Watch Brian Holzinger. While Hull is banging away at rebounds and Hasek is sprawled on his face trying to corral the puck, Holzinger skates right between the two of them. I'm sure he was trying to knock Hull out of the way, but missed completely. How do you miss a stationary object (and not a guy who was really fleet of foot even when not stationary)? My two cents: if you can't make that check, you don't deserve to win.BobEnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518202653898886981.post-48809071063964586032012-05-31T00:56:53.451-04:002012-05-31T00:56:53.451-04:00You know, DGB, regarding this - and your Grantland...You know, DGB, regarding this - and your Grantland post - I think the Flames '04 "phantom goal" wins the award for "most egregious non-call of all time."<br /><br />I get that the Brett Hull goal in '99 has a pretty strong case and tends to be the default choice... but I think what sets the Flames goal apart for me is it indesputably changed the outcome of the game.<br /><br />If Hull's goal had been waved off for skate-in-the-crease, it's entirely possible one of the other Stars still could have scored and won the game. Or even if they lost, that they could have won in game 7. The Sabres weren't guarenteed to win.<br /><br />Likewise, while Fraser's non-call on Gretzky was awful, there's nothing saying the Leafs would have scored on the resulting powerplay. Even if they did, it's hard to believe they'd have won in the final given the way that Montreal played (and how tired the Leafs were already from a grueling playoff run).<br /><br />But the Flames? If that call was made the way it should have been, the cup is theirs. No ifs ands buts or maybes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
