I didn't say it should be a goal. I said why the Bruins staff has a legitimate grip with it being no-goal. This goal cited a rule which should have overturned the goal the Bruins challenged when Rask's glove was hit, but for some reason the rule wasn't brought up, then. You're right, though, the contact on Rask should be even more obvious because it was direct contact with him from the opposing player, rather than what happened here.

From your description, what happened to Rask is not even close to what happened in tonight's game.

Johnson's not even in the crease and shouldn't expect to have any contact when playing the puck. Rask should expect to fight through some traffic when a shot is on goal.

I just want to say that the war room is extremely inconsistent with its goal/no-goal as there have been a number of calls I don't understand in allowing/disallowing. But although I didn't see the Rask incident, it sounds nothing like what happened tonight and you can't compare the two because it's not the same situation.

McDavid is absolutely unbelievable tonight (he is most nights, but wow). I don't think Lucic is skilled enough to play with him

It was said because the contact with Rask's glove happened outside of the crease, with Rask possibly on the line of the crease, that the contact doesn't matter. Which is the exact opposite of the rule tonight. The situations themselves aren't similar, but they use the same rule which counted for one, but not the other.

What's wrong with the Coyotes this year? I see they're still playing a pretty conservative style of play under Tippett. They've got some offensively talented players, do they need a coaching change?

I should note, they've played pretty well tonight.

Need a coaching change big time. Team is full of speed and has some really good offensive talent now, but we play the exact same old play not to lose style under Tippet.

It's really starting to turn off what few fans we have.

If the Coyotes were smart they would get a new coach but have Tippett back for games against the Oilers.

Yeah that's quite a streak they have going against the Oilers. Reminds me of a few years ago I was complaining to a coworker at work about Tippett's style of play and Dave Tippett's brother happened to be in the building and heard us and introduced himself haha.
