Patrick Kane BEATS THE BUZZER… or does he? 🧐



Patrick Kane cranks a slap shot from the top of the circles to win the game in overtime, but upon further review, the game-clock had struck zero prior to the puck crossing the line. In the shootout, Tyler Johnson is able to score five-hole, giving the Chicago Blackhawks a 3-2 victory of the Vegas Golden Knights.

  1. Old-school Kane-like clutch moment 😢 this makes a grown man cry with all the memories

  2. NHL and refs taking away one of those miraculous moments little kids dream about on frozen ponds worldwide. Just like the NBA, if the shot is in the air at 0, it COUNTS. Bettman, fix this.

  3. The game should've been over in completion of overtime. That shot was made before time expired

  4. It’s reasons like this why everybody hates Vegas, ik it’s not their fault but still this would’ve been amazing as Kane’s last game at the United Center as a Hawk if he’s traded

  5. That goal should have counted. There was one tenth of a second remaining. I don't know how the refs missed that one after reviewing it.

  6. the problem is that the game clock and the tv clock are different. I was in 308 behind the goal and it looked good. but i was hammered so what do i know

  7. Doing some math here: at 60fps I count at least 3 frames where the green lamp is in transition from dark to fully lit, which means there is ~0.05s of grey area there. Assuming Kane's slapper is 40m/s (~90mph) it traveled a full 2 meters (~6.5ft) in that period of time. That's 26 puck-lengths! So… does play end when the lamp begins to turn on, when it's fully lit, or somewhere in between? The answer results in a wildly different position of the puck relative to the goal line and time clock in this scenario. Buzzer beaters are rare in hockey, but this one is close enough that it sparks curiosity about the technology used to determine puck position. @NHL let us see the Statcast graphics on this one eh? 😉

  8. How ironic that Toronto is not only most likely to take Kane away from the Hawks, but Toronto also took away maybe his last goal as a Hawk.
