So you get a post-whistle penalty for getting shoved into the goalie? I don't agree with that.
c'mon. The forward knew what he was doing.
Didn't see him trying to slow down and stop and avoid contact.
I don't think he would've made contact. He slowed down just before scoring and had his skates in the right position to turn away from the goalie. That's a pretty standard backhand move..
Feels like a sympathy penalty, "well your goalie got run over and the goal stands, but here take a PP so you don't feel as bad"
Same thing as couple nights ago in Tampa Detroit game, where Hedman hooked Abby on a breakway but he lost his balance on his own and ran the goalie so he couldn't make the save. Ref initially was calling a penalty, but then when they decided it wasn't a goal as there was goalie interference, and looked the replay a couple of times, they gave Detroit a penalty shot after already announcing it was a normal penalty..
