Calgary was really lucky to get that late 5-on-3. Yes, Andersen flopped, but after the Flames crash the crease, that easily could have been one Flame in the box. Instead they fortuitously get 4-on-4. Then the duck defenseman bats it out of the air to get a delay of game. --I've always hated that interpretation. I think if a player bats it out of the air out of the rink, that should not go for a penalty. The penalty should be for players who have the puck on the ice on their stick.
We can moan about the disallowed goal, but I still give Andersen credit. If his reaction is a splitsecond late, then it goes the other way.

I hate how goalies automatically get the benefit of the doubt. The way I see it, Andersen could've been called for a dive there. He's clearly been watching Kesler all year and taking pointers.
