I really can't agree. I mean, just look at where the 4th goal comes from. Sure, Perry skates across his sightline, but if the puck changes direction it's unnoticable even in the replay, so really shouldn't matter. This is as easy as it gets in the NHL.

To make it worse, after the goal Elliott is shouting goalie interference for some reason when it clearly wasn't even close. He's just so clearly losing it.
