No way MS could have prevented that hit other than making the decision to not defend the net 5 strides sooner.
I guess the league has called a hearing but i just dont see how it was humanly possible for that hit to be avoided other than the player giving up on the play.

Other angles show he actually had to move away from the net to make the hit, not towards it.
The way to not give up on the play is to try and stop the goal, not punish a guy for scoring it. Bieksa, Hrudey, Botterill, all said it was indefensible. Also Marty Biron, Matthew Barnaby, etc. The only player I've seen defend it is Avery.
