In my opinion I think the refs made the right call on disallowing the goal, from the video you can see that the Capitals head coach Bruce Boudreau doesn't agree with the call and his comments what the f*ck.
i was a little taken aback when they first waived it off. after seeing the video reply, however, it's clear that the goalie was hit before the puck got to him.
i can see one arguing that the canadien player in front of the capitals player caused the contact, but it doesn't look that way at all to me.
i think the ref got it right, but i can understand why, from his position, the capitals coach would be confused about the call.

I disagree with the call. The Canadian player interfered with the Cap as much as the Cap interfered with the goalie.
ReplyDeleteOf course it was very close so the fact that it went the other way isn't all that surprising.
