I completely agree with the call. Mrazek putting his stick there (it was well outside the crease) had nothing to do with making a save, it was to prevent a pass to Ryan. The placement of the stick along the ice was not to prevent the puck from going in the net.
Are goalies allowed to stick check other players with impunity to prevent them from recieving passes? Why does Mrazek have claim to a portion of the ice outside of his crease?
