What you just said has nothing to do with what people are trying to tell you. Cleary always goes to the front of the net I think you need to open them eyes and watch the game.
He doesn't get hit or whacked because the play happened so fast, and Pavel got real close with a great move. Also if the goalie whacks his legs that close he exposes his 5 hole with ease. And I think you should know if Pavel sees it he'll put it there.
