Maple Leafs Avoid Disaster After Review As Puck Deemed Frozen Before Point’s Goal



Watch as T.J. Brodie’s failed clearing attempt nearly ends up in a goal for Brayden Point, but after review is confirmed as a no-goal as the puck was whistled dead before it was knocked into the net.

  1. If they had called it as the whistle was blown before the puck crossed I would understand. Early whistle but the ref goes with what they see. However, declaring no goal because it was "covered"?!?!?! 2021 clown show refs anyone? What a mockery. I know it is semantics but wording matters.

  2. Simultaneously hits the puck in as the whistle blows. It clearly wasn’t covered either. That should have counted.

  3. Refs playing the long game. Just setting the leafs up for disappointment

  4. ridiculous call. No way in hell that was frozen, no whistle and clear goal. f Toronto and the refs. Nice to get to appeal to your home city for reviews

  5. why the long review, it was clearly blown dead before the puck went into the net. I understand lightning fans being mad about the (too quick) whistle but I don't understand the review.

  6. no goal. good call. cant spear the goalies pad to get the puck loose then poke it in. puck was covered even though sammy didnt know where it was. good call.

    EDIT: After watching several times I'm doubling down on it being no goal. I think even though the puck is loose you can't spear the goalie to make the puck even looser. So can't have two good pokes at it. ALSO the intention of the ref blowing the whistle might have been when it was caught up in his equipment and hadnt seen it drop yet. IDK but looking forward to a possible statement from the league

  7. Refs loose sight of puck they blow it dead. It’s simple. When a call doesn’t go your way you keep your composure and move on, it’s only game 3.
    In 2013 Chicago had the series winning goal called back against Detroit on an absolutely garbage display of officiating. They moved on and took care of business in OT.
    Call didn’t go your way Tampa? Welcome to the club.

  8. Considering the way Point was jabbing at Samsonov's pads (note he didn't end up with his stick in his hands) perhaps there was some goaltender interference in there as well? Not exactly a clean finish to continue play after the whistle.

  9. The Leafs are lucky that they're not wearing green and from Dallas. That would've been called a goal.

  10. Brilliant hockey IQ play by a veteran no less, TJ Brodie. A backhand flip under pressure from the side of your net. Moronic.

  11. pretty sure is was just lying under his left leg , i cant see any part that a puck gets dug out from his right leg so it had to been loose?

  12. Puck was covered?? Sorry, I must’ve had a different angle than the zebras. Because I saw it as completely loose.

  13. Sure this could have counted. The leafs also should have had about 5+ more power plays than they did and Stamkos and kucherov shouldn't have even been allowed in the building after that bullshit they pulled

  14. wow leafs get the benefit of a call for once in the playoffs.. tampa fans forgot about game 6 last year when they were about to lose to mcauley gave them a free 5 on 3

  15. Okay, you called it wrong whatever… it happens. But that's why theres replay?? it's clearly free and gets hit in. Good goal. Why have replay if you cant correct blatant missed calls?

  16. So this didn’t count but this puck was more loose then the one in the bruins panthers game and that counted

  17. According to the entitled Bolts fans, it seems the only way the reffing would be fair is for every, single questionable call go their way. 🤣

  18. Let’s see how many Leafs fans reference this play and still say it was the “right call” 🤣 suck it Leafs

  19. Leafs got eliminated on a similar play in the next round. Their goal was taken off and leafs lose to panthers in 5 game. Second round monsters. 1-4
