He touched it and Keller smacked his hand.

Rielly caught it/ knocked it down with his palm.
If Rielly had then got control of the puck/ moved it with his stick it would have been a legal play for Mitch to grab.

Rielly didnt really catch it. If you slow it down Keller's stick hits it at the same time its in Rielly's hand. 50/50 call and it went Arizona's way as they went with the downward motion of the hand vs the stick hitting.

I think it has to be stick to stick even if Keller forced his hand

I already said he palmed it. Doesn’t have to be caught zzzz

Also that gif is super ****ty quality. The live replay looked pretty evident Rielly palmed it.

Erik Karlsson properly does this play regularly every season. Watched him to multiple times

(Just an example cause I’ve seen this happen a dozen times the last few seasons except Karlsson/ teammate allows whoever “hand” touched the puck to be the first touch on the puck)

Just unlucky for Rielly and he was being checked.

guys who had ovi and kuzy on your fanasty team will be happy today

a) no goal was bull****. that's a slashing call on keller.
b) absolutely shouldn't not come down to that

Another Multi Goal Lead blown by the Nucks. 0-3 to start the season.

Lol Pittsburgh lost to us, Montreal’s somehow managed to beat TML and Pittsburgh lmao but can’t beat Detroit, I guess we’re a trap team or we suck, no in between

So Toronto, how do you lose to Arizona and Montreal, there has to be a mindset issue at this point, not just the bad playoff mindset but playing against bad teams mindset too, how can you consistently manage to lose vs teams you have no business losing to

Is the rule glove to stick or just the palming of it? Sounds like the SN announcers were trying to say if it hit Keller’s skate it would be fine

Nucks and Toronto in shambles meanwhile the Habs beat the Pens… lmfao

This is the official rule



It was a 50/50 call but in the officials eyes "Morgan Rielly directed the puck out of the air after being hit with a Keller stick and yet despite that got it down to the ice such that it could hit Clayton Keller's skate then slide behind him to be directed for Marner to get?"

Either way we got more controversy in the NHL but thats what you get with 50/50 calls

Yea and things just got worse Muzzins got a neck injury officially

Hakanpaa bringing the noise with a nice goal against the Jets.

And Kivi with one. I swear this is his first goal since the 2020 playoffs.

LTIR him and go get Kane (Chicago)

Dead serious

leafs are falling apart.


its fun to see

Its more fun to watch a goalie a certain team didnt qualify beat his former team and start a revenge tour

Thanks for Samsonov

thats still puzzles me but charlie has been excellent and we knew that we where getting kuemper. dylan strome has been great

I would have kept Samsonov and signed Kuemper to mentor

But they gave up on him as in reality Sammy didnt have a mentor those 2 bad years. It was when he had Holtby he was good

Don’t cherry pick, read the full rule. subsequently the offending team gains an advantage/ possession of the puck due to the “hand pass/ hand bat”

The Miro-cle Man adds another goal to the Stars tally tonight.

Finnish Mafia is making Hellebuyck's life miserable tonight.

It’s a CORE issue IMO. There is no easy answer or trade here now that the season has started, this is going to be the team minus some depth player once Liljegren is healthy but this is pretty much the same group with mid-level reclamation projects. It’s been the same issues for 6 years:
Not starting on time
Playing down to their opponents
Inconsistent/injury plagued goaltending
Stars taking nights off

Maybe it should have been not resigning Rielly? Trading Muzzin last year? Trading Nylander? Something to change this group.

I’m sure they will go on this massive run, make us all forget, then have another bad game, maybe two, and get another tough 1st Round opponent (FLA/BOS/TBL)
