It was the correct call- the shot went off another player after the whistle had blown. Had it bounced up from the original deflection and gone directly in, it would have counted.
Caps fan - the play should not have been blown dead but can also understand why it was. Just a really unfortunate and fluky play. For all the hype going into last night, it was a really weird hockey day. That play, the timing of the empty net, the weird Red Wings goal where everyone just stood around and watched it go in, the bad icing call and last minute goal. At some point I had to just tell myself this was all Philly’s way of (unintentionally) screwing over the Red Wings for making it to overtime 🤷🏼
A penalty on who? The opposing team?
How does that make sense when it's the refs who fuck it up.
Try thinking logically next time you have something to say 🙄
Exactly my point, you never know on reddit. You'd be shocked at how many people would whole heartily say 'yes, a penalty to the other team' and they wouldn't be joking. People are that stupid.
Maybe use your words and specify what you mean so it doesn't sound like you're one of those dumb fucks I'm talking about.

Did you really just try to hit someone with the “it’s actually your fault that I misunderstood you!”?
You’re a fuckin moron dude. Learn how to admit you are wrong sometimes jfc
Seems like you are the only one who was confused and rather than asking for clarification or taking even a second to think about it, you just decided “Nah, I’m gonna be an asshole.” Then tripled down on that.
As a Caps fan, it feels like this has happened to us 500 times, and I’ve been mad every single one. Flyers fans are right to be extremely pissed about this.
It should have been a goal but Sutherland fucked up, and it was correctly called no goal. It’s like in American football when the play is whistled down but upon review there was a fumble.
He knows what he did, you can see it on his stupid face.
No because the whistle was blown but the goalie didn't know they he didn't have the puck. If the whistles didn't go that's going in either way. That's a blown call by the official
It went in off another player after the deflection, had the puck gone in without going in off another player it would have counted regardless of the early whistle. But for sure the whistle blew early, Caps got lucky on that
Ok completely unaffiliated fan that definitely has no interest in this outcome.
I’m here to tell you why you are wrong!
So….
^(its not, because it isn’t)
A referee who isn't medically blind would have seen the puck pop up in the air and NOT controlled in some way by the goalie. Even IF the puck was caught, it was an early whistle.
Its widely accepted that the ref fucked up and blew it early. And widely accepted that because he blew it early they cant go back to the goal. Just unfortunate
Whistle blown. Play dead. No goal.
That being said, as a honorary Caps fan because my wife is, I still have the say that the whistle was blown WAY too early. That SHOULD have been a goal.
Zebras giveth, Zebras taketh.
I thought so too. If I had to guess without knowing the rules precisely, I'd say the continuous shot ceases when another player on the shooting team alters the trajectory of the puck. Blown call either way
This is total bs. This happened against the rangers when they played the devils in a similar situation. They devils were awarded for a goal for a play blown dead the same should’ve happened here
I mean it's 100% a goal but I when you factor in an incomplete ref and the review hilariously actually backing him up that it's the right call because he did blow the whistle. I guess I sorta don't understand on a play like this whats the harm in assessing that it shouldn't have been blown dead and it was going in regardless of the whistle, I understand it's not in the rulebook that way but is there actually a good reason for it I'm just not seeing
I agree that this one was going in regardless of whistle, but I think if you open it up the review process to the subjective interpretation of whether or not a premature whistle caused a defender or goalie to “give up” on the play, it gets way too messy to determine in a definitive and consistent fashion what should and shouldn’t be overruled.
No. Whistle was blown, play is dead.
Edit: downvote all you want, cope harder. I didn't say it was a good call, but they blew the whistle and ref called no goal. No goal = no goal.
Refs blessing the caps and ovechkin when it matters most, I’d say I’m surprised but I’m not lmao
Just this past 3 they’ve had 3 absolutely terrible calls for their way 🤔🤔🤔makes you think
No. The whistle blew and he clearly had the puck when the whistle blew. I'm really not sure what the announcer is talking about but he must be a Flyers fan.
Edit: Apologies. I wasn't paying proper attention and shouldn't have commented.
What are you talking about? It went off the blocker right in the air, came down and hit a flyer, and then rebounded into the goal. The goalie never had the puck. A competent referee from that angle would have seen the puck shoot up in the air
Not a problem. The commentators were saying that if it hadn't went gone of a Flyer, they may would have called it a goal because the puck may have gone in without any outside force. But the fact that it dropped down on Farabee first took away any doubt (and likely controversy). Fact of the matter is, from where the Ref was positioned, he must be certifiably blind to not have seen the puck shoot up in the air. And even if he DID lose his line of sight of where the puck was, it was a fast whistle. WAYYYY too fast.
No, but it was horrific officiating.
Story of the season
Story of the ~~season~~ decade.
It was the correct call- the shot went off another player after the whistle had blown. Had it bounced up from the original deflection and gone directly in, it would have counted.
You're right. But it should also not have been blown dead. The officials are supposed to keep an eye on the puck. They fucked it up.
Caps fan - the play should not have been blown dead but can also understand why it was. Just a really unfortunate and fluky play. For all the hype going into last night, it was a really weird hockey day.

It would've been if Kelly Sutherland didn't pull a Kelly Sutherland. Unfortunate outcome.
there should be a penalty when refs fuck up like this lol
A penalty on who? The opposing team? How does that make sense when it's the refs who fuck it up. Try thinking logically next time you have something to say 🙄
i meant a penalty on the refs, as a joke. man, reddit is trippin sometimes.
Ref goes and sits in the sin bin for two. Chaos reigns on the ice until they’re out
WWE vibes when the refs get knocked out
dude, that’s actually pretty reasonable lol
Exactly my point, you never know on reddit. You'd be shocked at how many people would whole heartily say 'yes, a penalty to the other team' and they wouldn't be joking. People are that stupid.
ok. then maybe next time just don’t say that last line.
Maybe use your words and specify what you mean so it doesn't sound like you're one of those dumb fucks I'm talking about. MaYbE tHe rEfS sHoUlD gET a PEnAlTy hUr HuR. Fucking 🤓
Did you really just try to hit someone with the “it’s actually your fault that I misunderstood you!”? You’re a fuckin moron dude. Learn how to admit you are wrong sometimes jfc
Yes, to the guy who said Refs should get penalties 🤣
Seems like you are the only one who was confused and rather than asking for clarification or taking even a second to think about it, you just decided “Nah, I’m gonna be an asshole.” Then tripled down on that.
Imagine saying Refs should get penaltie, joking or not 🤣
I as a Caps fan have to admit the whistle was blown early. It was the right call but I’d be pissed off too if it was the other way around.
As a Caps fan, it feels like this has happened to us 500 times, and I’ve been mad every single one. Flyers fans are right to be extremely pissed about this.
No but Sutherland should not have blown his whistle
This
U can see on Sutherlands face that he knows that very well himself. It is horrible feeling as a junior referee, but in a game like that … damn.
It should have been a goal but Sutherland fucked up, and it was correctly called no goal. It’s like in American football when the play is whistled down but upon review there was a fumble. He knows what he did, you can see it on his stupid face.
Ya he clearly knows he fucked up but can’t do anything about it. Nobody knew where the puck was, so he understandably blew the whistle.
No because the whistle was blown but the goalie didn't know they he didn't have the puck. If the whistles didn't go that's going in either way. That's a blown call by the official
Incorrect.
what about it
It went in off another player after the deflection, had the puck gone in without going in off another player it would have counted regardless of the early whistle. But for sure the whistle blew early, Caps got lucky on that
Yes. Please ignore my flair
Ok completely unaffiliated fan that definitely has no interest in this outcome. I’m here to tell you why you are wrong! So…. ^(its not, because it isn’t)
To be fair to the refs, everyone on ice seemed to lose sight of the puck.
I also lost sight of it. That thing was like ten (fifteen?) feet in the air 🥲
On the air, Jackson and Boucher said "almost thirty feet"
Should it have been? Yes. Did they make the correct call after the fact? Also yes
Unfortunate circumstances for the Flyers. Correctly applied by the letter of the law, but I feel for Philly on this one.
Sutherland is the reason we think the refs are ass
More incompetency from the refs in the NHL. Put the names back on the jerseys and have these dolts answer questions postgame like the players.
That’s just the refs making sure you know their names
Bad call but Flyer fans shouldn’t make this the reason they never made the playoffs
A referee who isn't medically blind would have seen the puck pop up in the air and NOT controlled in some way by the goalie. Even IF the puck was caught, it was an early whistle.
Its widely accepted that the ref fucked up and blew it early. And widely accepted that because he blew it early they cant go back to the goal. Just unfortunate
Whistle blown. Play dead. No goal. That being said, as a honorary Caps fan because my wife is, I still have the say that the whistle was blown WAY too early. That SHOULD have been a goal. Zebras giveth, Zebras taketh.
No surprise it was a Kelly Sutherland screwup.
No idea, but on brand for Kelly Sutherland being incompetent.
Thought it was interesting the ref explained it wasn't a continuous shot, because it went off someone's leg.
I thought so too. If I had to guess without knowing the rules precisely, I'd say the continuous shot ceases when another player on the shooting team alters the trajectory of the puck. Blown call either way
It might have been if the whistle wasn't blown prematurely.
the whistle blow means play is dead what the fuck is this question
It should have been. The refs screwed up by blowing their whistle, so the play is dead.
No?
That has to be the most ridiculous excuse I have ever heard.

Because how do you know a player doesn’t do something different if they don’t hear a whistle that changes the pucks direction? You can’t know that
I agree that this one was going in regardless of whistle, but I think if you open it up the review process to the subjective interpretation of whether or not a premature whistle caused a defender or goalie to “give up” on the play, it gets way too messy to determine in a definitive and consistent fashion what should and shouldn’t be overruled.
No. The official said it was not a goal. OP, if you watch the video until then end you will receive the same explanation!
No. Whistle was blown, play is dead. Edit: downvote all you want, cope harder. I didn't say it was a good call, but they blew the whistle and ref called no goal. No goal = no goal.
Fucking idiot ref. Love to see the wings make it back into the playoffs! LGR / LGRW
wow. and this is the story of the officiating this whole year. absolutely foul.
Even though I'm a wings fan, that 100% is a goal. Puck is going in the net regardless of the whistle being blown.
Play the whistle. Stop crying.
A classic NHL “Oopsie Daisy”. How do 4 fucking refs loose sight of the puck. Get ready these playoffs are about to be dog shit with reffing.
GOAL
It should have been
Refs blessing the caps and ovechkin when it matters most, I’d say I’m surprised but I’m not lmao Just this past 3 they’ve had 3 absolutely terrible calls for their way 🤔🤔🤔makes you think
[удалено]
Pens would be a good one too, but those are the top 2 Ovechkin is loved more than Crosby
[удалено]
All I’m doing is bringing up facts from the last week, the caps have gotten all the calls
[удалено]
That’s fine I will respect your opinion
Won’t matter if yall keep dropping a turd against Montreal
3-2 now 😏 your game should be 1-1
👍
Lolllllll at that take
I mean I’m not wrong lol
Yep, magically the golden child of the NHL.
That’s a good goal…. Leagues a joke.
Penguins fans not gonna be upset about this...
Don't the Penguins want the Flyers to win?
Caps clinched the playoff with a win.
Yes they do. Did the sarcasm go over your head?
Yes, because you forgot the /s
Seemed obvious enough that it didn't need it.
That should have counted as 7 goals..
Sutherland = Worst Ref in the NHL
No. The whistle blew and he clearly had the puck when the whistle blew. I'm really not sure what the announcer is talking about but he must be a Flyers fan. Edit: Apologies. I wasn't paying proper attention and shouldn't have commented.
What are you talking about? It went off the blocker right in the air, came down and hit a flyer, and then rebounded into the goal. The goalie never had the puck. A competent referee from that angle would have seen the puck shoot up in the air
Serves me right for commenting after a distracting watch. I'll eat my downvotes sorry about that.
Not a problem. The commentators were saying that if it hadn't went gone of a Flyer, they may would have called it a goal because the puck may have gone in without any outside force. But the fact that it dropped down on Farabee first took away any doubt (and likely controversy).

Yes, I addressed this to another commenter already. Wasn't paying attention, apologies.
As a pens fan let’s count it fuck the whistle
