There are so many discrepancies to calls and sh!t and its really starting to annoy me. You kicked it? yes? No goal. End of story.

What if he kicked it and it hit Moose's pad and went in?

That would be no goal. They got the call right, but the rule makes no sense. So Salvador should have just stopped trying to play defense so the goal wouldn't count?

What am I missing here?:

49.2 Goals - Kicking the puck shall be permitted in all zones. A goal cannot be scored by an attacking player who uses a distinct kicking motion to propel the puck into the net. A goal cannot be scored by an attacking player who kicks a puck that deflects into the net off any player, goalkeeper or official.

I guess that it didn't deflect off a "player"; rather a player's stick, so it counts?

Rule 49.2 (ii) A kicked puck that deflects off the stick of any player (excluding the goalkeeper’s stick) shall be ruled a good goal.

Totally moronic rule but I guess the right call.

I think the point of that part of the rule is so if you kick it and it's going wide and it goes off someone and into the net, then yea of course that should count. But if you kick it and it's going on net and it deflects off a defender and still manages to go in, then I don't think that should count. I think that's the intent of the rule but since it's not written that way I suppose they got it right.

im kinda okay with that rule eventhough its weird... what if a guy clearly kick it on purpose and youre de defender... are you not gonna try to clear it just in case you miss and that it goes off your stick?

but on that goal seems like he kicked it over the stick but his skate followed through on the puck even after the stick

Yea but in this case he would have been better off not even trying to stop it, which is why it is a stupid rule.

Overall good period. Few minor mistakes, few dumb penalties, but the offense has been pretty good so far. The forecheck by Parise tonight is on.

Another win after last nights would be a HUGE boost for the Devils. The team needs the extra confidence.
