I'm stunned. I never thought a "Button" could think.

It does not matter how hard it was the push

That is correct however, however however, it cannot be overturn on a replay. Sam Bennett cross, checked the Boston Bruins into his own goalie. The call was missed. You’re not allowed to call a penalty based on something that happened on the replay so there’s nothing at the NHL can do. Their hands were tied.

If somebody goes into their own goalie, it’s not interference. It would be another penalty like in this case it would be cross checking and other cases it would be an interference call, not a goalie interference. The penalty was not called on the ice therefore they had no choice, but to let the call Stand

This is wrong. If attacking player pushes shoves or fouls defending player into his own goalie it is viewed as attacking player initiating the contact. Here Coyle was already in the crease and would've been in Swaymans way even without the push and also Swayman was way out of position to make it back.

*The penalty was not called on the ice therefore they had no choice, but to let the call Stand* You are correct that they can't call a penalty based on replay, but interference doesn't require a penalty having been called so the goal could still have been disallowed.

Same no dog in this fight but that was terrible

Nah, it’s the NHL telling him what to say. They’re pushing Florida as a team and it didn’t matter how good any team that plays Florida really is, they’re going to go to the finals no matter what.

Goal or no goal it doesn’t really matter. The burins were spent by the third period, Florida would’ve won that game regardless

@@theshawnkelly bro the Bruins are terrible, are you blind? 🤣

He had no chance of getting to that puck and was not trying to slide over. That matters in the call

You must be new to hockey, not everything that gets called in the regular season gets called in the playoffs. If it was called the same we'd be seeing like 8 powerplays per team each game. The intensity is higher, grow a set.

⁠​⁠No, you must be new to hockey, blatant goalie interference plays like this one always get called in the playoffs too. Big hits, slashings and maybe some interference plays don’t get called as often in the playoffs, you’re right, but not obvious goaltender interference like this one.

Tampa did interfere twice

​@Tyekiller115 yes and Florida interfered once. But only one team had the rules enforced against them.

@@uppymcdowny58 lol that’s a joke

Exactly. What a profoundly stupid take.

Fucking right? How many goals have we seen taken back because the goalie was lightly brushed but realistically had zero or practically zero impact on the actual play? Now all of a sudden we can deem a play isnt goalie interference because "he wouldnt have stopped it anyway"? At this point just change the rule to "goaltender interference occurs whenever Toronto feels like it"

Hmm defender in the crease on his own. Attacker hardly cross-check him or push him in the back. The push wasn't so hard otherwise the attacker would have gone backwards or forwards if he used a lot of force. Defender was out of position on his own. He should have push the attacker away from the crease and not been in the crease with his back turned.

⁠@@dolphins2170huh? I don’t even know how to respond to this ridiculous defense of what happened. Just watch the play my man. if Bennett doesn’t push coyle into the goalie then coyle is there to disrupt the play and swayman wasn’t given the opportunity to even get over there. I agree in general the push wasn’t that bad and if Swayman isn’t there coil probably doesn’t fall but again he was there and that is why it was interference , but you can’t do something like that to get an advantage and then score a goal. That is literally why it is a penalty.

@@JJG85 Defense job to keep the crease clear for the goalie to have free movement. The defender f-ed up he should have played his man and drove him from the top of the crease and tied up his stick or raise off the ice in order to keep him from getting a shot off Hockey 101. Basics

@@dolphins2170I get it you are disappointed that coyle didn’t do what you think he should have. Doesn’t change what Bennett did. That’s like saying a goal should count that was batted in with a clear high stick because the defender wasn’t playing good enough defense.

@@JJG85 like I said it was barely a push or cross-check the defense men was already in the crease next to the goalie the attacker stayed out of the crease. Good Goal no matter how you feel about it. Boston should be playing neutral zone trap or a left wing lock type of defense.

Useless Sam? And Squirrel Cheeks/MvAvoy the dirtiest scumbag player on the Bruins.....he has always been a P.O. S. and lives in the sin bin. Sam at least SCORES and has talent.

Agree the panthers forechecking has been great , they definitely have outplayed the bruins.but this goal definitely should have not counted.and on top of it florida should have been called for a 2 minute cross checking penalty.

Wasn't a crosscheck dude. In the hockey world it was a love tap. I played for years, you obviously didn't.

​@@thebiffer100if its not a crosscheck then why were the Bruins on the penalty kill during this goal for the exact same level of "love tap"? You cant have it both ways

100% agree

@1479thegame so you're saying with 100% certainty that Bennett is still going to score if Swayman can use his stick? Which he can't if you look here 0:59. Is this the reason the Bruins lost no, but don't tell me it's a forgone conclusion the Panthers are the better team. The Panthers had an 0-2-2 record against the Bruins this year and only beat them for the division by 1 point. Please present evidence that the Panthers are head and shoulders better than Boston. Buy hey what do I know I'm just an uneducated whiney Bruins fan who is showing evidence of my argument. As opposed to just saying "more than likely gonna have 0% chance." Also if the hit on Marchand is called correctly Bennett is suspended for at least game 4 since he is a repeat offender, so that means he has 0% chance to score the goal.

@@PatrickBailey525 I guess my response would be to flip the question back around on you. With all of this outrage over that particular call… it would seem that Boston fans seem pretty dead-set that Swayman 100% WOULD have made that save without the interference. And THAT to me is just Boston fan shit. While I can’t say he for sure 100% wouldn’t make the save. I can say it’s more likely that he wouldn’t… than he would. As far as the better team? I would say a few things. Regular season doesn’t mean shit. Whether it be injuries or just portions of the schedule where teams are trying to just simply get by. It doesn’t mean anything, Florida would pound Tampa 3-1 or 4-0 in the regular season and then get HOUSED by the Lightning in the playoffs. It’s a completely different game. I say we are better because Boston was a much better team last year. And we won that series. And aside from all of the noise fans are making about the calls in this series we are out shooting Boston and out playing Boston. We are suffocating Boston through the neutral zone and your team can barely even get any shots off. Which is what this team does to everyone. So…Unless that changes… my point remains the same.

@1479thegame Where in the rule does it allow for "more than likely that he wouldn't"? Please tell me by the letter of the rule that it wasn't interference? Via Rule 69.1, the NHL rulebook states that "if a defending player had been pushed, shoved or fouled by an attacking player so as to cause the defending player to come into contact with his own goalie, such contact shall be deemed contact initiated by the attacking player. If necessary, a penalty is assessed to the attacking player. If a goal is scored, it would be disallowed." Seems pretty black and white to me. Did Coyle make contact with the goalie? Was he pushed, shoved, or fouled by an attacking player? Note that there is no mention of force, just that he was shoved. Answer those questions for me and say it should still be a good goal.

Really? Is that why yall were up 6 players to 4 with 30 seconds and yall still couldn't score? Get a life bro. Nothing is rigged so take off your tin foil hat

He wouldn’t have made the save regardless

@@Echo227 if you are saying that with 100% certainty, then you need to watch more hockey

@@chrisharmata1797 well if you actually heard what the guy said you would actually understand btw he said that Swayman wasn’t going to make the save anyway

@@chrisharmata1797 btw I don’t need to watch more hockey

@@Echo227 there was no one between swayman and the post closest to bennet. We have seen plenty of diving saves and stick saves in instances like that, so the goal is not guaranteed. If you haven’t seen those saves, then maybe you need to watch some more hockey.

Thank you

👌

I think youre confusing Coyle for a Panthers player

Only if he was a magician. Sorry for your precious Bruins.

@@thebiffer100 BALDERDASH. The Right Goalie shinpad was a mere 3 inches trom the puck. SWAY woulda had it!
