I’m pulling for the Oilers to win the cup. However, I’m not 100% convinced that it was kicked in. I’ve watched numerous replays of it, and still I’m in doubt. I feel Calgary played a good series overall with Edmonton.
I’m from Calgary and sorry to say he did kick the puck into the goal. His back leg was stuck with the goalies pad and yes he was being pushed but you can see the motion of his front leg going forward. I believe he knew what he was doing and tried to hide it. Regardless if he didn’t do it the puck was already going in. Congrats to Edmonton!! Bring the cup to Canada and home to Alberta🙌🏼🙌🏼
To say that maybe he doesn’t understand the rule that he thinks he can direct the puck with the skate tells you the intent to guide/direct the puck was there, the fact that his skates intentionally followed through into the puck to direct it whether it was going in or not is exactly what the rule was meant to deter… I don’t think there’s any question anymore that they made the right call after seeing this interview…
Sure the ref can take away a goal in a bad call. But it wasn't the refs fault your down 3 to 1. Not the refs fault markstrum was 5.5 gga in the series . Not the refs fault they got outplayed for most of the series.
The problem is that you can say it was a kicking motion but regardless even if his skate didn’t touch the puck it would’ve went into the net regardless and that’s why it’s so ridiculous
Backlund played the best hockey of his life in the playoffs. It was great to see him play so hard. Too bad Calgarys top line evaporated after game 1. Calgary D was never cup worthy. Lewis and Coleman were liabilities and took numerous stupid penalties.
So he gets tripped up… pushed in… he’s looking down and ahead of him where he going to crash and he cant see the puck behind him and deflect it in….all on one leg? It reads like that old Seinfeld Kennedy assassination skit😂
Offence, defence, goaltending Calgary wasn’t there. Calgary doesn’t have the heart an soul to win anything. There just a regular season team like panthers… To lose in 5 when up is sad an embarrassing an they blame Connor.. Calgary will never win anything
He knows dam well he kicked it in … He's trying to convince himself that it was directed in .. point is he said trying to stop well if that was the case should have seen snow flying lol 🤣
Interesting that Coleman was the one who knocked Ceci down (a push on Ceci's back right thigh) just prior to reaching the net. Ceci was falling which makes it difficult to lean on Coleman to make him fall down. I would have expected Coleman to continue skating past the net if he had wanted to but seeing that puck near that goal line was quite inviting…

Vancouver let Markstrom walk for this reason.. Great in the reg season and craps the bed in playoffs…
Coleman should take up soccer
Coleman must be really “kicking himself” over this
The “Foot of God” goal disallowed! Makes up for the two disallowed goals in game 3. Gotta love it! Go Oil!
4-4….5-5 … Calgary had 20 min to end game 5 ….. to sad just did not have the Theo #14 they had johnny #13 …..
That's a distinct kicking motion to the balls right there

I cordially invite all of Canada to cheer for Canada's Team, your Edmonton Oilers. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol Coleman looks like he is gonna cry , hahah
No top line in Calgary. Even though they were favoured to win every game but no Hart or will. == ppl make Money off them
Flames will be back.
Go Oilers Go! Canada's team now…
Calgary won the Stanley Cup in 04, in Calgary due to a similar scenario. The INFAMOUS game 6 Saddle Dome 2004 Stanley Cup winning goal in game 6.
I don't forget. Neither does Sutter. Now he's back. Flames are going nowhere!
"We'll be bock…"
that was a clean goal by coleman
Karma's a beast.
LET'S GO OILERS !!!
Basically he admitted to kicking it in
Shouldn’t have kicked it
Buddy could of just let it go in without trying to direct it in lmfao #gooilers
Does nobody wear their cap the proper manner anymore?
