The rigged nhl doing what they do best, cheating for FLORIDA cuz NOONE IN FLORIDA would pay $2 to watch HOCKEY in FLORIDA OR VEGAS if the league didn't allow Tampa Bay, Vegas and Florida to keep winning the cup every year.
inb4 all the butthurt canadians crying about refs 🤣🤣🤣
Did Kulak's skate bump into Bennett? Yes. Is that what caused him to fall into the goaltender? No. Bad call.
Bennett puts no effort into avoiding goalie contact when he decides to run into them.
Oiler player tripped his leg out from under him. 😂
Diving freaking rat! How in the multiverse are Brad Marchand and Sam Bennett on the same team 😂
i came to see the inbredmonton cope. not disappointed!
idk how the NHL hasn't figured out Bennett is always doing things on purpose, it isn't a coincidence he's the culprit every time this stuff happens. Oops fell into the goalie as the shot was coming..
I see nhl is not cracking down on the refs hard enough for being bias against Canada. What is this bullshit call bro
Another accidentally on purpose brush with the goalie. Never any consequences.
Go Panthers!!!
Dirty play by Kulak trying to trip a vulnerable Bennett. Glad the refs saw it through with the quickest failed challenge ever, proving the challenge was nonsense.
Panthers vs bruins game 4.
Kulak wasn't very smart with his skate, Bennett is a pro 😀
Defence weren't doing there job, that guy should've been pushed out of there.
💯 interference
Leaf fan here – cry me a river oil fans
that's goalie interference every day of the week
Terrible call, Bennett should have got 2 for diving and 2 more for goalie interference on the dive. This is the kind of crap that makes the NHL unwatchable for fans of hockey.
Refs are cheating for Florida LOL but not for Tampa Bay! Refs like to screw Corey Perry
I'm a Panther's fan, but I was surprised.
Yeah, he got a push, but he's already in close to the net anyway, and then the shot redirects off his heel to the top of the net?
Even if Bennet didn't mean for it to happen, that is such a sloppy goal where the goalie has no chance. lol.
I thought they were definitely going to call interference.
Bettman already has his hands on this series.
Pretty quick decision, it’s the cup final.
another pathetic call
This has been an amazing playoffs with regard to hockey, and an absolute train wreck with regard to officiating
As a Canadian who isn't a fan of either team, but would like to see McDavid get his first cup… I think this call is super difficult to make and not as black and white as people want to make it seem.
Clear agenda the oilers will have to beat panthers and the refs
This is fkin unbelievable it was a goal???
1:30 he’s trying to find this feckin puck
Свой защитник толкнул на своего вратаря игрока кошек и начелась вонь из канады.
If thats acceptable … its further proof that the NHLs rigged in Floridas favor. He pushed him out of the way where his leg would have been in the way of the puck.
Clear as day goalie interference.
Garbage league are fcking kidding me refs … what a joke league
Panthers got away with murder all game. countless missed/non calls.
Refs should do press conference after every game and give explanations of the major calls they have made. Sometimes they can do mistakes but they should be held accountable and provide some reasoning behind their decisions
This pisses me off. How many times is Bennett going to "accidentally" fall into the goalie before the league does something about it?
I hate Bennett (lifelong dirtball) & thought this was a terrible call UNTIL I saw THIS angle @1:30.. I hate to admit it but I think Bennett actually fell &, for once, didn't do anything dirty 😂
Awful call.
The Florida referees strikes again , and this time , THEY LOST.
If that's Zach Hyman the goal is called back
OK, let me get this.The same referee and two linesman that missed/ignored the goal tender interference initially, now get to review it?Of course they are not going to later acknowledge their either ineptitude or bias thereby incriminating themselves.
There is a goal judge.What about a liason of him along with another designated,versed person used as reviewers if required?
There was no contact with his skate he just rubbed the leg and imo fell backwards onto Skinner, just another MCulley screw over.
100 percent chance if it was Kane or Perry falling into Bob in the exact same circumstances its called goalie interference
Total embellishment by Bennett. Did he just put on skates for the first time? I hope refs get the balls to call him for once.
Go back a few weeks ago and watch the "Mason Marchment's Goal In OT Waved Off Due To Goalie Interference"
Tell me which one should stand and which one should be waived off. The NHL isnt consistent. Even when its clear as day.
This is a textbook case of interference.
I haven't watched hockey in a long time until last night, so I'm unfamiliar with the players or the current rules. Bennet's skates got hooked into the two Oiler's skates repeatedly on this play, though. It looks rather suspicious to me.
The question isn’t whether or not Skinners ability to make the save was impeded on the play. It was.
The question becomes: is Bennett at fault, is Kulak at fault or is nobody to blame for why Bennett fell into Skinner.
If you rule Bennett is at fault then it’s easy… no goal.
If you rule Kulak is at fault then it’s easy… goal.
If you rule incidental contact, meaning it’s just a hockey play where nobody can be blamed for the series of events that lead to Bennett falling into Skinner then it’s easy… no goal.
Because I view it as incidental contact, I rule it no different than if he tripped over one of his own teammates skates on that play where he was (to be charitable to his character and integrity) carelessly back skating without paying attention to his surroundings… no goal.
I don’t blame Kulak, I wouldn’t give him a tripping penalty on the play, but I also recognize the contact with Kulak is what caused Bennett to fall into Skinner, however it still was goalie interference in the context of impeding the goalies ability to make a save in his own crease. That’s why the goal ought to have come off the scoreboard.
The announcer Craig Simpson is either blind or just plain chickenshit for not calling out Bennett's blatant dive into the goalie.
