Got a question on rule clarification, comments on rule enforcements or some memorable NHL stories? Kerry wants to answer your emails at cmonref@tsn.ca! Hey Kerry, In last nights Kings vs. Sharks game, the Kings appeared to have scored a goal shortly after the Sharks made it 2-0 on a power play. The goal was called back because the ref blew the play dead on a premature whistle. The puck never stopped moving and yet it was blown dead. Its obvious the ref would never admit he blew it early and it was a good goal. My question to you is, what can be done to rectify situations like this? Also - during playoffs, when officials make mistakes like this, do they lose the chance to officiate an upcoming game. I understand the game is played at a quick tempo and these guys are doing the best they can and mistakes are made. Im just curious as to what the repercussions are for officials. We all know what they are for players, as the league makes it known. Thanks,Rob KitzanSaskatoon Rob: The reason this goal was negated is because of something referred to as the Referees intent to blow the whistle to stop play. Simply put, that means that once the Ref determines (in his mind) that the puck is frozen or unplayable it is a dead play in that moment irrespective of any delayed time response to physically blow the whistle. This is referenced in the following rules: 31.2 Disputes - As there is a human factor involved in blowing the whistle to stop play, the Referee may deem the play to be stopped slightly prior to the whistle actually being blown. The fact that the puck may come loose or cross the goal line prior to the sound of the whistle has no bearing if the Referee has ruled that the play had been stopped prior to this happening. 78.5 (xii) Disallowed Goals - 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. 85.3 Puck Out of Sight - Should a scramble take place or a player accidentally fall on the puck and the puck be out of sight of the Referee, he shall immediately blow his whistle to stop play. As the puck was shot into Antti Niemi with Dustin Penner hovering at the crease along with Kings defensive traffic , Referee Brad Meier determined (in his mind) that the puck was sufficiently frozen and as a result was in the act of blowing his whistle. With Meiers physical action to blow the whistle taking place, the puck continued on its slide path between Niemis pads and became exposed. Whether Dustin Penner nudged the puck over the goal line or if it travelled there under its own steam is of no consequence; nor is the sound of the Referees whistle being heard just after the puck crossed the goal line. All that is of consequence on is this play is that the Referee deemed the play stopped prior to blowing his whistle as outlined in the above rule references. In hindsight the Referees decision to stop play was premature. A "quick whistle" resulted in a good goal being disallowed. Referee Meier would likely be the first guy to tell you so along with how sick it made him feel once he saw a replay. While this is of no consolation to the LA Kings or their fans the Referee didnt have the benefit of a replay or hindsight. He had to make a split second decision at the time. It proved to be the wrong one. So Rob, how can this situation be avoided and/or rectified in the future? You can bet that the Referee, along with the others presently working in the playoffs, will be more patient in determining a frozen puck and their intent to blow the whistle. The other corrective measure should take place over the summer and allow for video review to take place on a play such as this, in addition to all cases where goalkeeper interference is suspected. Since the overriding factor is the moment the Ref determines the play to be dead (in his mind) no one else could review the play to overturn this thought process. This must be done exclusively by the Referee himself. Any inner thoughts he might have had in the nanosecond would most likely be clearly illuminated once he saw the replay to render the correct decision. I maintain the same is true with goalkeeper interference. Give that call back to the Referee(s) on the ice through video review; whether through a Coaches challenge or just vest the Referee with the authority to review the goal at ice level. As far as repercussions of calls to the Officials, all performances are evaluated and decisions are made as to who moves on to the next round. Previously assigned games would not likely be changed since Referees move from one series to another. This was a human error made by a very honest and good Referee. Stitched Marlins Jerseys .

When I started this, I dont know why, I had just two goals. One was to help a team win a world championship (the Royals won the 2015 World Series) and the other was a thousand wins.Yost said his next goal is to win 1,001 games.He can achieve that goal Sunday as the four-game series with the White Sox continues at Kauffman Stadium.Yosts first managerial victory was April 8, 2003 with Milwaukee. The Brewers lost their first six games that season before defeating the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-3. The winning pitcher was left-hander Glendon Rusch, a former Royal, while Mike DeJean picked up a save. Rusch allowed just one hit over seven innings. Scott Podsednik, another former Royal, drove in two Milwaukee runs. Ironically, Jason Kendall, who is a special assignment coach on Yosts staff, hit a three-run homer for the Pirates.In Yosts 1,000th victory, Dillon Gee earned the W in relief, while Wade Davis collected his 25th save in 28 chances. Jarrod Dyson had two singles, extending his hitting streak to 10 games, and swiped his 28th base in Yosts milestone victory.Of the 62 managers with at least 1,000 wins, Yost is one of 13 with a sub-.500 record. He is 543-542 with the Royals and was 4577-502 with the Brewers.dddddddddddd.Left-hander Jose Quintana will draw his fourth starting assignment this season on Sunday against the Royals. While Quintana is 0-2 with a 3.32 ERA, allowing eight earned runs in 21 1/3 innings, in the first three starts, the White Sox offense has provided him with scant support. They have scored a total of two runs while he was on the mound, 0.83 runs support average. He has received one or no run support in those starts.Quintana limited the Royals to one run over 7 1/3 innings in a no-decision on Aug. 10 that the White Sox lost 3-2 in 14 innings.Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer is just 10-for-59, a .169 average, against Quintana, but has two home runs and 10 RBI. Catcher Salvador Perez is hitting .351, 19-for-54, with two home runs and eight RBI off Quintana.The Royals will counter with left-hander Danny Duffy, who is 6-0 at Kauffman Stadium this season and has not lost at home since Sept. 5, 2015, a 6-1 setback against the White Sox. He is one of three major league pitchers unbeaten at home this season with at least six victories.Duffy is 11-2 with a 3.13 ERA, but is winless since Aug. 21. He has three no-decisions and an Aug. 27 lost at Boston since his last victory. Duffy is averaging 9.57 strikeouts per nine innings. The franchise record is Zack Greinke, 9.50 in 2009. ' ' '
