BuffaloFansR_Crazy Posted March 10, 2011 Report Posted March 10, 2011 Did anyone else see St. louis' spinning goal in the shootout? I will be looking for the youtube. Really nice, but not completely convinced it was legal.

Really nice, but not completely convinced it was legal. Neither were the versus announcers. In fact, post-game, the studio guys still are implying that it may not have been. By they way, who was it that was bitching about a rookie pulling a spin move or something like that (it was a backwards-skate start, right?) in a shootout earlier this season? Oh, it was Martin St. Louis.

Don't lump me in with those geniuses :angry: What I found interesting was after Stamkos tried the same move and missed on the attempt before Crawford asked the ref it it would have counted. Guess he said yes.

Guess he said yes. That is one angry-looking frowny-face. I need to find a way to duplicate that in real life. Anyway, no, I did not intend to lump you in with the versus announcers. Just saying that, umm, they picked up on your post and broadcast it nationwide.

Haha, I was just making another failed attempt to be funny. But that is what I actually look like in real life all the time. It truly is hard to convey sarcasm on the internet.

Really nice, but not completely convinced it was legal. I am from Buffalo..of course it's no goal :wallbash: !! Seriusly, I think it should not have counted (btw, watched the highlights on NHL.com, really like the Hawks PbP guy_
Eleven Posted March 10, 2011 Report Posted March 10, 2011 Nothing wrong with the spin part, but at the end of the spin, he brought that puck back away from the goal. Should not have counted.
shrader Posted March 10, 2011 Report Posted March 10, 2011 Nothing wrong with the spin part, but at the end of the spin, he brought that puck back away from the goal. Should not have counted. I remember the last time this was brought up someone showed how they reworded the shootout rules to allow the spinorama. That stop at the end is the big question here though.
eball Posted March 10, 2011 Report Posted March 10, 2011 The league seems to be conspiring to put Buffalo in the playoffs. Canes only get a point at home vs. Atlanta, Rangers lose in regulation in Anaheim. Win by the Sabres tonight in Boston would be huge.
carpandean Posted March 10, 2011 Report Posted March 10, 2011 Nothing wrong with the spin part, but at the end of the spin, he brought that puck back away from the goal. Should not have counted. But how many times when a player goes from forehand to backhand or vice versa in making their final move around the goaltender does the puck move back just a little bit? Definitely pushing the envelope, though.
Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted March 10, 2011 Report Posted March 10, 2011 I remember the last time this was brought up someone showed how they reworded the shootout rules to allow the spinorama. That stop at the end is the big question here though. That was sweet. Even though his skates stop, what if the puck moves forward? I don't know what the case was, but yeah, that little deke at the end is questionable. The NHL should just throw in the towel and have a 18 man shootout after every game for 1 point. Make regulation wins 7 points, and OT 5 points to the winner and 2 to the loser. This way everyone knows how many points are available for the season, it gives incentive for more exciting hockey in regulation because you get penalized for playing for the tie, and 12% of the standings are based on pure skill with the shootout. The shootout at the end would probably also keep fans from leaving early and it would be fun watching the scrubs break in. If you REALLY want to spice it up, add 1 roster spot for a "Shootout Legend" from each team. Can you imagine going to Pittsburgh and having Mario come down from the owner's box at the end of the game? How about Patty or Gilbert at the arena? OK...too much coffee.....
SwampD Posted March 10, 2011 Report Posted March 10, 2011 Nothing wrong with the spin part, but at the end of the spin, he brought that puck back away from the goal. Should not have counted. Spot on. When I first saw it I thought it was good but you're right, it should not have counted.
nobody Posted March 10, 2011 Report Posted March 10, 2011 Looks like the puck stops - so shouldn't count.

Guess he said yes. Is there a clip of the Stamkos miss?. Would like to compare the two.

spndnchz Posted March 10, 2011 Author Report Posted March 10, 2011 Kubina must have prior history of suspension. Once in 2006.
nobody Posted March 10, 2011 Report Posted March 10, 2011 Once in 2006. But how did he get suspended then without prior history of suspension?
BuffaloFansR_Crazy Posted March 10, 2011 Report Posted March 10, 2011 Is there a clip of the Stamkos miss?. Would like to compare the two. My link This is the whole shootout but pretty bad quality. Stamkos starts at 49sec mark.

thesportsbuff Posted March 10, 2011 Report Posted March 10, 2011 No problem with either attempt. I get why you can say it's questionable based on the rule, which says the puck must maintain forward momentum at all times, but seriously anytime you're taking the puck left to right, or if you do a fake shot, or Datsyuk's famous move--- pretty much any move you do changes the direction of the puck. The puck is never always going forward. Plus the NHL came out a while ago and said spin-o-rama type moves were legal in the shootout, so there's really not much debate. Donno what Crawford's deal was. Common knowledge.

Donno what Crawford's deal was. Common knowledge. But didn't the add in of the spin move happen because some were saying the puck was actually going backward? I think in this case, the puck actually stops at the end which would make some difference. Not sure, though... :unsure:
