Got a question on rule clarification, comments on rule enforcements or some memorable NHL stories? Kerry wants to answer your emails at cmonref@tsn. Real Madrid Jerseys .ca. Kerry, Just watched the shootout in the Coyotes/Leafs game and I have to ask, why was the James van Riemsdyk goal allowed to count? All of the video replays we were shown on TV were inconclusive about whether the puck had entirely crossed the line or not. Neither ref made an attempt at blowing the whistle or pointing at the net and no call was made on the play as it was sent right to the video replay judges. Only after the replay was reviewed was the goal allowed to count. Paul Devorski told Coyotes coach Dave Tippett that he was sure it was a goal. If Devorski was so confident it was a goal then why didnt he signal a goal and blow the whistle? Why did he send it to the video replay? Their indecision and explanation do not seem to match up. Your insight would be greatly appreciated as it appears the Leafs were the recipients of the proverbial home ice advantage! Thanks,Chad Conner in Phoenix Chad, After witnessing JVRs ultimate shootout goal, neither referees (Rob Martell and Paul Devorski) signaled a goal nor did they make a waive off. Understandably, they appeared uncertain and indecisive as they searched to find the puck from underneath Smiths pads. The puck did not become visible until Smith wisely and carefully manipulated his pads from inside the net and kicked his feet forward until the puck appeared well out in the middle of his goal crease. Since no signal was made by either referee as required, I must assume they did not and could not see the puck across the goal line. As such, they were unable and unwilling to make an initial call. The only alternative for Martell and Devorski at this point was to pass the decision upstairs to video review which has become the safety net for the official. Video review rendered an inconclusive verdict since no camera angle was available to clearly demonstrate the puck crossing the goal line due to the obstructed view from Smiths pads! The call then reverted back to the referee(s) on the ice for a final decision. Referee Rob Martell was on the head set throughout the video review process. The referee was either provided with input and assistance from upstairs and/or Martell used common sense and logic to deduce that since the puck was under Mike Smiths pads and Smiths pads were across the goal line a legal goal should be counted. I agree with the referees ultimate decision in that it is most logical and probable that the puck completely crossed the goal line. I have personally stood on the goal line and signaled a goal when the puck was caught by the goalkeeper with his glove across the line and then pulled his glove and the puck forward out of the net. The puck was in the glove and the glove was across the goal line and inside the net. I also counted goals when the goalkeeper carried the puck across the line and into the net. I made these decisions immediately and without hesitation. There was no video review to act as a safety net. Even when the review process was implemented I wanted to see the play and make the call. - This very late decision by the on-ice referee Thursday night following video review highlights at least two flaws in the current system. The first is that two different standards can be applied in determining goals. Video review must clearly see the puck across the goal line with an unobstructed view before they will verify a goal. The evidence must be unequivocal! If this cant be achieved video review personnel render an inconclusive verdict even in cases where it appears logical that the puck would have crossed the line. - The referee, on the other hand, as we saw demonstrate on this call, allowed a goal to stand by applying logic, common sense and the power of deduction to determine that in his judgment the puck had crossed the goal line. My recommendation is to provide the referee with the authority to review controversial goals at ice level (including goalkeeper interference) and have the final authority and judgment in these matters. The optics on JVRs ultimate goal determination looked ridiculous! Referee Martell (and Devorski) did not make a decision on the play in real time. Martell then spent several minutes communicating through a head set and staring into space. Following the inconclusive review verdict, Referee Martell was forced to render a final decision - one that he was unable or unwilling to make in real time! The Refs are supposed to make a call one way or the other in real time; let them also make the final decision through the video review process, As Referee Rob Martell demonstrated Thursday night, thats in their job description and what they get paid to do!

Kenny Miller scored from the penalty spot and Camilo Sanvezzo came off the bench to add two late goals as the Whitecaps kept their playoff hopes alive with a 3-0 victory over the sagging Impact on Saturday afternoon.MELBOURNE, Australia - In her two-decade career on the tennis tour, Venus Williams has seen plenty of players come and go.She used to take the court against the likes of Steffi Graf and Jennifer Capriati. Now that theyre long since retired, shes playing against women who werent even born when she and her sister Serena turned pro in the mid-1990s.I think everybody we grew up with has moved on, into a mature life, Venus said with a laugh at the Australian Open on Saturday after yet another victory at a Grand Slam tournament — win No. 223, to be exact. We just cant figure out how were still here.At 34, Venus is not just still here — shes playing in the second week of a Grand Slam again after rallying to beat Italian Camila Giorgi, a player more than a decade her junior. Venus was two points from defeat before turning the match around and prevailing 4-6, 7-6 (3), 6-1.Its her first appearance in the round of 16 of a major since Wimbledon in 2011 and her subsequent disclosure that shed been diagnosed with Sjogrens syndrome, an autoimmune disease that causes fatigue and joint pain.The years since her diagnosis have been trying as shes had to learn how to live with the illness while continuing her career as a pro athlete. Her results began to suffer. Once a constant fixture in the later round of slams, she got used to losing early. Her ranking dipped and she began to face more and more questions about retirement.But Venus never viewed her condition — or her steadily increasing age — as an impediment to being competitive on the court again.The years go by fast, she said. Its definitely been a lot of work andd a lot of learning and a lot of perseverance. Luca Zidane Real Madrid Jersey. It will continue to be that for me. Just have to come to terms with it.Slowly, shes worked her way back into the top 20 and now, with her win over Giorgi, closer to the top 10 again. And she has a chance to reach the quarterfinals of a major for the first time since the 2010 U.S. Open if she beats her next opponent, sixth-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska.Her run at Melbourne Park this week has motivated her sister to rally from a set down in her own third-round match on Saturday and drawn praise from players both young and old.Shes been huge for American tennis. Shes been huge for womens tennis, in general, said 19-year-old American Madison Keys. And even now, shes still playing, still dominating, and its one of those things where you think, hopefully I can have a career like hers one day.Billie Jean King, one of the trailblazers in womens tennis, posted her congratulations on social media following Venus third-round victory.I am inspired by @Venuseswilliams every time she takes the court. Great to see her healthy, competing and loving what she does.Radwanska presents a much stiffer challenge in the next round. Although Venus holds a 5-4 edge in their head-to-head matchups, her last victory came nearly five years ago. Radwanska has won three matches since then, all in straight sets.But Venus isnt counting herself out. Shes still playing to win titles — just like her sister.I think our perspective is were still quite good at what we do, she said. While were here, were going to be here. While were gone, we might watch (tennis) on TV.
