I’m pretty sure the ref’s assist in the Calgary goal was deliberate. To use NHL parlance, there was a “distinct kicking motion” to move the puck from the ref’s skate to Huberdeau’s stick.
Just get those clowns off the ice.. why is he sta ding there in the first place? He should be either closer to the boards or closer to the goal line.. these idiots are always in the wrong place. They always stay way too close to the play... your only supposed to get close to the play when your losing sight of the puck or think you will soon.
i particularly liked the sequence of plays in the Kings Lightning game, where the Lightning gave up a 2 on 0 (thats a dang it) vasilevsky makes a brilliant almost mind-reader save (hat pick), meaning the Kings failed to score on the 2 on 0 (dang it), and then not like five seconds later the Lightning give up ANOTHER odd man rush, a 2 on 1 this time (dang it!) and this time the Kings score even tho Vasilevsky didnt need to worry about the pass that time (dang it!). it was all very funny.
There are 3 options to explain the high sticking thing. 1. They are involved to a certain degree on betting or "fixing" games (we know they don't fix mistakes they just make new ones... that they also never fix) 2. Incompetent (seems like the obvious choice... if Colorados GM watches the replay live before being announced the call stands, he has to be absolutely embarrassed. It's a clown league with a clown commisionaire 3.
Getting a high-stick from your teammate sure is a dang-it. I remember once, an opposing player grabbed an Oiler's stick and made an Oiler's player high-stick another Oiler's player. I think they reviewed it because it was a double-minor, but they called it off because it was caused by an Oiler's stick. They should have handed out a 'holding the stick' call at least. It was obviously a result of the opposing player's actions.
@@p-47thunderbolt57 unfortunately for you guys it was. But honestly, I hope you guys do well this year, and who knows we might just see you in the scf. But hopefully a different result from last time....
I don't know why, but the call and answer, audience participation section made me laugh and laugh. Of course, I obliged. Made me feel like a kid again.
The one where the sharks blew the horn for the Vegas goal you can see one of the Vegas players give the sign kids give truckers to honk their horns and it was hilarious
They couldn't review for a double minor once the ref made the call for 2 minutes. While the refs attempted to review, you can see the screen isn't showing the play and the refs get word from Toronto that they can't review because he already called for 2 minutes. He should have called a double then reviewed and reversed the call. I'm an Aves fan and the refs screwed up.
The refs did fine. It looked like a high stick in real time from his angle. Refs don't have the luxury of perfect angles, zoomed in, and in slow motion. When they saw they got it wrong they tried to see if they can do anything to fix it
@@moneydynamicmatanya9541 It is part of the compromise to a game where not every penalty can be reviewed so that we don't get bogged down by unnecessary reviews for the majority of the time. Otherwise, every time a penalty is called, reviewed and upheld, it would be a delay of game for the refs. Which would you prefer?
Another Dang-it in the Pens-Oils game. As the Oilers players were celebrating with their goalie, a Penguins fan in the background was shown in the motion of throwing his jersey onto the ice. In another angle it shows Draisaitl skating over and flicking it back into the stands.
I figured that ref play in the Sabres-Flames game would be on here. It was the last thing I saw before I went to bed that night and I was so pissed off.
I was at the Canucks home opener against Buffalo, and man that whole game was a dang it. Boo'ed off the ice, jerseys thrown onto the ice. It was quite the spectacle. I'm glad they were at least able to pull out their first win against Seattle tonight, but come on boys, DANG IT!
@@samvakarian I might cry when he does lol. I was at the Wild game this year and took my phone out to record for that little bit they pulled Fluery. I just wonder if the team thinks "give it to Igor" as much as all the fans do lol
@@rjdaire38 sometimes I wonder why they dont, its almost like soccer, playing out from the back. I hit record on my remote every time the opposing team pulls their goalie. I have brodeurs first empty net on a vhs i recoeded and still have and I sure as hell don't wanna miss igors. We all know its coming, it's only a matter of when 👍
@@samvakarian Ultimately I hope I jist get to see it live. I'm not in NY so I only get hockey through ESPN+ which doesn't give me every Ranger game, the games I don't get to watch my biggest fear is missing his goal lol
@@xyrolinx3533 goal is a goal, especially in a game that goes to a shoot out. But I do think the Avs took the foot off a little for that power play, and it was the right thing for them to do
@@xyrolinx3533 I didn't really notice but if I'm Bednar I say to the guys to go even harder because you know the Rangers are getting a makeup call(or 3 in this case) and with the Avs PK being what it is to start the season they need to capitalize on every PP
I mean teams have been screwed harder and consequently scored on. There are plenty of wrong calls/missed calls each game, but Colorado had good sportsmanship if they did ease up
The refs actually didn't review the high sticking goal. The iPad stayed on the loading screen because Toronto said they couldn't review it. If you look again it stays on the loading screen the whole time
As an Avs fan, I thought the Rangers got screwed on that one. At least the Avs didn't score on it. But, other than that, it was a fantastic game, and possibly a preview of later this season!
The crazy thing about the Rangers “high stick” is that for many calls the refs are allowed to review it before making a decision. Like with delay of game - over the glass calls.
as for the Sharks horn blowing.... I had a related experience when the Jets were still the Atlanta Thrashers. I won a VIP fan thing and got to go up into the rafter area and push the button that made the big Thrasher head shoot fire when they skated out for pre-game introductions. Anywho... We did all that (super fun!) and then the guy who normally pushes the button during the game for goals wandered off. I decided to just stay there because of the awesome view. The game started and the Thrashers actually scored in the first few seconds! He wasn't there to stop me so I pushed the button for him! He comes running back laughing about how lucky it was that I had stuck around. He wanders off again because, hey, it's the Thrashers! They're not gonna score again anytime soon, right? Wrong! They scored again just as he disappeared, so I hit the button again for the goal and then two more times because they had two goals total at that point and they guy still wasn't there to stop me. We had a good laugh and he decided to stay where he belonged after that. Best hockey night of my life!
I agree, that completely distracted me from the play, next thing I knew the puck was in the net. Makar is a great player, but if you've seen one player sit down you've seen them all. ESPN really frustrates me with their NHL coverage!!!
"We've all been there" As a former major junior hockey team DJ/horn operator: Nope, never done that in 2 seasons Steve. However, I may have activated the horn a bit too early a few times...
I thought the Dang-It on the Vancouver overtime loss to Minnesota was that all 3 Canucks "skaters" were standing still at times (the announcer did say that Boeser and Miller had been on the ice for over 2 minutes).
I first laughed when you said don't laugh, but then I gasped when I say the 2 Canadian players collided into the board. I'm glad they are okay. I just love Dang-Its videos and LFR. 😂 it's helped my mother and I through some rough times and thank you Steve for lifting our spirits🤗
Regarding the reviewed penalty that shouldn't have been reviewed but was wrong... There has to be a standard for when penalties are reviewed otherwise officials will get questioned for reviewing Play A but not Play B, and coaches influencing reviews but not having it count as one of their review requests, etc.
How in the world was Samuel Girard's stick getting stuck in the boards leading directly to a Golden Knights goal not a dang it? Also, I don't feel too bad for the Rangers on the last dang it because not only did Colorado not score on that PP the Rangers also got like 3 make up calls for it
The giveaway to Eichel was actually a triple Dang It. The play was during a 4-on-4, because a penalty was called 2 seconds into a Jets power play, so that’s Dang It one. The giveaway and goal is Dang It two. The score after that goal was 4-0 in the first period, which is Dang It three.
wacky moment from the kings-lightning game: it looked like vasilevsky had covered the puck but he hadn't, there's no whistle, in the middle of a huge scramble in front of the net danault scores, he and vilardi start celebrating, but there's no goal horn?? and then it seems like maybe they're gonna challenge the goal but they don't, they just update the scoreboard and play continues? and then like. five minutes later they blow the goal horn and announce the goal, can't imagine how confusing that must have been for everyone in the arena lol
Avs fan and I completely agree that the call was bad. But as bad as that was, and it was BAD BAD, the fact that we lose the puck on screen every time it flies in front of that infuriating dynamic ad boards is worse! It's bad enough people complain about losing the puck on an HD screen, but now we're blocking it for ad revenue? Shameful.
The refs ended up correcting their phantom high stick in the Avs/Rangers by not calling the obvious high stick to Rantanen’s face late third in the same game. Lol. Thus the board of governors shall never speak of this.
So glad that Pavelski goal made it in. You gotta watch that from the stars broadcast, Razor calls it the "Maverick", Because he hit the breaks, and they flew right by.
I don't know if it's because an official channel isn't allowed to talk about it. However, the Canucks lost 5-1, got boo'd off the ice and fans threw jersey's onto the ice AT THE HOME OPENER. That's gotta be the biggest dang-it for any professional sports franchise ever. Hoenestly the Canucks in general this season have just been one big dang-it.
Since the refs are in contact with Toronto and referee central, you would figure all they should do , to save face, is tell the on-ice refs, up it to 4 minutes and then reverse the call since there was no high stick. It's called IMPROVISATION and would save the NHL a PR debacle in the end.
2 things, first is whenever I hear the oilers goal song I feel like I'm at a high class party. 2nd steve igor played lights out and he made the right play coming out to handle the puck he just miss-handdled it. Ranger defensman was going to be under pressure from the colorado player so he made the correct assessment to draw the player to him freeing up his player he would be passing too. I feel as though this is not the circumstance that is tend the goal and we need to be stricter in our maiming of goalies. When a goalie goes out and plays the puck for minimal reasoning is when we should maim them for it.
I call those goalies giving up goals because they lose the puck while out of the crease “Pulling a Roy.” It stems from Patrick Roy playing the puck vs New Jersey in the 01 SCF and giving it directly to a Devils player for a goal.
I’ve never understood how reviewing penalties is not just mandatory. The whole it delays the game sure I agree to an extent if we start reviewing every single penalty the way they reviewed the no review two minute call but when they’re replaying the penalty like they always do on the Jumbotron if the referee notices that they got the call wrong rather than just go with it why not reverse the call?
I had the Benny Hill theme already on the computer so I just played the real one when the montage happened. You're welcome, Producer Nick! Dang It, Canucks.
