If you look close its a kicked in goal, but no way possible he meant to or he missed his calling for Soccer !
What a scissor kick
Stars fans thinking this is a kick is the funniest thing ever
Did it stand? Or was that technically a kick? 😮
It could have gone either way
The king of weird clutch goals
RONALDO
I think he might have been watching lots of soccer
Goal of the year candidate
Messi would be proud of this one
That shouldn’t count if it did
No kicking other then both.. feet moving after being triped. We have a good hockey goal 🫱
What an absolutely flukey goal 😂
Its clutch tho, tuff
Distinct kicking motion, no goal
Lol, been waiting for him to come up clutch again. And he gave us this beauty
BI’m g win❤
Kicking motion!! 😅😅
Kicking motion?
Wow !
Good goal but “distinct kicking motion” is a rule with room for interpretation
It’s all about the interpretation of “distinct” …. If you interpret it as deliberate (on purpose) this would still be a good goal as I’m sure the player didn’t mean to.
If you interpret distinct kicking motion as the leg going forwards toward the goal (regardless of the intent of the skater) it’s a tougher call.
Looks like a field goal 😂 (Kicked in)
After video review, it was determined there was no deliberate kicking motion. We have a good goal!
Id like to call it a kick because his foot does extend out. However on the other hand, his eyes never look towards the puck, and so there is no way he could have even intentionally kicked it, because he definitely had no idea where it was.
He will heat up in the playoffs. Perfect timing once again!
Now that is what they call following up a rebound 😎
I call it a bad goal tending not being able to control the original shot rebounding. 😂
No question he definitely kicked this puck in he was watching😂
"Didnt even know how the puck managed to do that."
Seems like the announcer is either blind or was trying to avoid the word kick to avoid controversy.
It was a kick, not deliberate though, so good goal
Those saying it was intentional need to get their eyes checked
He definitely kicked the puck on purpose while making it look natural, and I totally respect it 🤝
Messi couldn’t have drawn up a better play
One of those special playoff player
That goal was greasier than Sunnyvale
When he left Montreal I had a feeling he would have success. The kid plays with a boatload of heart.
Ok, so if you drop-kick the puck in, than its NOT a kicking motion? 🤔
Kicked it
Are NHL executives happy with the match-fixing by the referees?
Kick motion – no goal
First angle looks like it went invisible for a split second
Change this commentator
If he hadn't kicked that leg forward his acl was about to tear thats what he said. Pure reaction to falling and that leg being twisted up against the ice, his focus was on taking the hit at that point.
Ironically that's the only kick in goal they're ever going to allow he booted that thing right into the net
No chance for the goalie
And the Oscar goes to…
