Lol lu Posted via RS Mobile

he also started momentum the other way. guess the refs gave us a break for once

Am i reading this right? Our own Canuck fans are complaining about the winning shootout goal scored by us...... Who the fuck cares, we won

I'm not complaining. I'm generally curious about the rules. Ill take any Canuck victory no matter how we win it.

Granted the puck never stopped, Raymond came to a stop and even went backwards a bit.

the hell, first day watching shootouts or something?
Why do some of you guys sound like you've never seen Raymond (or any player) do the spinorama move before??

:suspicious:

I used to beat a dead horse about how "cheap" this move was from a goalies pov.

but I don't really care anymore. Plus, I think Smith stopped it last season. (and I analyzed that replay 100 times)

and it's legal because the official rule states that only the puck needs to maintain continues motion.

maybe i'm asking too much, but i'm not sure if i am still satisfied with tonight's win. Seems like ever since the cup run, Nucks has been winning games by a thread via shootout.

TRADE LU WHILE HIS VALUE IS HIGH!!!

:troll:

Lu again proving he's been the better goalie this season :p

The official rule is something like the puck has to be in continuous motion, but not necessarily in a forward direction I believe.

If you really want to get technical, when you stick handle, everytime the puck moves back and forth, there is technically a split second where the motion of the puck is stopped before it can go in a different direction. You can also do a toe drag and pull the puck backwards yet it would still be a legal move.

lol i remember there was a huge debate with spin-o-rama shootout moves last season

Who the fuck cares? WE WON PEOPLE

:facepalm:

I would say the puck can stop its forward motion IF the player/play continues in a forward motion. And the player can stop its forward motion IF the puck/play continues in a forward motion.

My thing on Spin-O-rama's is that they should have to continue in one fluid motion from spin to shot. If the player does a spin, and then stops and/or stick handles and then shoots, it should not count. I think Burrows' spin a while back shouldn't count since he stick handled the puck while standing stopped after his spin. Had he did his spin and turned and fired, I think it woulda been Ok. But the league said it woulda been OK. so that one and a few others sort of show you can do whatever you want. Has there even been a goal from a spin denied yet? I guess no ref wants to be the first to deny one.

At work, how was the game? Did we dominate or barely hold on and win in the SO?

Garrison scored with dat booming slap shot

Sup phaggot

DAMN. Epic comeback by Pittsburgh tonight. 3 goals in the 3rd to erase a 2-0 Boston lead.

Garrison played his best game in a Nucks uniform today

srs.

oh hey raymond didnt fall down in the shoot out :badpokerface:
(still rmbred the last time he tried the spin o rama and fell..)

Official Rules - Rule 24: Penalty Shot - NHL.com - Rules

One area of the rule states:
The purpose of this is so people don't skate backwards toward the other side of the rink and back-peddle after they begin skating toward the goalie.

This move is legal as it's regarded like a toe-drag where the puck does move backwards, but the player still has full possession of the puck.
As well, the player that's spinning doesn't skate "backward". They are simply pivoting.




Burrows attempt on 2nd look, is actually very legal.
As the puck never once stopped. And as a bonus, it even continued forward... very slowly.
A shot was never taken prior to Burrow's spin, so he was still good to stick handle and shoot.

Kerry Fraser also discussed about Burrow's shootout attempt.
Fraser: Checking out Alex Burrows's shootout attempt


Burrow's expression at 0:49.
:notbad:

Minny is losing 2-1 to the ducks. Were going back in 1st place in the division..back the wagon I go! ...lol

When was the last time a spin-o-rama shootout goal called back? Raymond's goal was legal, get over it. :facepalm:

Anyways.. I thought Booth played pretty good

ah i never actually took a good second look, he didnt actually stick handle and pull it back on his backhand like i thought he did

Corey Perry is a dirtbag.

Would love it if the Canucks sign him this summer.

Buyout Booth + Ballard, sign Perry :fullofwin:
