It was actually a good call.
Daley shoved Andy into the net.

i agree, I liked the call.

[Sport]

Daley got his stick under his skate

Is that interference if the puck is already in the crease?

Doesn't matter where the puck is.
Not necessarily a penalty but he interfered with his ability to make a save.

The rule is known as incidental contact- "(a) If an attacking player initiates any contact with a goalkeeper, incidental or otherwise, while the goalkeeper is in his goal crease, and a goal is scored, the goal will be disallowed."

what a night for a great contrast between the nhl and nba

[ChaimMoskowitz]

What an OT going on!!!

[yuneeq]

What a game.
Happy the Sens were finally put away.
Now time for the Preds to the Pens away.

[ChaimMoskowitz]

That's what two good teams look like unlike the other series. Time for this guy to put his money where his mouth is. Pens will have a nice chunk of change on them.

No money going on this trio, but, Penguins, Cavs and Cubs

2 out of 3 isn't bad!

Save your money. It took the Pens 2OT in game 7 to dismantle the 6th best team in the East, who are unspectacular both offensively and defensively aside for EK. Preds top 4 D are each better than the Pens best Dman.

Preds in 6.

Ah, but maybe, I'll be right on the middle one and you'll be at 2/3.

[ChaimMoskowitz]

Save your money.

It is win win for me. Not my money, it is WF's money!

By that logic they are going to destroy the worst team (16th ranked) in the playoffs.

The difference is the Preds played better than anyone else so far while the Sens coasted through easy opponents. And still couldn't beat a depleted pens team.

Lets see they beat a Hawks team that decided to take the playoffs off and at best an average Blues team. A Ducks team that can never could seal the deal but did have an amateur goalie for the last game. Now contrast that with the Pens who destroyed Columbus and sent the best team in hockey home.

ETA: While we can go back and forth on this all day long the ones that make their living off this will speak shortly. Smart money says Pens will be favorite.

Eh, Pens are a slight favorite.
Funny how you like to sing a different tune about all the Preds opponents after the series is over.
The Blackhawks were gonna win their 4th Stanley cup in recent years, the Blues were better and gonna embarrass the Preds, and so would the Ducks, one of the best teams over the past 10 years (don't forget they're only 1/6 teams to win a cup in past decade), and usually have the honor to lose to the eventual cup winner. If the Preds win game 1 and vegas changes the odds in their favor, we'll find out how little vegas odds means to you. And on and on.

I would agree that the Pens that entered the postseason would be downright favorites, but midway through the Caps series when they suffered injuries everything changed. They were up 3-1 but needed a game 7. Then they put up a much weaker performance vs a much weaker team. Again they need 7 games. This ain't the same team that entered the playoffs and wiped the floor with the blue jackets.

Let me some it up for you.

If You Ain't First You're Last

[ChaimMoskowitz]

You heard it here first. Pens in four!!!

If by some fluke they lose tonight then Pens in five. 

[ChaimMoskowitz]

These reviews are ruining the game.

100% agree I've been saying this since it was implemented but it's getting worse with time.
