Regarding the first disallowed goal, the ruling sucks, but it wasn't surprising. Said to Mrs Root that I think it will get waived off, even though I think it shouldn't. IMO, this call, and the way the rule has gotten ridiculously sticky, is because of replays. Absolutely no way in hell that goal gets waived off live. Because it shouldn't. But if you turn a camera on it, and slow things down, you'll find some contact with the goalie.
And that's a shame.
Correct call, but still ####ty. If the puck is in the crease, somebody is going to bump the goalie. Who cares? Unless it was intentional contact or interference, let them play. Let it count.
