Kinda looks like Allen initiated contact from one angle, but don’t expect it to count

 

[Bounces R Way]

Allen jiggled the puck into his blocker intentionally. Backs batted his blocker right after.

I would have been interested to see the ruling if Backs had got there a moment sooner when the puck was just resting on his arm. Incidental contact is allowed when playing a loose puck in the crease. It would depend on the definition of possession.

 

[DFF]

Thank you for supporting the tank

 

[Corpus X]

He didn't have clear possession of the puck.

Quick someone call a Catholic Priest! They no everything about possession!

 

[Mobiandi]

That would have counted if he specfically knocked the puck out with his hand or stick rather than forcing it out with a check

that’s not incidental contact

 

[Anglesmith]

that’s not incidental contact

It's all about context. If he knocks the puck and hits the arm in the process, then the contact is considered incidental. If he hits the arm in order to knock the puck loose (which is what happened) then it is not.

I am saying hypothetically if Backlund could have gotten there a bit sooner. Then he could have directly played the puck.

Yeah definitely. Just appeared on the one angle that when Allen shook his shoulder to get the puck to drop that he put his blocker/arm in a position that would make contact with Backlund anyways, but it’s a moot point anyways because Backlund definitely punched/poked at the puck

Nordstrom assist!

 

[herashak]

Were bad but not as bad as the habs

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Nordstrom assist!

The puck must have deflected off his face before the goal

 

[DFF]

Time to sit back

 

[Bounces R Way]

Depth has been good this game. Maybe Tkachuk could show some of that 'great in tight playoff type games' hockey we keep hearing about.

That's like searching for bigfoot.

Dube should be a centre. His skating through the middle is a treat

That’s okey let’s develop him into a 3rd line winger instead!
