Can we offer a contract to a fetus?

Holy Future Considerations, Batman.

Just looking at the standings after this game, and it's almost a lock that we will be playing either Pittsburgh or the Rangers. The first round of the playoffs for either of those teams is going to be a huge battle against us. I believe it is not crazy we can beat both those teams in 7 game series. We just need to play our very best.

I thought this was a really heart-warming picture from the game

Had to be done

Why is that not a penalty? He doesn't get anywhere near the puck and he takes the player down.

What is the rule? Was it deemed to be a genuine attempt to play the puck even though it got no where near it?

[PPPower]

I was also wondering the rule on this. If a goalie intentionally trips a player before the shot is taken in a shootout/penalty shot what happens?


It looked to me like Bryz straight up tripped him

[BernieParent]

According to the main boards, no infraction was called because the puck was already beyond where the Cap player could reach it and keep his momentum toward the net.

[StandingCow]

Yep. they explained this during the broadcast... puck was already gone.

[kicksave27]

The shootouts are evil for a goalie, as long as he doesn't shoot the guy on his way in i don't think they'd call it.

[bp spec]

I was also puzzled after the poke check, but after further review Johansson lost the puck and it was already out of reach when he fell.

[Orange Crush 89]

You know, as many times as guys come in on the goalie in the shootout and practically run them over, I have nothing against a goalie taking a guys skates out. If they're not going to penalize one, don't penalize the other. If they start calling the running of the goalies, then I have no problem with calls against goalie for tripping during a shootout.
