Is there a ****in speed limit I'm not aware of?
Dahlin is allowed to crash the net whether there is a rebound or not.
The result of falling on Holtby was because Eller chopped his feet then pushed him into Holtby.
***** about Eller if you dont like it.
Apparently. It's one thing to hustle to an actual loose puck and another thing entirely to be barreling towards a goalie who already has the puck covered.
Beyond that, as a defenseman there are rules in place to prevent Dahlin from doing things like that at all depending on when the whistle is blown. Intent to blow may factor in here too, but the point is Dahlin is on pretty shaky territory to be doing what he's doing at all.
If you truly think that you're allowed to skate in as fast as you want and then slam on the brakes and spray the goalie you're sorely mistaken. On clearly dead plays such as this one, that type of thing can actually get you an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. Eller being at all involved is the reason Dahlin doesn't have to worry about that, but you've got your head firmly up your stinkhole if you think Dahlin did everything he could there.
