Watch as the Montreal Canadiens close the year with one of the strangest goals of 2023, as no whistle is blown after a save, allowing Johnathan Kovacevic to fire the puck down ice for a goal with the Tampa Bay Lightning totally unaware.

A rule book does not care about what Tampa Bay players think.
Heads up for the habs 😂
Nothing to see here, just refs ruining games. Goalie caught it, held it. Should have been blown down.

There was no attacking player near the net. The referee was correct to not blow the whistle. Tampa Bay got caught sleeping.
I heard a whistle.
😅
Good god over 100 years later and still having weird and odd things added to the teams resume lmao.
вот это конфуз!
0:53 – Even the linesman thought there was a whistle!
eehh kept for 30 secs cancel that point dumm
This is the ultimate ref moment of 2023, ironically at the end of 2023
всё справедливо. Свистка не было. Вратарь куда и зачем укатился?
What happens here is that the lightning are caught off guard because even though there isn’t a whistle blown, the arena music comes on, as if one was blown. everything was just an assumption on the lightning side and I’m pretty sure that they would’ve heard it if the whistle was blown. On the other hand, I have to admit that the goalie held the puck long enough to warrant the whistle from the ref for a frozen puck.
There should have been a whistle, but what can ya do.
Play the whistle. Simple.
wtf 😂
I hate how much of a missed opportunity for a goalie goal this was
Dont worry America well teach you a few tricks lmfao
Play until you hear the whistle kids
😂
Terrible refereeing. What did the judges eat that evening?
Imagine if that was overtime of game 7 of Stanley cup final
