So... he didn’t make an effort to avoid contact.
Per the above: provided the attacking player has made a reasonable effort to avoid such contact.
Goals should be disallowed only if:
goals *should* (wtf??) only be disallowed for the following reasons.
(1) an attacking player, either by his positioning or by contact, impairs the goalkeeper’s ability to move freely within his crease or defend his goal;
we agree this doesn't apply to jokinen.
(2) an attacking player initiates intentional or deliberate contact with a goalkeeper, inside or outside of his goal crease
.
Does this apply to Jokinen? I don't think it does, his back is to Brodeur, he's watching the play while skating to the front of the net.
Neither 69.1 or 69.2 applies to Jokinen. But this is
specifically written as recommendations to the refs' judgement. Which explains the lack of consistency.
What you bolded is an
addendum, an
exception, to rule 69.2 (edit: and 69.1, now that I read it closely, if the
initiation of the contact is outside the crease, and the player tried to avoid it, it's fine).
Incidental contact with a goalkeeper will be permitted, and resulting goals allowed, when such contact is initiated outside of the goal crease, provided the attacking player has made a reasonable effort to avoid such contact
It's saying you can't initiate intentional or deliberate contact with the goalie unless 1) it's outside the crease and 2) you made a "reasonable" effort to avoid contact. If so, rule 69.2 doesn't apply. But I don't think it applies to Jokinen anyway, since his contact was initiated neither intentionally or deliberately.
