What do you guys think? If I had to say yes or no, I would say no. I don't like that there was contact, but Khabibulin was clearly beaten on the move. www.youtube.com/watch?v=evl59relDZsJust wondering what you guys think. Not looking for opinions about Khabby "punching" Shannon though.  |

No interference at all. Although I will say that I thought it was a fine or suspension for a goalie to punch a player directly with his blocker. Especially a shot to the back of the head. It's the NHL's lack of disciplinary inconsistency on issues like this prime example, as to why the players have no regard or respect for each other.
The worst part about it, is if Shannon would have retaliated, the benches would have cleared and both teams would have major fines and suspensions. Way to turn a great game into a pusssy league.

Excellent move and goal. Like the announcer said, very creative. Khabibulin never would've stopped it. The contact was incidental.

I agree with Andrew.
I also don't think there should be any punishment for the shot with the blocker, it wasn't hard. This is hockey boys not basketball.

Good stuff boys. The reason I posted this was to make sure I wasn't insane for thinking it wasn't interference. That's what happens when every other Hawk fan (seemingly anyway) is screaming about it.
I thought it was a good move when Bouchard burned Khabby last year, and I thought it was a good move here as well.

Memo went out last season that, during a shootout or penalty shot, a player can continue his forward progress while the puck is on his stick in an attempt to score. This goal is legal ,however, there is some grey area developing here. What would keep a player from just running a goalie down on a "STUFF IN" type shot?
It's legal according to the rules, but I wouldn't be surprised if they review this 'grey area' and a new ruling that would impede a player from 'running into the goalie' in the future.
Great move by Shannon.
