So my take on the no 29 assist is simple, if they are being this hard nose and adamant the Rangers player shot it into his own net, and that's why they aren't awarding assists, then in my opinion anytime a goal goes off your own team and into the net then the scoring team should be awarded no points. It should just be called an own goal no points to the scoring team.
I mean what is the difference between Toews talking a shot that ricochets off a Rangers player top shelf and a 50/50 rebound two guys fought over that just happens to touch the Rangers player last. 29 gets an assist if it deflects into the net off a rangers player, but no point for a 50/50 rebound that last touched a Rangers player. Utter BS.
