I’ll drive to Raleigh from here in Alberta just to see a Canes home playoff game. Unbelievable crowd.

The wrap around was an absolute thing of beauty.

So goalie interference now includes your own teammates.

[wareqo]

man idk how in any way that goal was overturned, there was no interference

[Colith]

Refs played a hard fought game but Carolina held on till the end. Oh...and the preds were there too

[josephcrowe]

I don't know who wins this game/series but north cackalaka vs Tennessee is a beautiful thing from a Canadian .
Thank you for embracing hockey

[jonathangunt]

How... Dafuk... Is that... Goalie Interference....???

[-d]

Refs were literally kissing the preds ass, thankfully the canes managed to win

[SurajSingh-lnod]

How in the hell is that interference lol.

[sirdragon]

I can't tell and I don't care.

Well said. I, as a Canes fan, have to agree. Go Carolina

Here is my analysis of the Goalie Interference that no one is asking for:

At 4:42 you can see Foegele's skate in the crease. At 4:44 the shot is released and his foot is out of the crease. I will note that his foot did not impede Saros. Saros elected to look to Slavin's direction of travel and thus leaned passed Foegele to gain sight of the puck. He made this election without any assistance or hindrance. Also at 4:44 Josi cross checks Foegele which may have assisted him leaving the crease. Foegele had been trapped in by Nashville #45. Essentially Foegele was stuck between Josi's cross check and the physical presence of #45 who was trying to clear Fast from the front of the net. The shot is enroute. The puck hits Staal's skate (pushing it back from force of shot and he recovers his balance by placing his skate back on the ice) and is NOT a kicking motion. Since Josi is attempting to clear Foegele, he impedes Saros' ability to come back to his left and the two collide. The call on the ice was a good goal.

To overturn the call on the ice, there would have to be insurmountable evidence to the contrary. At best the two player's jerseys gently caressed one another prior to Josi's crease clear attempt (aka Incidental Contact). The goalie's crease did have a skate, but did not infringe upon Saros' ability to make a reasonable attempt at a save. Josi's presence did. Is it that because Foegele was present that Josi needed to be in position and that is why they called what they called? That's a dangerous precedent if that was the case. It isn't. What we have here is a VERY loose interpretation of incidental contact. A definition that is not contained in the spirit of the rule.

The call on the ice should have been sustained and a two minute delay of game been assessed to Nashville.

Of course we have the benefit of shrugging this off and saying no big deal, but this could very easily happen again to any team. Imagine the ire if the score had not changed. The Canes are not allowed to have fun. We get your message NHL. We have seen it in three of these 5 games now and in a fine for tripping. (Where is Forseberg's fine for tripping last night? He got caught napping in the neutral zone and tried to go knee to knee with a deliberate kick out)

This was better than therapy. Go Canes!

[bareknucklesu]

I'm no hockey expert, but how was that goal disallowed? I'm scratching my head over that one.

[danshobbies]

How is that goal waved off when it was his own teammates that interfered with him?

[alexmurphy]

That goaltender interference call lmao Josi is the issue

[zdenruml]

Just how good is Necas, he's on fire🔥

[bradbengel]

Is anyone believing in my canes now? No love ever for my team but they play their damn hearts out under this coaching staff. Keep it going, guys! Let’s go Canes!!!!

[jordannovak]

Love this Canes team! What a comeback. But, the NHL has a serious referee problem.

[НикитаНиксон]

Жду в финале ураганов, их игра просто доставляет одно удовольствие ❤️

[andrewelliott]

I was there and it was a roller coaster! Nice to see people supporting us with the refs and may I say that Wes McCauley is no better than Tim Peel and Chris Lee

[bensmith]

Game was nuts!!! Got to sit pretty close to the ice
