But then is the idea that goalies just aren't allowed to be touched? Would you whistle that play dead if the puck doesn't go in?

I think in order for a goal to be called off something serious enough to at least warrant a stoppage in play should have occurred. Otherwise it makes it seem like the goal was called on the basis of rulebook ephemera.

I think the line should be one of intent. If it's clear you know you're going to come into contact with the goalie but don't do anything to get out of the way, it's no goal. If you've made a point of doing more than just skating into the goalie, it's a penalty.

Spaling and Grabner were the 2nd forward group in OT. Bizarre.

 

[herman]

Grabner makes sense. Phaneuf out too long.

 

[Stronger Than All]

Kadri didn't score there.  shocking.

 

[herman]

Did you guys see Gardiner ace that 2 on 1?

 

[CarltonTheBear]

I complained about Spaling, but seeing Jay Beagle out there with the weapons that Washington has is bizarre x 100.

 

[Stronger Than All]

How long is this gonna take?  Just waiting fora Shootout Loss now.

 

[Kin]

There's no denying that 3 on 3 leads to some exciting stuff but it is to hockey what NBA Jam is to Basketball.

 

[Chev-boyar-sky]

And Kadri still can't score. Gold.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Of course Kadri's off by just that much...

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Actually credit to Holtby on that toe save, I thought Kadri just stuffed it off the post.

 

[Stronger Than All]

there's no doubt that this team is cursed.  I know were supposed to like losses but the way they lose still makes me mad every time. 

 

[herman]

That was a pretty good game!
There's a lot to be encouraged by, result notwithstanding.

 

[Al14]

Another loss to an American based team. NHL preferred, I'm sure!

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

It's not just the losses, it's the cruel and unusual nature of so many of them.

I'm off to look at Auston Matthews highlights on youtube.

 

[Sudafederov]

Would have had Kadri shoot 3rd

 

[Kin]

Another loss to an American based team. NHL preferred, I'm sure!

Jet Fuel can't melt Gary Bettman.

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

Reimer has conceded 8 goals on 125 shots over his last 4 GP (.936 SV%)

Sure one or more of them might have had an odor, but overall it's a big improvement and he's continued to make a lot of "clutch" type saves too, I'd run with him till he cools off.

EDIT: Wanted to add that, that number is almost identical to his 5on5 Sv%, which is 13th amongst goalies league wide that have played at least 5 games.

Pretty remarkable given the start he had.

 

[Sudafederov]

Joe Colborne made it 1-0 against PIT if that makes anybody feel better. It's his 3rd of the season.

We stink btw...
