NHLrules? 32 Report post Posted April 17, 2012 Then why 3 games for Shaw? None for Weber based on no injury. If Smith starts tonight, that just shows how much BS the NHL has become End of Rant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That contact was legal BTW, the goalie left his crease. If he went for the head then Weber went for the head Im glad to see shanny getting heat for it, in fact he should be s*** canned. Most of us would have to answer a ton of questions if we f ed up like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shaw blew in at full speed, did not make even nearly enough of an effort to avoid the goalie, and then jumped before he made contact with the goalie. That's very illegal.

Shaw blew in at full speed, did not make even nearly enough of an effort to avoid the goalie, and then jumped before he made contact with the goalie. That's very illegal. 69.4 Contact Outside the Goal Crease - If an attacking player initiates any contact with a goalkeeper, other than incidental contact, while the goalkeeper is outside his goal crease, and a goal is scored, the goal will be disallowed. A goalkeeper is not “fair game” just because he is outside the goal crease. The appropriate penalty should be assessed in every case where an attacking player makes unnecessary contact with the goalkeeper. However, incidental contact will be permitted when the goalkeeper is in the act of playing the puck outside his goal crease provided the attacking player has made a reasonable effort to avoid such unnecessary contact. When a goalkeeper has played the puck outside of his crease and is then prevented from returning to his crease area due to the deliberate actions of an attacking player, such player may be penalized for goalkeeper interference. Similarly, the goalkeeper may be penalized, if by his actions outside of his crease he deliberately interferes with an attacking player who is attempting to play the puck or an opponent. The guy had no place to go, he went to play the puck and didnt deliberately attack the goalie. No penalty in my mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shaw tried to squeeze by against the boards. Smith wasnt even injured. BTW. Brendan Shanaf*** or however you spell his name, needs to lose his job. This is a travesty, the whole league is up for grabs. I hope they fold and all these aholes have to work for a living. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
