The stars weren't shining over Dallas last night...

[frog hopping kilik]

So, I remember when the Rangers beat the Canucks in 7 in 1994. I was actually a Rangers fan at that point, because I was living in my old hometown in NY State. There was wild partying in NYC when the Rangers took the cup, but it actually stayed clean and fairly orderly. On the other hand, there was violent rioting in Vancouver. People flipped cars and smashed windows and stuff, all because a hockey team lost the Cup finals. Yikes.<

I only remember one really bad call from that series, and that was one that went against the Rangers in Game 6. With Vancouver up 3-1, the Canucks scored a disputed goal that the refs overturned, and about 30 seconds later the Rangers tallied one to make it 3-2. However, a few seconds later, the refs decided to overturn the Vancouver goal and make the score 4-1 Vancouver. Maybe the goal should have counted, but after tallying a New York goal? <

I remember that goal, but if I remember correctly, the goal was being dispuited by the judges throughout the third period, and after going over the tape of the shot about 50 times (in usual referee speed), they decided that the goal should count. <i></i>

[DEVILRAYS]

It's still ridiculous that they let play continue before overturning the call, let alone watching the Rangers pull within a goal. The only thing worse than a ref's poor decision is a ref's indecision... <

Hey!!.... Well, yeah, I can't argue with that. I personally think that they should have delayed the game until the goal had been decided upon. And they definatly should NOT have been able to give the goal after such a long period of time. Likewise, they should not have pissed off the Canadians by giving the goal to NY in the last game..... gr......<

And in other news tonight, the Canucks and the NY Rangers team up and beat the reft 50 punches to 12, earning a crushing victory!!!<

[Tanthalasis]

Refs could actually get 12 punches in...?? I dun think so. We have 6' 6" 250 lbs. hockey
uisers, vs. 5' 0" 85 lbs. crappy refs. One sided fight? Yes. Do I care? No. Do I think that's what should happen every time there's a discrepancy in a call? DEFINATLY! <
><
>In other hockey related news. I think the NHL is screwing with Canadians. Tonight is Vancouver vs. Toronto. Later in the week is Toronto vs. Edmonton, Vancouver vs. Calgary, then Vancouver vs. Edmonton. This is NOT fair. Crappy NHL people.... Oh well, one game I <i> DO</i> want to watch is the NY vs. NY game.<
><
>MWAHAHAHAHA <i></i>

[DEVILRAYS]

I don't remember an OT goal; I could have sworn Game 7 was settled in regulation, though...on the other hand, if it WAS an overtime goal, most likely the reason they called it a goal was because it was the series-winner, just like in '99 when the Stars got a disputed goal but the refs didn't overturn it for THAT reason. (Wario, don't even start with that; by rule it was a no-goal. Granted they changed the rule the next year, but by those rules it was not. But because it was the Cup-winner, they gave it to the Stars.) <

You don't remember the OT? Overtime went on for about 3 or 4 periods... You don't remember? Oh, well. I can't remember what I did yesterday, so I can't blame you.<

*Starts anyway*<
><
>Sigh... D-Rays, it WAS a legal goal because he RETAINED THE PUCK.. He didn't give it to another and have him score the goal.. He KEPT IT AND SCORED HIMSELF!!! THAT'S WHY he was given the goal... NOT because it was the "Cup Winner." <i></i>

**turns to the guy in the black-and-white-striped suit** Get out the instant replay thingy again; it's time to settle another Roundtable myth once and for all.<

>And while we're on the subject of Cup-winners, I checked the Hockey Database and it made no mention of the 7th game of the '94 Cup Finals going to overtime. <

[NOAImawario]

The Refs were saying because he RETAINED the puck is the reason it was a goal... that was IN the rulebook at the time too.... <i>Edited by: NOAImawario  at: 1/26/02 5:09:55 am<

[DEVILRAYS]

OK, I looked it up. Apparently Hull was the only one whose skate was in the crease, and he somehow managed to hang onto the puck. The refs say it was a goal for that reason, but the Sa
es insist that shouldn't count because of the skate in the crease, which probably has SOME backing to it SOMEWHERE in the NHL rulebook. All I could find was stories and explanations, and even a picture, but no reference to a rulebook. It's probably as obscure a rule as the one they got the Raiders with last week. <

[Nakor BlueRider]

Yeah, that sounds about right; the goal should not have counted because of a skate in the crease. At the time a goal could not count if a player had their skate in the crease, so the goal shouldn't have counted, but the refs called it a goal anyway, which is why everybody was so mad (and still are). <i>Oh, such a horror!<

[Tanthalasis]

I dunno. I think the refs were trying to make enemies there. They succeeded to. I've talked to many a hockey watcher, most of which don't even like the Canuckleheads, and they even say it was a very bad call. My uncle, with whom I have constant arguments over regarding hockey, players and teams, says it was a bad call. And he purposly tries to NEVER agree with me, so that's saying alot.<
