The Leafs dominated and their winning goal was not seen by the refs, so the Nucks got lucky. If the high point of the season is being gifted a nothing game, that just shows the sad state of the Nucks. They should hang a banner about last night's game I guess.

You mean the goal that no camera angle could conclusively say went in? At all. Which means no goal. Leafs may have dominated (which they should have) but that was the correct call. On to the next one

With the technology available today, it seems a little absurd that a puck over the line cannot be detected electronically. There is no way a goalie should be able to hide a puck that has clearly crossed the goal line.. Some form of Lidar sensing technology would be way more acccurate than watching a replay of a goalie with massive equiment doing everything possible to hide the puck from the camera.

I don’t want a goal called because a puck was detected electronically. I want to see the puck in the net. If the goalie is able to cover it up, good fit him, it’s part of how you play the position. Gary Bettman wearing a tinfoil contraption on his head deciding on goals doesn’t work for me.

Nah a goal is a goal and a goalie getting lucky with how the puck goes in the net doesn't work for me.

The goal the ref wasn't in proper position to observe, the goal that was a gift from the hockey gods to Vancouver. So it goes. Go Leafs.

You forget how incompetently blind they were on the goal earlier in the game too. Ref struggled to know if a puck went in or not all game.

Roope Hintz with another two points yesterday, to have 37 points in 32 games.
He's now in top 20 (11th) in NHL in points/games played. (playing 18mins a night, including PK -- Dallas likes to give all 4 lines good TOI).

In the meantime, Willie the floater cannot be bothered to show up on time for a team meeting - obliging his coach to leave him out of the lineup while he was actually playing well last game...

Beware the Oilers of Edmonton.

Their schedule in May is as soft as Willie’s hair.

We need to put up points.

A goal is a goal when they have a face off at centre ice and a point goes up on the board. I don’t want some opaque technological process based on GPS that nobody but NHL officials in the war room can access to determine goals. I want videos that we can all see and argue over to determine goals. I’m willing to live with inconclusive evidence.

you are completely right - in particular considering that using gps type of technology (working with millimetres to decide whether goal or not) would mean as well that game should be stopped when the goalposts move 1mm (which happens quite a lot during the games with the goalie and players making contact with the goalposts).
so the nhl officials + cameras are ok enough, and probably the most optimal solution.

This is like calling strikes in baseball. A strike is a strike. Goal is a goal. The correct call is the one we should get.

The main thing they need to do is widen the net by six inches and raise it by four.

In theory yes, you are a absolutely spot on... this is also a league that can barely handle offsides replay not to mention player safety...

Now we want them all GPS’d up on goals also.... no thanks on that...

Sorry but I want to see the video of the crossing the line not have Gary Bettman sitting in front of a computer looking at lines and listening to submarines beeps that no one else can see or hear to pronounce no goal or goal.

Video replay to make the determination allows us to be involved at least in arguing one way or the other. And if it’s inconclusive from all the camera angles, thems the breaks. And if the goalie knows how to cover it up, smart goalie.

No.

If the puck is in the net it should be called a good goal despite the goalie's best efforts to cheat. If Gary Bettman has to wear a tinfoil contraption on his head, even better!

Well if showing the goalie pull it out of the net isn't enough, nothing ever will be.

If there was a technology available that could instantaneously determine if a puck entered the net, why would you push back on it?

Smells a lot like #getoffmylawn.

Cool, use video replay. We can argue about whether the puck went in after the play was over. We can all see it and argue over it.

The idea that there is some absolute scientific way to determine if there’s a goal that everyone will accept is absurd. Will everyone run out and buy the home NHL GPS system and run our own simulations and then argue about it here?

Hard to believe, but we found an issue CC and I 100% agree on
