Huh? If the whistle blew before the puck crossed the line (as it certainly did), how do you figure "it was clearly a goal"?
The rule on the whistle is that, even if the puck had crossed the line BEFORE the whistle blew, the ref can rule it a no-goal if he intended to blow the whistle before the puck crossed the line.
Actually, that was the SECOND Oilers goal not allowed. The first one was earlier in the game when the ref lost sight of the puck, thought Quick had it and blew the whistle right before Nail shot it in the net. Officiating was horrendous, sure, but I'd rather it be horrendous for BOTH sides than biased towards one side. Two 3 on 5 opportunities and...nothing. Pathetic. And when I say nothing I mean player movement...let alone scoring a damn goal.
Yea, my brother has one similar, it has mustard on it thanks to Warren Rychel who was eating a hot dog while signing his jersey years ago at the fire and ice celebrity game at the Pond. remember that one?
On another funny note, biznasty threw my at the time 3 year old daughter a puck during game 4 warmups of the WCF and it landed straight in my beer. ahh, the memories. He owes me $11.
We did something similar to some idiot Giants fan while we were at a Dodger game. The guy was about 5 rows down from us, and he was running his mouth the entire time, trying to instigate a fight. He was making classless comments about a Dodger fan that had been stabbed outside a Giants game just weeks earlier... and it was pissing everyone off.
So we started pelting him in the back with peanuts... after we dipped them in our nacho cheese. The people next to us started doing the same, so he had splotches of nacho cheese all over the back of his jersey by the time the game was over. He thought we were just hitting him with peanuts, I don't think he realized he had cheese all over his back.![]()
