Why Maple Leafs’ possible tying goal in Game 5 was disallowed

By Anthony On May 13, 2023

Late in the second period of Friday’s Game 5, with the Florida Panthers leading 2-1, Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman Morgan Rielly drove the puck hard to the net and tried to tuck it past the right pad of Sergei Bobrovsky.

Rielly celebrated the play enthusiastically as if he had tied the game, but the officials on the ice signalled no-goal. Then, after a lengthy review, the call on the ice was upheld and the score remained 2-1.

Fans at Scotiabank Arena vented their frustration by throwing debris on the ice and fans on social media vented their frustration, especially after one replay seemed to show the puck under Bobrovsky’s skate and in the net.

However, in a statement released during the second intermission, the NHL said “the referee deemed the play dead prior to the puck crossing the Florida line.”

The statement cites Rule 78.5 (xii), which says a goal can be disallowed “when the referee deems the play has been stopped, even if he had not physically had the opportunity to stop play by blowing his whistle.”
