Even as an Avs fan I have to say - the stars won this game twice. That interference call was absolutely absurd

[@Soundtracks92]

Yeah that’s the worst call I’ve seen all season, and one of the top 10 worst calls I’ve ever seen

[@Zeelidox]

Respect for recognizing it and gg man, after watching game 5 I was fully expecting a game 7. Good luck next year

[@pfisher737]

Even as a Stars I have to say - thank you for your honesty... One of the worst calls I've seen in my life. It almost cost the NHL a fan for life. If that goal was against Dallas I'd be saying the same thing.. and good Series.. see you next time.. Great Comment.

[@mattsmith2656]

Can you imagine the uproar if they'd overturned it, in overtime, to end the series? It was a bad call on the ice from a bad perspective. But there was never any chance they were going to overturn that call, regardless how obvious it may or may not have been (yes, it was obvious, it should have been a goal). They're just not going to do that.

[@aaronreeve1414]

^ If this game has been in Dallas, I think they would have overturned the call. It would have generated some controversy and discussion later, but they wouldn’t have had the immediate problem of the home team crowd potentially getting ugly (throwing stuff, etc).

[@Wayf4rer]

It was a no goal because Mackinnon and Makar play for the team who it would have gone against. If that had happened to either Edmonton or Vancouver, the refs would have personally escorted Mcdavid and JT Miller off the ice.

[@generaldestiny8862]

Honestly feels like they waved it off because Georgiev stopped playing once the contact was made and started complaining before the puck even went in. The officials probably thought that if he didn’t just give up from that little knock he could’ve had a chance to make a play there and stop that puck.

[@Zharghar08]

Stars won this twice of course, but I gotta say...when the game goes into 2OT, there's absolutely no reason to have guys who've played less than 10m. I know their offensive depth is very top heavy, but the Avs really should've trusted their 4th line with some of the burden. I thought Duhaime was effective at his role all series and yet he didn't even break 9m in this game. At least they trusted the 3rd line more this time, but too little too late I guess. Dallas' depth really shined this series.

THG, so here is one way as a Dallas fan I rationalized the Marchment no goal as a goal. I heard the commentators talk a lot about the intention to "fight back for position." Georgiev (who was stellar) never even tracked the play itself. If you watch the replay, he was so well covered by Duchene (out of the crease) that he never tracked the puck. He was looking at Duchene's back the entire play, trying to look to his right rather than his left where Marchment was at and the puck was passed to. You can call goalie interference on a lot of plays that are deliberate or "too-close-to-call" but if the goalie is never actually tracking the play, it is kind of like calling a pass interference in football if the receiver walks backwards into the linebacker. I think the rules need to include a deliberate obstruction call. For example, most fans think sean avery's antics were laughable but effective against brodeur, but, they genuinely obstructed his view of the play itself. If given the regular chance to watch the play, but obstructed only after the puck is released (as seen on replay) can you really say it is goalie interference or merely a goalie who lost track of the play and got bumped after puck was mere inches from the net. I reckon even without the bump that the puck would have gone in. Maybe wishful thinking, maybe too many contentions. Spoken from a Stars fan who would have said the Avs had scored on the exact same play out of fairness and love for the game

Screening the goalie should not be against the rules. No way, dude.

[@BsAsNB]

​@@angiebee2225 totally agree. I should clarify that by deliberate i meant actively pushing the goalie or forcibly taking him off the play. But the action by the goalie needs to be deliberate too. If no movement towards the puck is made by the goalie, the goalie is already beat.

love you Shannon, that game 2 review pissed me off and I'm so glad it was so wrong. LETS FUCKING GO STARS

[@Yallowbanana]

Shannon I’m a total hockey casual and Dallas native and i just want to thank you for making hockey easier to understand and digest love the videos

[@hockey582004]

Honestly, I didn't see this going to Dallas. Congratulations to them. Keep up the great work, and happy your team won, they looked great!

[@roadtrip2943]

What a frantic pace this series was played at. How is the pavelski helper to Duchesne in 2OT not an assist

[@treeman5648]

Duchene rockstar goal

[@lainescheck8781]

Lights too bright in the arena 😂 you crack me up dude

[@luvslogistics1725]

They’ve now eliminated the last two champions and this is a young team, the core of it, the decisive players are young and the old are just supporting cast

[@TeeDee87]

Nice 3-1 double ot win. That was so ridiculous call that I still cant believe it.

[@lb12thriverwarrior]

I upvoted this video just for the Sprite Zero affirmation. I also felt like I was the parent of a little kids soccer game watching the stars. Where your team is just clearing the ball but not really doing anything possession wise.

[@kylewilliams378]

Your ability to stay on track reading the tiny lines is comparable to a game 6 series clinching goal in OT

Great movie

[@danbeaudreau499]

The nhl needs an ex goalie to be the guy in Toronto that is in charge of all goalie interference reviews. Same guy for every review, no days off.

[@73Ambassador]

Otter stood on his head and helped vanquish the Avs despite the refs and situation room trying to give Colorado the win. I don't usually blame the refs, but that was terrible!Eddie Olczyck must be in mourning tonight.

[@RukaRadebe]

This result confirms there will be an end to a long standing fanbase's suffering - Dallas is the most recent cup winner still alive and that was 25 years ago!

Welcome back to the NHL’s Game Show: Is This Goaltender Interference?

[@sammybowker7823]

these playoffs have made it obvious the league itself has no fuckin clue what goalie interference is. GO STARS!!!

[@josephtylerdc9830]

Cheers Shannon !!!! Boy was I livid when they disaloud that goal... phew 😥 they got it done anyways. I've been posting quite a bit on this channel since after the all star break about how I thought you were under-rating this stars team all year and though I understood your speculations, I truly believedddd it to be true !!! We're heading back to the WCF!!! 💚 Let's go starsss 🌟

[@Tbiblaine23]

Guarantee the only reason they did not call that overtime goal a goal was because they didn’t want a playoff game to end like that

[@rix911]

They wanted 7 games and ESPN wanted the Avs for ratings.

[@pfisher737]

@rix911... massive market Denver pushing small market DFW around for ratings.... lol

[@lelouchvibritannia4028]

​@@pfisher737I think it's more about MacKinnon, Makar, and Rantanen, our hall of fame level players lol.
