Kicking - Goal or No Goal

So I just saw the hilights of the Oilers/Panthers game and seen the game winning goal by Horcoff which was reviewed and allowed even though from the replay it appears to be kicked/redirected in.




Now normally I could care less about the Oilers but it made me think about another team I normally care less about, the Canucks and the playoffs last year where there also was a redirected shot off a skate that ended up going into the goal but was disallowed.



When comparing the two, it makes no sense that Horcoff's goal counts and Sedin's doesnt.
Here is the video of Mike Murphy Explanation of the call made from the playoffs




Care to explain this one Mike Murphy???

  1. typical NHL bull$#it...the rules are so vague and so convoluted that they can interpret them any which way suits them...the rules change minute to minute, game to game, ref to ref...how about goalie interference? sometimes you see a player almost graze a goalie's pad with the toe of his skate and the goal doesn't count and he gets a penalty, and sometimes they ram the goalie into the back of the net with the puck after he makes a save and its a good goal..."Bettman's NHL"

  2. There is no other sport that has such a problem determining whether a score is allowed or not.


    You can use Mike Murphy's explanation to say Horcoff's goal should have been disallowed but it counts.
