Game 5, Stanley Cup Final 2007
I don't see the point in calling the own-goal cup clinching. I am also not interested in edit warring over it, so I open the field to anyone interested to comment. Thanks!--Xnuala (talk)(Review) 00:13, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
- It's been explained that in hockey the team that scores one more goal than the opponent wins. Therefore, it doesn't matter what the final score is, 6-2, 10-2, or 20-2. The 3rd goal by Anaheim was the game- and Cup-winning goal, because Ottawa managed to score only two goals themselves. Had Ottawa scored 3 goals, the game-winning goal would've been the 4th goal scored by Anaheim.Jmj713 17:59, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
- Moreover, the NHL even tracks the game-winning stat, which you can see here, for example: http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/stats/bycategory?cat=Offense&conference=NHL&year=season_2006&sort=9
In addition, Moen has officially been credited with the GWG in the June 6th Game 5: http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/players/3239:
| Date | Opponent | Score | G | A | Pts | +/- | PIM | PPG | PPA | SHG | SHA | GW | GT | SOG | Pct | GW |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jun 6 | OTT | W 6-2 | 2 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 1.000 |

- Given that information (thank-you, by the way), I'm comfortable with it being described as game-winning. Cup-clinching is a bit POV.--Xnuala (talk)(Review) 00:56, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
- Well, Cup-clinching here is synonymous. It was that goal that won the game, and the game won the series, which won the Cup. Jmj713 14:34, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
- Synonymous yes, true yes. I don't dispute these facts in the least. However, I think it is not a neutral way of stating the fact, and therefore not appropriate in an encyclopedia article.--Xnuala (talk)(Review) 22:47, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
