Give Florida some credit here. They are a much better, deeper team than ours and are fighting for a playoff spot. Momentum is a funny thing and you add talent and speed to the equation you get what we saw. You take away two top 4 D makes it even harder to win.Epic collapse. Wheels came right off the wagon. Looked like October out there in the 3rd. Yikes.
McGinn pushing Kuemper into the net is apparently A OK
On this particular play, I thought the refs got it right
I agree. In the second half of the second period you saw Florida start to dominate and I knew it was only a matter of time before they scored, but I was hoping we might be able to regroup after the second, but Florida came out like a house on fire and when they scored their first goal early I knew we were in trouble.I'm not even sure if the Coyotes went into their shell, I think Florida were just that good. They completely dominated us in every single way in the third. They played like a desperate team fighting to the death for a playoff spot.
He did, but did he impede Keumper from making a save? It was a tough call to make, you win some, you loose some.I watched the replay a few times from many different angles, and to me McGinn clearly pushes Kuemper. Don't know how that's not interference.

Did the D man bump the offensive player into the goalie? Even a little bump unintentional could be enough. I think on this call, the NHL is unwilling to change the call unless the interference was pretty clear, meaning he wasn't bumped, and didn't effect the goal. The on ice call will always be harder to over turn.I think the problem with the rule is the refs trying to determine if the goalie was impeded...they don't really know. We don't want to go back to the days of "skate in the crease, automatic no goal", but seems to me a better rule would be to say that any contact with the goalie in the crease negates the goal. Simple to understand, and easier for the ref to call.
I thought it was more Schenn's fault than McGinn's pushing Kuemper down.
Absolutely.More reason to draft Dahlin.

Welp, I got C as Domi. That's it ; that's all i got.
Could use work (on being able to read my mind), but 1 out of 4 (25%) ain't bad. Was that you driving past my house the other night?L is Domi. E is Perlini. J is Rinaldo. R is Rieder.
Thank you for the additional detail, I do see what people are saying now. I had only looked at the video of the goal and the replay, but the still picture really does give a good indication.I think the best view is from the overhead. Schenn starts with his back to Mcginn, and then spins so that they are shoulder to shoulder. In the picture below you see McGinn with his stick in Kuemper's blocker and his skates are positioned to provide leverage and push. (I'm not really upset about this, just tired of the inconsistency in how it's called)
