Yeah maybe, but also shouldn't he just be trying to keep it out of the net no matter what? If that hit Perron on the ass and went in, it would have counted, and that wouldn't be a shot.

I don't want to see that either, but I don't think we ever really would. Nobody is going to kick when they can shoot. And I'm not saying they should be allowed to kick it in, but if it hits someone else on the way in, it's their puck now. Know what I mean? Like Miller was the last one to have "possession", and he knocked it in. If he never touched it, different story. But he did. Fine line, obviously, but I'm nothing if not a fan of fine lines. And they have all those cameras to show us what's what.
Bla bla bla, I'm bla-bla-bla-ing now, but if that was the Flames, I'd be pissed. That seemed like a legit goal to me. A hockey play where the puck ended up in the net.
