Study The Rule Book

from Tarik El-Bashir of Capitals Insider,
Jose Theodore didn’t know the rule, and neither did Coach Bruce Boudreau. So here it is: No. 25.2, which states, “No goal can be scored on a rebound of any kind (an exception being the puck off the goal post or crossbar, then the goalkeeper and then directly into the goal).
So that’s why Ryan Callahan’s decisive in penalty shots on Wednesday was allowed to stand after it hit the crossbar, bounced off an unsuspecting Jose Theodore and back into the net.
Theodore said it’s a lesson learned.
“To be honest, I thought when it hit the crossbar, when it comes back out that it was a no play,” he said. “So I didn’t really ... I didn’t know where the puck was, but I knew it wasn’t going in. I didn’t really try to get out of the way because to me it was a no goal. Obviously, I was wrong. It’s a lesson I learned.”
continued and watch the SO goal below…

I thought Ryan Callahan was probably the best player on the ice last night. He skated hard, finished his checks, went to the net consistently and generated scoring chances. All around he played a great game.

Clearly this was a good goal, but what confused me was why the ref emphatically waived the goal off before the play was finished. It is Theodore’s responsability to keep focused on keeping the puck out of the net, but the theatrics of the ref can be done without.

PS
Boudreau and Theodore’s lack of understanding of the rulebook should also give you some insight as to when coaches and players challenge the officials. A lot of it is just bluster and has nothing to do with the actual call.

What I couldn’t understand about this play.. Why would you knowingly let the puck slide in the net? It wasn’t like Callahan touched the puck the play was still alive it hit the cross bar and was still in motion. Clearly after the puck hit the cross bar Theodore gave up on the play, he has his hands up in the air before the puck even goes in the net…
