Sorry but I agree with Galley on this one. Luckily for the Flames, they finally got a PP goal.

Disagree. If that's a Flames player I'm wondering why he didn't try harder not to go shoulder first into the goaltender's head. Officials are going to call that every time. Whether he was pushed matters not as the officials are trained to make a call based on the player's efforts to avoid hitting the goaltender. You said yourself you don't think Ryan made 100% full effort to avoid Hiller which pretty well means based on what you saw the officials made the right call. Flames fans aren't overly outraged because Hiller was struggling but if that was Kipper taking that hit having to leave the game with his status uncertain Flames fans would surely be livid with Ryan for taking out our goaltender.
