Eck: ref has the whistle in his mouth That's intent to blow, my guy How many times did the Rangers get capped over the "intent to blow the whistle" rule? Coop should've challenged that play
I guess just crash the net with multiple players and create a scrum after every save from now on. This kind of feels like a fake QB slide or fake kneel play vibe.
All the clowns in the comments saying you play to the whistle knowing damn well that "I didn't hear the whistle" would get laughed out of the stadium as an excuse for hitting someone after play was stopped.
I am a goalie for co-ed hockey. I play in the lowest possible division. Myself and the players I play with are absolutely awful.
I've played around 100 games and only once has a team let me just play the puck. They for some reason started skating away assuming a whistle had blown so the ref yelled at me to play it.
As a former goalie, I can definitely confirm that you're right at 0:52. Once that music comes on, it's the signal to relax. It's so difficult to stay locked in and focused for 60 minutes, and when the play is at the far of the ice, it's easy to rely on the music instead of trying to hear a whistle in a noisy arena.
Toronto got screwed out of a goal in the playoffs last season when the refs didn't blow the whistle on the play, but they deemed in review that a reasonable person would expect the play to be dead after Bobrovsky covered the puck, this not allowing the goal to count when he stands up and it rolls into the net. There was zero whistle on the play so should it have been a good goal and a mistake by the goalie to stand up before a whistle? Same case should have happened here.
definitely the player's faults. the music doesn't start until 4/5 of the players turn to head to the bench, with Point the only one staying. good goal, bizarre scenario.
As a referee myself, putting your whistle in your mouth is an automatic queue for the linesmen to come in and that the play is dead. Terrible by the low referee.
Can we just get rid of the re+arded DJs? Do people literally need the constant stimulation of hearing noise bounce around in their heads? I miss the early days of either an organist playing (a real skill) or just silence so you can hear and enjoy the buzz of the crowd and be a part of the atmosphere… instead of being blasted by some braindead Cardi-B song or the grossly overused Beastie Boys.
As crazy of a play this was and as pissed as I was as a bolts fan, this honestly helped us. We had very little possession of the puck and were just slow. This situation woke them the fuck up.

But goalies complain when sticks wack their pads before a whistle…. ref totally messed up.

this in not a dj issue, literally every single tampa player stopped plating and thought play was dead, thats on them.

Watching nhl players do this is stunning
The old phrase, "Play to the whistle." Comes to mind. Really no one's fault but the players on the ice that stopped playing.
we were always told to play to the whistle, so no whistle means to keep playing
Correct! 👍
all it would have taken was for one Tampa player to skate towards the Montreal goalie and he would have kept the puck frozen.

sh*t happens, just seems to be happening more and more. Like if the matrix is breaking or something.
Losing the game after this is such a Habs move… here's to hoping they start the year off with a win 🙏🏿
Thats on the Tampa players in my opinion. Lazy bullshit, play hard till the whistle you slugs!
The Tampa forward shouldn't have turned away until he heard the whistle – should have been obvious to him that the goalie could still move the puck.
Classic Eck video on the NHL rule book.
The refs waived only at Montreal no Tampa players . Tampa vs the refs
This should of been reversed, goalie has puck way to long even 2 refs thought play was dead based on their skating

Technically good but officially weird af lmao
Tampa refs ,screwed plenty of teams in there cup runs ,so Tampa fans and players can shut there mouth’s and stop whining .
they still lost so honestly it didnt even matter.
Non-hockey culture…these things are gonna happen. Surprised they don't happen more often in markets like Tampa…
The DJ's gf said this happens a lot….he goes too soon.
Only 2 people in that building knew the play was still live, Montembeault and Sutherland. Weird scenario, but it is what it is…….🤪
Tampa finally gets screwed over for once lol
definitely the player's faults. the music doesn't start until 4/5 of the players turn to head to the bench, with Point the only one staying. good goal, bizarre scenario.
Nah not screwed by anythin to do with that, just zero awareness on the par Leafs
This is why I hate when players throw their arms up looking for a penalty. Play till the dang whistle.
If you look at the refs hands, he signalled to the players to keep going.
I guess nobody with Tampa was interested in cleaning up any possible rebounds and paid the price.
As a Tampa native, I’m not too mad, since the Lightning came back and won 4 – 3 against the Canadiens.
Stay in your net, problem solved.
I blame the lightning players for not pressuring the goalie(thus getting the whistle). It's a cliche, worn out statement but you play to the whistle.

That was BS! The goalie HELD that puck more than ling enough to get the whistle. The refs were asleep at the wheel.
i wonder what would have happened if that happened to the away team, do u think it would called no goal cuz its not their building?

I was at the game, and I can say it was 100% tampas djs fault. 😂 it completely threw me off, weirdest goal I’ve ever experienced
why did Tampas goalie leave the net tho?
