Apparently there's a fine line between kicking motion and distinct kicking motion in the NHL's eyes.Milan Lucic gave critics plenty of ammunition for argument on Saturday when he deflected a puck past New York Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist. Off his skate with his foot turned in a kicking style.Audio here is by the Boston Bruins telecast team of Jack Edwards and Andy Brickley. Watch and decide: goal or no goal?Yep, the NHL eyeballs in Toronto decided to allow the goal. Here's the Julian Okwara Jersey edict from the situation room.At 1:41 of the first period in the Rangers/Bruins game, video review determined that the puck deflected off Milan Lucic's skate and into the net in a legal fashion. According to Rule 49.2 "A puck that deflects into the net off an attacking player's skate who does not use a distinct kicking motion is a legitimate goal." Good goal Boston.Apparently, Lucic wasn't imitating the New England Patriots' Stephen Gostkowski or the New England Revolution's Jermaine Jones. Sing along with Charlie Sanders Jersey the NHL: A kick ain't got a thing if it ain't got that swing.Forget for a second that the Bruins were facing Lundqvist, the Rangers goalie making his first start in nearly two months after a neck injury. Sentimentality is checked at the Garden gate when these Original Six teams meet.Sorry, King Henrik. The Bruins pasted His Rusty Highne s for three goals in the first 20 minutes.Gotta be one of the worst periods the Rangers Dean Marlowe Jersey have played all season. Bruins 3-0 Rangers. NYR down in 22-10 in faceoffs. Ay caramba! Sean Hartnett (@HartnettHockey) But moments like this don't go without controversy. Consider these comments via Twitter from hockey observers.Lundqvist made initial save on Bergeron, replay on Boston monitor shows Lucic kicked it in with his right skate, no stick. Shouldn't count Pat Leonard (@PLeonardNYDN) Like I said, no distinct kicking motion. He just turned his skate blade. That's allowed this year. Good goal for Lucic and it's 1-0 B's Hunter Bryant Jersey Joe Haggerty (@HackswithHaggs) Lucic turns his foot to kick the puck into the net. Call on the ice is no goal. So the NHL had ABSOLUTE evidence that wasn't kicked lol Joe Fortunato (@BlueshirtBanter) Lucic later scored without generating controversy.Like I said, no distinct kicking motion. He just turned his skate blade. That's allowed this year. Good goal for Lucic and it's 1-0 B's Joe Haggerty (@HackswithHaggs) Except for one thing Why can't Lucic play like this every game? Sam Marklew (@Krejci46A) Bruins fans can only wonder why as their team Detroit Lions Kids Jersey struggles to make it into the Stanley Cup playoffs.
