Early during last night's game between the Bruins and Hurricanes Martin Necas shot the puck at Jeremy Swayman and the puck was almost in or barely in and it has divided the hockey community on whether it should have been a good goal or no goal.
You don't see many closer calls than last night's call for this shot that was ruled a goal on the ice but no goal after review.
Upon review it was determined this puck did NOT cross the line in the Hurricanes vs. Bruins game 👀
Goal or no goal?
Goal or no goal?
The question of if this was a goal or not has divided the hockey world. Here are some of the arguments.
That's the right call. The puck clearly doesn't full cross the line
If my team is shooting it's clearly a goal you'd have to be blind to see otherwise. If they're defending it's quite obviously not a goal idk what you think you're looking at
Good goal. And the officials need to take a «beyond a reasonable doubt» approach on these type of calls. Same with late offsides calls disallowing a call. If it's too close to call or there isn't SUBSTANTIAL proof, do NOT reverse the call
Ruled as a goal and taken back is absolutely ridiculous. That's borderline fixing the game
Whether this was a goal or not will be up to each individual to decide but it certainly is a strong argument for having chips installed into the pucks for puck-tracking technology that can instantly tell when a goal is scored or not.
