Czech got robbed, was no crease violation IMHO
I haven't seen that call enough to be sure on the rule. Are we talking just crossing through the crease at all is a violation or just on a goal call?Czech got robbed, was no crease violation IMHO
True enough. But I feel that way about the trapezoid and shootout. Sadly, we just have questionable rules in sports sometimes.Ah it's a weak call/rule or whatever. He didn't do anything to the tender. I would hate it the other way around.

The rule is black and white, you cannot have your skate in the crease whether it's on a goal or during play...The ref whistles the play dead and the face-off comes outside the blue line. It's happened multiple times on non-goal situations, unfortunately for the Czech's this happened on a goal which obviously got immediately waved off. There is no grey area at all with this rule. I've seen this rule implemented as quickly as a player skating through the crease..thats how strict this rule is. The guy didn't stop and have his skate in the crease for more than a second he just happened to skate through the blue paint and the play got whistled down (this was a few years ago)
See what happens when you get rid of Reimer.
Yeah Mike Smith really carried this team.
they wouldn't go anywhere without him
