Terrible call, at most a 2 minute interference penalty and it would be a weak one that that. I've seen plenty of goalie contact worse than that that hasn't been penalized. Lucic barely touched him and tried to shelter and soften the impact. Smith went down like he was hit by a sniper rifle. Looch and Sutter are right, if he really tried to hit him he'd likely be done for the series. A call based on reputation and terrible acting.
