The better team certainly won the series but TB still got shafted hard tonight. Those disallowed goals are an embarrassment to the NHL, the league has to be better then this.
They got them both right IMO.
In both instances, the goaltender's movement within the crease is limited by however small of a margin. In the first one, the player's skate in the crease CLEARLY prevents Bobrovsky from making the play on the puck laying in front of him. In the second, the offensive player battling in front of the net spins to get away into Bobrovsky and knocks his stick out of his hand.
The goaltender's movement is limited (again, by whatever tiny degree it may be) by an opposing player in the crease on his own volition.
I don't want a reversion to Tim Taylor's toe in the crease on the other side of the shot being called back. But a hard line on contact within the crease is A-ok with me.
I guess I'm stressing there are opinions (such as mine) that don't reflect the majority of those who seem to be posting in this thread. The echo chambers supporting your opinion may make it feel like the league itself is an "embarrassment" because it feels like a consensus viewpoint that the league is ignoring, but it isn't.
There's a reason fans across every league in the world think their refs are the "worst" and it's because there isn't an acceptance that there is an angle beyond one's own. Sometimes referees flat out miss calls. More often though, it's the fans who are looking at it with the skewed viewpoint.
