goals disallowed for contact with the goalie

[Locke]

anyone else curious as to what constitutes incidental contact in the crease so as to prevent a goal? so far this month it just seems the refs are really inconsistent

im looking at the beagles goal in the caps game and the one in the oil game tonight and it looks like the same damn thing.

thoughts?

was listening to the panel on HNIC and apparently the gm's are meeting next week and will discuss it. im not sure if rules can be changed mid-season, but that would be nice.

lupul's goal in new york was another ridiculous example. refs should be looking if a player prevented the tender from making a save, not if his finger brushes the top of his head lol

I had McDavid over 0.5 points so ofcourse it's incidental contact, thieving bastards

OH MAN! thats the second pt he's had disallowed this week...the league doesn't like the oilers having success so they are using technology to prevent their goals haha
