Game Thread: Pittsburgh Penguins(1) vs. New York Rangers(2) | Round 2

Except I watched the replay. He is facing the shooter which is straight away. He looks up Malkin crashes into him and twisted him to the left. It might have still went in either way but you have to give the goalie the chance to make the save

Lundqvist makes the first save, it pops up (when it's in the air it's free game), puck descends, as it goes behind Lundqvist Malkin's stick comes into contact with Lundqvist's glove. Did Malkin distract him? Yes. But he's allowed to do that. "Crashes into him" is a very liberal definition.

It could have been called, but it wasn't a travesty that it wasn't is my final and objective conclusion.

I would have called interference, FWIW. Not a penalty, but no-goal.

But then again, I'm a Wings fan and we've had numerous goals called off for much, much less than that.

Agree to disagree but even the in studio guys agreed that it was goalie interference. Though one is Mike Milbury.

I would call it even after the terrible offsides that leads to the Rangers first goal.

Well, then we are truly at an impasse.

Holmstrom's butt hanging over the crease x50 with NO contact to the goalie at all?

One more period. Anything can happen, and probably will.

And you have to consider the source folks, I mean WW has a birds-eye view.

I understand you wanting it, and honestly could have seen it get called, and it probably would've been an okay call. I don't think the contact prevented him from making a save though. Puck was out of sight/behind him at that point.

Hahha, for every time there was a goal waved off because of Holmstrum's large behind, there was another that probably should've been called.

Is it sacrilege that I'm drinking Long Island Ice Tea while watching this game? I know, it's not the Islanders we're playing, but still.

I beat you to it, but will give a plus 1 to you.

I just want to know how come we can't have that kind of puck luck?

We definitely need to go to another game so I can smack you next time we meet.

Because we haven't, and regression is a real thing.

Yes it should be Capt Morgan because according to that commercial they are the official white rum of the NHL.....
Who knew
