  1. To have a chance to win the series, we needed a lot of breaks to go our way and they didn't. Florida was clearly the better team and they deserved to win. I would like to see them win a cup.

  2. The rule is not agrievous contact John quit bullshitting the public.Your man was in the blue paint and make contact with the goalie period that's interference.

  3. Totally agree hockey is turning into a joke you can’t even pass gas without worrying about a penalty oh mommy he bumped my hand please hockey is a physical sport get politics out of hockey and let them play

  4. 69.1 Interference on the Goalkeeper – This rule is based on the premise
    that an attacking player’s position, whether inside or outside the
    crease, should not, by itself, determine whether a goal should be
    allowed or disallowed. In other words, goals scored while attacking
    players are standing in the crease may, in appropriate circumstances
    be allowed (refer to Rule 69.7 for example). Goals should be
    disallowed only if: (1) an attacking player, either by his positioning or
    by contact, impairs the goalkeeper’s ability to move freely within his
    crease or defend his goal; or (2) an attacking player initiates
    intentional or deliberate contact with a goalkeeper, inside or outside of
    his goal crease. Incidental contact with a goalkeeper will be permitted,
    and resulting goals allowed, when such contact is initiated outside of
    the goal crease, provided the attacking player has made a reasonable
    effort to avoid such contact. The rule will be enforced exclusively in
    accordance with the on-ice judgement of the Referee(s), but may be
    subject to a Coach’s Challenge (see Rule 38).

  5. And there it is. Right on schedule. Dude cried his way through an entire cup final in ‘22. Same ol’ story every year…yawn.

  6. What a freakin crybaby this clown. One thing I won't miss about this series is the constant whining from this character. Also, don't lie. It doesn't say anywhere that it has to be egregious. I got an idea coach. How about telling your players to stop doing stupid crap and you won't get called for interference. We should've netted 10 more. Apparently, 6 – 1 wasn't enough to stop this clown.
