I don't have an issue with any of it either. Initially I did because I thought there was a call against the Flyers for it, but since there was no call I'm fine with all of it.
I think goalies that want to play outside their crease should be fair game is all and I think that play only happens because Skinner chooses to ensure contact is made, then sells it pretty hard lol.
I get what you're saying....especially in front of the crease where I think the League is leaning way too far in terms of protecting the goalie.
Behind the net though...if the goalie still has the puck he is fair game IMO. If he doesnt then he is like any other player who doesnt have the puck. Hit him and its interference.
There was a full 3 seconds after Skinner let go of the puck when Couts hit him. That IMO is enough time for it to be interference.
In any event...the penalty part on that specific play is debatable IMO.
An argument can be made both ways. Perhaps we can agree on that.
I do applaud Skinner for doing what he did though.
I think that it made a difference in the game and unlike the slash he received against Calgary there was an actual response from the team this time.
A response from the smallest player on the team no less.
