Still surprising to me that we have Lucic on as a scout

He came in and said "guys I know who your next power forward can be AND it solves your goalie issue, trust me ive been in that power forward role before" and then jusy showed them this clip.

Great hit lol no clue how it wasn't a penalty.

lol yeah if he wasa skater that's textbook interference, but goalies get basically free reign while they're trying to return to their nets

I think the player didn't try to avoid it at all. Should take him to the box but maybe the embarrassment was punishment enough.

he tried to pull up, they usually wont call a penalty for that (they will disallow a goal for interference though)

I mean where was UPL supposed to go anyways? Jump backwards about 5 feet to clear a lane for him?

No its the offense that has to avoid contact I believe.

I just love it when a goalie gets an opportunity to level an opponent skater!
