The worse call as far as disallowed playoff goals has to be.....?

Question

The goal Brett Hull scored to clinch the cup for Dallas, what's yours?

Answer 1

It was the worst inasmuch as it was the Cup winning goal.  However, it was a game #6 call, so the odds were still with Dallas to win it.  The worst in my direct memory is the kicked in goal that was awarded to Edmonton against Detroit a couple years back.  The video review - which was used - showed clearly it was kicked "with a distinct kicking motion" but for some unfathomable reason it was allowed anyway.  This was a game #6, also, but Detroit was down 3-2, not ahead, so the impact was greater.

HOWEVER --- as I have said many times, any team that lets itself be put in a position where a bad call can cost them a game or a series, has only themselves to blame.  Bad calls WILL happen - it's a fact of NHL life - so you cannot complain for more than a couple minutes, and you have to accept that YOU, the team, allowed that call to be the determining factor.

BUTT - I think the "his butt broke the plane" line will last forever.

Answer 2

you do realize that particular goal counted right?  It was not disallowed, but it should have been.  I'd say the worst goal to be disallowed was in the 1994 finals.  A rangers goal was disallowed (sorry, can't remember who "scored") due to a stick being essentially in the "air space" of the goal crease

Answer 3

The Gelinas goal against Tampa Bay. We (the Flames) won the cup.

Answer 4

That wasn't disallowed, it should have been. See this kinda confuses me because I take it as goals that GOT disallowed. Now based on how you mean it I think that is the worst that I saw. It was what like 2 am(Eastern time) and I wanted to scream at my TV.

Answer 5

same.

Answer 6

I remember once they ALLOWED a goal when it clearly went through the netting into the net.  I believe it was in '98 Buffalo vs. Philly.  Not sure though.  I don't remember who it benefitted either.
