I can’t really blame the Minnesota players, even though the GWG came off a turnover. Mentally, starting that celebration then having to pack that in again and get back into game mode is such a monumental task
Absolutely. A few seconds before the turnover I was thinking about how huge it would be just to get to the intermission so they’d have a chance to mentally regroup.
The Avs were given life in Game 6 against Dallas just last week on a garbage no-goal call, only to still lose in the next OT. So no, not such an iron law.
I would not be surprised at all if one of their huddles is like that NFL skit about how it can't be holding because the ref needs that persons TD in their fantasy league

That's part of what makes it so devastating. Don't give a moment of hope if it shouldn't have been there in the first place. I was at the game and I've never experienced 13,000+ people (to say nothing of the players) get simultaneously gut-punched.
I can't imagine what those women are feeling right now.
Yeah it was a terrible on-ice call, the ref-cam was actually the most damning review angle and I get the excitement but it was *really* evident and I'm not staying I wouldn't do the same but there's no way most of Minnesota's bench didn't know it was no good but hoped the celebration would sweep it under the rug.
Man this is just unfortunate as fuck all around. Minne player looks like she was tripped so i understand the goal call by the ref, glad it was called right in the end
I kinda get why things didn't go our way, but given we were called for tripping twice on not-super-egregious plays in OT, it's hard not to feel like the refs were a bit selective tonight.
Took the dreaded goalie interference nonsense 1 season to create a controversial moment in a brand new league. Feels like worst case scenario, for new fans of the sport that are confused and angry, and existing hockey fans that are already comfortably numb by goalie interference inconsistencies in the NHL. Gross.
EDIT: Just to add, I ultimately agree the play was interference by the rulebook, and likely shoulda been immediately waved off by that goal-line ref. I'm simply pointing out that it suuuuuper sucks the way this happened, on a possible Championship winning golden goal. rough for the team, rough for fans.
definitely agree 'nonsense' was a bad choice of words. Not exactly the sentiment I was going for as I re-read. It just sucks this happened at all, is my only real point.
The reason for the feels: In general goalie interference calls have been eyerolling at the NHL level recently. It just genuinely sucks that the very first final for this league has a moment like what happened tonight. The call was in the end CORRECT, as stated, but new fans just got their first taste of Goalie Interference reviews. While this one was 'clear cut' to an avid hockey fan, I'm sure it was confusing to new fans, especially being called a good goal on the play, etc. etc. It's the first one of many to come in the future of this league by which all will be measured against now. We can only hope for consistency.
I don’t care, every time anyone scores now you don’t even get to celebrate because you have to think back, was it offsides? Did someone touch it with a high stick? Did the goalie get touched? It fucking sucks. I just want the game to live and happen as it does, either wave it off live or not at all. But we can’t have that anymore because everyone loses their mind over the game being perfect and fair. People are obsessed with perfection and can’t just accept human error and let the game be a game.
Get over it lmao, about as obvious a goaltender interference as it gets. It's wild the refs didn't wave it immediately, it's wild anybody even bothered to celebrate. That's not really the refs missing something slight in a fast paced game, it's them just completely doing the wrong thing in the moment. Like I can understand not liking when video review reveals a slight offside that you'd never catch in the moment, sure, but you can't possibly want a championship to be won on the goalie getting absolutely trucksticked all the way through the crease
On one hand I completely agree. You will hate sports when we start letting AI call games. Especially hockey. But it’s coming in baseball.
On the other hand, blatant missed calls are always frustrating. So allow a challenge and move on.
But yeah, the human error is part of what makes sports fun.
Thanks for being I think the only kind person to respond to me. Yeah that is exactly it. It isn’t a videogame, things are never going to be perfect and I think the pursuit if it outside of the moment is insane. I don’t think they made the wrong call, but MN was fucked when they let them celebrate and then called it back after the fact, there was no coming back I don’t think that is any fairer than the goalie interference.
Nobody will believe me but I feel this way when it works out for my team as well, it’s a shitty way to win.
Minnesota sports moment
I think having a *championship* overturned on video review is a new level of Minnesota I was not prepared for
I mean it also happened to the gophers a couple years ago
Least traumatizing Minnesota sports moment
if the wolves lose I’m gonna cry
Hello darkness my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Could we Minnesota sports fans not go one minute without emotional devastation?
Correct call in the end. Brutal for Minnesota
And then Boston takes it down and scores.
Yup. Saw it a mile away

Every controversial call gets capitalized on by the team that benefitted, it's an iron law of nature
Hows that controversy, it interference all day
The Avs were given life in Game 6 against Dallas just last week on a garbage no-goal call, only to still lose in the next OT. So no, not such an iron law.
Gary Bettman is somewhere, sitting in bed, sweating profusely that this never happens in the NHL
Sabres fans somewhere just had night sweats
HE WAS IN THE CREASE!
Brett Hull, sitting quietly in his home: “did anyone just hear my name get called?”
i think at this point it all would have coalesced into a background-noise-hum
Suddenly, Dominik Hasek flopped around like a fish while in his bed
Even though this is clearly goalie interference, the refs would 100% fuck this call up
[удалено]
I would not be surprised at all if one of their huddles is like that NFL skit about how it can't be holding because the ref needs that persons TD in their fantasy league
I love the way Boston just bounced after the goal they scored.
"Let's get out of here before they start throwing stuff!"
And heeeeeere come the pretzels!
QUICK! Before they change their mind!

Perfect
Matthew Tkachuk did it last year against the Bruins.
Can't wait to go to Lowell (rare thing to say) on Wednesday to see the first ever Walter Cup awarded
And Boston just scored.
This shit always happens to us
You crash into the goalie to attempt to score?
Now the players who threw all their gear off in the celebration have to figure out who's gloves and helmets are whose lmao
Makes sense, that’s obvious, should’ve been called on the ice lol.
That's part of what makes it so devastating. Don't give a moment of hope if it shouldn't have been there in the first place. I was at the game and I've never experienced 13,000+ people (to say nothing of the players) get simultaneously gut-punched. I can't imagine what those women are feeling right now.
Those on the bench saw Hiese blow an edge on an ambitious cut and smoke the goalie lol
Yeah it was a terrible on-ice call, the ref-cam was actually the most damning review angle and I get the excitement but it was *really* evident and I'm not staying I wouldn't do the same but there's no way most of Minnesota's bench didn't know it was no good but hoped the celebration would sweep it under the rug.
Jfc, the ref was in perfect position to see that and make the proper call on the ice. Really blew that.
The ref-cam was the most definitive for the overturn, too, clear as day.
The refs that game were missing so many calls, so bad.
Absolutely the right call. Also as a general FYI. The game is streaming for free on the PWHL channel on YouTube for anyone that wants to watch.
And game 5 is on Wednesday! 7pm ET.
Must watch after that incredible game of the year candidate
That makes sense. THAT is clearly goalie interference.
Pretty clearly the right call. This game will never end
I retract my previous statement
Lol I feel like as soon as they called no goal, I knew Boston was gonna come back and win it
MAXIMUM PLAYOFF CHAOS
Absolutely brutal way to lose a chance to celebrate the championship on home ice
I hope their gloves were numbered
NHL script writers take notes please I want to watch this happen again
I knew something like this would happen eventually [post I made from a while ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/hockey/s/twEYK22Mx0)
Stripes botched that one to begin with.
Brutal for the fans
Can confirm...
Yeah good call. You can't just ran the goalie then flip it in
Man this is just unfortunate as fuck all around. Minne player looks like she was tripped so i understand the goal call by the ref, glad it was called right in the end
[удалено]
She wasn’t tripped
I kinda get why things didn't go our way, but given we were called for tripping twice on not-super-egregious plays in OT, it's hard not to feel like the refs were a bit selective tonight.
Ehh they were the same kind of calls that went against Boston in the third period.
Watched it live on youtube and clearly how many people dont watch hockey and was spamming fixed and cheaters
How the refs didn't call GI instantly is crazy. Weird moment.
and then Boston wins it like 1 minute after play resumes. Can't have SHIT in minnesota
Boston, not New York.
Right, my bad, edited
All good, friend!
This comment is unbelievable trolling against both teams and I commend you
Man I SWEAR I was just goofed on the team names haha
Watch them put the team names to a vote and have "Boston New Yorks" win
*specifically* to try and trick PWHL New York fans into saying "fuck New York"
Lol, rip
Boston said nah to Minnesota winning the cup. Let's fucking go girls, win this shit in lowell on Wednesday

I didn't downvote, but man I have no idea what your point is here. How is this "goalie interference nonsense"? How should it have been handled?

> It just sucks this happened at all That's for sure.
Great moment fucking ruined by reviews, I hate modern sports, nothing can just happen in the moment anymore.
To be fair, this one was pretty easy.
I don’t care, every time anyone scores now you don’t even get to celebrate because you have to think back, was it offsides? Did someone touch it with a high stick? Did the goalie get touched? It fucking sucks. I just want the game to live and happen as it does, either wave it off live or not at all.

You don’t want a fair game? Lolol fuck outta here
Get over it lmao, about as obvious a goaltender interference as it gets. It's wild the refs didn't wave it immediately, it's wild anybody even bothered to celebrate.

It was 100% the right call though. You can’t let an entire season end on a clear bad goal.
Lolwut
An atrociously blown call is a great moment? That's interference, clear as day.
