Are they talking to the same people each time?

It's the dumb process. The initial NHL review was purely to see if the puck crosses the line before the net comes off, they can't review for goalie interference according to the rules.

Once it's confirmed the puck crosses the line first, it's up to Trotz to challenge for interference.

Dumb system that still doesn't do what it's supposed to often.

I think the first review was just to see if the puck went in before the net came off. After it was called a goal Washington could then challenge interference. It looks really bad however that first of all the refs didn't call the obvious interference and second it was reviewed twice with two different results.

It's confusing though because of the Flames disallowed goal against the Ducks where they did call it goalie interference during the review so there was no point in the Flames challenging.

Did Crosby come back?

Exactly, I'm fuming because they automatically called ours interference when it was actually very questionable. This was blatant interference!

Man I've gotta get NHLGC if for no other reason than to have decent PBP. Between geriatric Bob Cole, excited schoolboy Dave Randorf, and the grating "SCURRS!" of Paul Romanuk, I've had about all the Sportsnet I can sanely handle.

that's why our goal was so controversial because no interference call was made until they looked at it to see it went in the net before it was knocked off. then the ref just said it was goalie interference

No and he probably won't.

Yeah the call on the ice was simply no goal so they reviewed to see if the puck crossed the line. After the review their explanation was that the puck did cross the line but the call on the ice was goaltender interference and no goal. The problem is that if you look at the replay over and over neither official ever motioned that it was goaltender interference prior to going to replay. It's like they were make my things up on the fly.

Huge save by Fleury

Crosby really slow to get up and is taken to the room.

Niskanen gets 5 and a game.

He should be suspended

Crosby will have a concussion I would bet.

After two periods the shots are 23-19 in favour of the Capitals. Great penalty killing by the Capitals as well.

I doubt it, CBC showed the replay. OV clipped him, hit him in the head with the stick and then Niskenin finished him off with a crosscheck targeting the head. Full on Rollerball with intent to injure.

Shattenkirk is terrible

[direwolf]

Game over. Holtby and the Caps are playing too well tonight for the Pens to come back in this one.

[FireGilbert]

Nice goal.

I agree with the Sportsnet panel when they said it wasn't intentional, but a tough play because Crosby fell.

Yes well... without Crosby, and I expect he's done for some time, everything changes.

No. He didn't intend in advance to concuss Sid (only my guess on concussed).
He didn't try very hard to not to crosscheck him in the head either.

Spoken like someone who only saw the replay in slow motion

[You Need a Thneed]

5 minutes was too much for Niskanen. 2 minutes would have been enough.
