GDT: G44 - MIN @ ARZ - 8PM Central

My problem with that is allows a goalie to skate to the boundary and draw interference by reaching out as far as they can to make contact with an opposing player. I feel like it just makes it a lot easier to interpret if the contact has to occur within the crease. Goalie interference is always a crapshoot though.

I think you can differentiate a "reaching" situation fairly easily. Nothing about what Kuemper looked abnormal in setting up to make a save on a point shot. To me, at least.

1. Does Foligno ever enter the crease?
2. Is the contact caused by Foligno moving towards Kuemper/the net or by Kuemper moving towards Foligno?

It really is that simple.

Yeah, but that brings in subjectivity which rules should aim to minimize. I don’t think it’s fair to skaters to extend the crease because then they’re not fully confident in where they can skate. Overall, it was a close call and I feel like there just wasn’t enough evidence to overturn it. If there wasn’t a potential penalty associated with the challenge, then they probably award the goal IMO.

Never listen to it.

Eriksson Ek, Ekman-Larsson, and Larsson should open up a law firm.

I expected a more in your face celebration but maybe the Yotes goal changed things.

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

The Coyotes announcers think this Wild team is just the best team ever. It’s refreshing

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

I wonder if we could get Dvorak out of AZ yet

 

[MK9]

Not sure why Parise thought stopping that puck heading out of the zone was a good thing...

 

[Spurgeon]

Brodin is an elite ENG defenseman.

Dumba assist alert. Brodin with his usual empty net goal

It's a weird instinct every player has.

 

[Spurgeon]

Spurgeon and Suter could have played catch that entire time with AZ playing a 1-3-1 lol.

Seattle probably licking their lips at all the options available for them

No postgame show. Weird.
