Appropriate this goes to the shootout.

I'm kind of disappointed we couldn't get to fifty shots, though.

That will do it


Good game Leaf fans

Good comeback Pens.

I can't complain too much I guess about getting a point out of that disaster. But I can complain about that disaster.

How fitting Geno scores the winning goal in the shootout. Great night for him tonight, great night for Zatkoff, great night for Tang. The team would just not go away tonight, really admire the resilience,

 

[Darkstone42]

That second save by Zatkoff was sick.

Leafs post game show complaining about the refs in the 3rd. "Must be nice being Malkin."

 

[Gooch1034]

Yes this could easily be a 6-5 type game.

What do I win? A cookie?

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Zatkoff has really impressed as of late, the Doobster was hard on him at first but he's bounced back nicely in the past 3 games.

Nah...you must have been thinking it was an 80's throwback game so you get this instead:

Speaking of the 1980s,

Zatk-on, Zatk-off,

LOL...and no shots in OT that was planned knowing Zatkoff will be rusty for the shootout...

Not the intention, just a side-effect.

Seriously though, I've watched this team get outshot 4 or 5 to 1 so many many times with a lead in the 3rd that if it's not part of their plan they're just doing a hell of a job making it look that way.

From the NHL rulebook:

69.1 Interference on the Goalkeeper - This rule is based on the premise that an attacking player’s position, whether inside or outside the crease, should not, by itself, determine whether a goal should be allowed or disallowed. In other words, goals scored while attacking players are standing in the crease may, in appropriate circumstances be allowed. Goals should be disallowed only if: (1) an attacking player, either by his positioning or by contact, impairs the goalkeeper’s ability to move freely within his crease or defend his goal; or (2) an attacking player initiates intentional or deliberate contact with a goalkeeper, inside or outside of his goal crease. Incidental contact with a goalkeeper will be permitted, and resulting goals allowed, when such contact is initiated outside of the goal crease, provided the attacking player has made a reasonable effort to avoid such contact. The rule will be enforced exclusively in accordance with the on-ice judgment of the Referee(s), and not by means of video replay or review.

For purposes of this rule, “contact,” whether incidental or otherwise, shall mean any contact that is made between or among a goalkeeper and attacking player(s), whether by means of a stick or any part of the body.
