No they're not fair game outside of the crease but if it's deemed incidental contact then it's a goal. A player can't deliberately hit a goalie no matter where they are but they can bump a goalie outside the crease accidentally.

Stone looks world class so far in his ability to stick to and interfere with players without getting called for a penalty

You can't shoot them either. The Luongo rule.

Preds are aggressive as hell on their PK.

I really want to see Gaudreau on the right side on the pp.

[dissentowner]

I miss the days when officials could actually drop the puck without having to redo it 70000 times a game.

[Zoller]

Flames looking pretty sloppy there

I think your wrong, the goal was initially called off due to incidental contact.

Also the crease is a suggestion not a hard rule you can't stop a goalie from making a save. I'm guessing they called this a good goal because the felt that Elliot could actually make a save.

Personally and I'm a homer, I think it should have been called off.

[JurassicTunga12]

not the greatest powerplay.

[Flash Walken]

Ryan Johansen's give a duck's metre is low tonight.

[DynamRyan]

Stinky powerplay. Just flinging #### all over the place

They called it a good goal because Eliott was out of the crease. You could hear the ref telling Gully at the bench

That is the way he plays for half the season. Oodles of talent, lazy player.

The ref literally said that in his explanation to Gulutzan. It's been called that way for at least a decade.

I'm really not a fan of Versteeg on the point. Nothing against Versteeg, but I'd rather see a defenseman doing a defenseman's job.

The North American Alexei Kovalev.

Yeah he said if the contact was in the crease, it's either ruled incidental contact or can be a penalty. But since it was out of the crease, it's fair game.

Tkachuk competes in every single zone. He hates to lose a battle anywhere on the ice. You can't teach that.

Rick Ball has a great sense of humour - love to have a beer or 2 with him
