Explaining wild review, penalty shot sequence in Senators-Hurricanes

Published

on

If you thought you’d seen everything in an NHL hockey game, think again.

In one of the most chaotic sequences you will ever see, the Ottawa Senators were able to survive to a second period of overtime against the Carolina Hurricanes in Game 2 on Monday.

With the Senators called for a delayed penalty, Hurricanes forward Mark Jankowski appeared to bury the overtime winner to give Carolina a 2-0 series lead.

But after a league-mandated review, the goal was waved off for offside.

The league determined that Hurricanes forward Jordan Staal had possession but not control of the puck when his skates went over the blue line on the initial entry to the zone, per Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman.

Rule 83.1 of the NHL rulebook states in part: “A player controlling the puck who shall cross the line ahead of the puck shall not be considered ‘off-side,’ provided he had possession and control of the puck with his stick prior to both skates completely crossing the leading edge of the blue line.”

However, the absurdity of the sequence was far from over.

Because the Hurricanes scored with the Senators on a delayed penalty, Carolina was still in line to receive the penalty after the disallowed goal.

That call was made with reference to Rule 38.7 of the NHL rulebook, which states in part: “If one or more penalties (minor or major) are assessed between the time of the missed infraction and the video review that disallows the apparent goal, the offending team(s) (and responsible Player(s)) will still be required to serve the penalty(ies) identified and assessed, and the time of the penalty(ies) will be recorded as the time at which the play should have been stopped for the missed infraction.”

But this call wasn’t just a regular penalty, as the referees determined that Jordan Martinook had a clear scoring chance taken away and awarded the Hurricanes forward a penalty shot.

Senators goalie Linus Ullmark came up big and stopped Martinook, and after all was said and done, the game headed to another 20 minutes of overtime.

Martinook would get the last laugh, however, as he made up for his penalty shot miss in the second overtime by scoring the game-winner.

Luckily for both teams, there are two days off to recover before Game 3 in Ottawa on Thursday.

Fans bash Mark Martin as he drops 2-word reaction to Daniel Dye’s big Cup Series ride after suspension

Published

on

Fans lashed back at Mark Martin after he congratulated Daniel Dye on securing a maiden NASCAR Cup Series opportunity despite the young driver’s recent suspension. Dye was indefinitely suspended by NASCAR and Kaulig Racing for making homophobic, disparaging comments during a livestream, in which he mocked IndyCar driver David Malukas last month.

Martin, one of NASCAR’s most respected former drivers, responded on X (formerly Twitter) with a simple two-word message that quickly made the rounds online. However, instead of sparking celebration, his reaction drew sharp criticism from fans who questioned both the timing and the sentiment behind it.

Reacting to Dye’ big Cup Series ride news, Martin wrote:

“Let’s go 👊🏼 @bjmcleod78 @danieldye43”

Let’s go 👊🏼 @bjmcleod78 @danieldye43

Martin’s reputation as a respected voice in the garage has taken a temporary hit, with several fans even expressing disappointment in the veteran driver.

Here are some of the fans’ reactions:

“Yikes. What a horrible take.” One fan wrote

@markmartin @danieldye43 @bjmcleod78 Yikes. What a horrible take.

“Sorry Martin but this isn’t it. Daniel hasn’t learned and grown as a person yet so why would he now?” Another fan said.

@markmartin @bjmcleod78 @danieldye43 sorry Martin but this isn’t it. Daniel hasn’t learned and grown as a person yet so why would he now?

“How do you go from championing hard working drivers who make it on talent and working on their own equipment, to cheering a spoiled rich kid riding daddies money with multiple behavioral issues, who washed out of Xfinity” a third user said.

“Mocks another driver. Gets a cup ride. Cool, Mark 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼” a fourth fan commented

“Dang I hate Mark Martin, now?” a fifth fan said.

Daniel Dye started the 2026 campaign as one of the full-time drivers for the Kaulig Racing Ram Truck program in the Truck Series but was handed a suspension for violating the NASCAR rulebook over insensitive comments. He was reinstated later in March 2026 after completing mandatory sensitivity training and subsequently stepped down from his role as Kaulig driver.

Daniel Dye is all set to make four NASCAR Cup Series appearances in 2026, with his debut coming this weekend at the Jack Link’s 500 at Talladega Superspeedway. He will driver the #78 Chevrolet for Live Fast Motorsports with a primary sponsorship from Champion Container, a company owned by his father.

The Deland, Florida native will next compete at Pocono Raceway (June 14), followed by Daytona International Speedway (August 29) and Talladega Superspeedway (October 25).

Dye returned to stock car racing following his suspension, making an appearance at the ARCA Menards Series Tide 150 at Kansas Speedway last weekend, where he secured a P2 finish.
