Thanks for this one! I commented on the original post, I think an interference call should have been called before this even happened. Jarnkrok definitely did all he could here to stop.
When varlomov played in colorado I could almost swear that the defense was trying to hurt their own goalie by doing that all the time. It's a wonder goalies can have a long nhl career when their own players knock the opponents into them
With the puck in control by the leafs pushing the player into the goalie makes sense to stop the play, as for the leafs getting a penalty it’s a 50/50 chance, good play by the defender.
