injury, he was no longer the blaze of speed he once was and his career faded into nothing much. He could have been one of the game's big stars, but for all those blown calls. Had the refs been calling dirty plays all along, that dirty hit would likely never have happened as the Bruin who did it would have expected it to be 5 minute match penalty for intentional attempt to injure, and would also have probably meant him being suspended for at least the rest of the playoffs. Knowing those dirty plays weren't being called, they felt they could take liberties they may not have otherwise.
I saw those calls mainly because, I watch mostly Canucks games, but I do know that crap goes on for many other teams and it needs to stop. I know the excuse is "let them play the game" by letting them not play the game and just play some sort of weird WWE/NHL hybrid game in the playoffs where the rules aren't the rules, they're just suggestions the refs and players can follow or ignore as they see fit. That's NOT "playing the game" that's ruining the game. Letting them play the game would mean calling the rules that define what the game is as fairly, and competently as possible. If a ref sees an infraction, JUST CALL IT. I don't care if it's the first shift of the first game of exhibition play and Joe Nobody breaks a rule on Auston Matthews, or overtime in game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals and Sydney Crosby just committed a penalty on Joe Nobody. If the rules say it's a penalty, it's a penalty, no matter who did what to who, or when. A penalty is a penalty is a penalty. Call it like that and I guarantee you'd have a lot less confusion about what will or won't be called, and a lot less controversy that's only a humiliation for the league and makes the NHL look like a bush league.
How is the Matthew's/Dahlin thing even in here? Hand placement is key there. Dahlin was pushing Matthew's with his hands much closer together on the stick. Matthew's delivered a full blown cross check with his hands spread fairly far apart in order to use the stick as a "weapon"
I say this as an Edmonton fan who has a secret love for the Flames (not enough for them to win of course): I want a repeat of 2004; I want the Flames go all the way until they lose in game 7 of the Stanley Cup final with the game-winning goal being the result of controversial goal scored by a Florida team (don't care which one).
Ouch.
I'm betting it will be the Oilers vs Lighting
@@Tre16 You’re crazy if you think the oilers have a chance against the Avs lol. Stanley cup will be Avs/ lightning.
@@drossi101 fools said the same about beating the Flames, yet here we are. Go Oilers.
@@Tre16 Lmao yeah maybe flames fans. Those two teams were evenly matched. Avs would have steam rolled either team. Flames and oilers never had a chance against blues or Avs. They barely made it by LA 😂
I can put up with some of the on-ice miscalls as I understand the refs have a great deal to watch and, as stated in the video, hockey is an incredibly fast game up close. The first time I saw a game sitting in row 6, I nearly lost my mind as I had always watched from the nose bleeds previously. It was a completely different game.
What I can't stand is the Toronto reviewing group who have multiple angles of clear video and consistently f*ck up every single call when asked to review. They either don't know what they are doing or, somehow, have an agenda to pick winners and losers. THEY ARE TERRIBLE and, if that's the best they can do, the NHL needs to get rid of video replay and just suffer with the bad calls by the refs within the game.
Could do a whole video on the habs vs vegas series last year
Miss the Sunday morning uploads😭
They will be back 🙌🏻
@@RobTalksHockey thx let’s gooo! Every Sunday morning waking up I would always watch these
Intent to blow the whistle gotta be one of the stupidest rules ever thought up. Same beat as the bell doesn't dismiss you I do.
2006 missed high-stick did not cost Montreal the game. A major infraction world be made if there was INTENT. That was a inadvertant high-stick resulting in an injury.
Ottawa soccer kick goal in the series vs the habs was pure pain
For the sharks, the Clowe play from the bench or the league changing Meier hand pass
Dahlin's "crosscheck" was nothing, maybe interference at most... Matthews clearly cross-checked him in the head afterwards in retaliation. Good call.
