Got a question on rule clarification, comments on rule enforcements or some memorable NHL stories? Kerry wants to answer your emails at cmonref@tsn.ca. Im sure you have thousands of emails on this already. How can that third Kings goal in Game 2 be allowed? The Kings player went in to the blue paint on his own accord, made contact with the Rangers defender and then laid on Lundqvists leg as the shot went in. If it is not a two-minute goalie interference call, it is at least a disallowed goal because of "incidental" contact with the goalie. I really dont see how they could rule any other way. Thank You,Bruce ChangoDillsburg, PA ----- Hi Kerry, Dwight Kings goal with plenty of time left in the third period last night was a huge momentum swing, eventually resulting in the Kings overtime win. However, the Rangers were unhappy about what they thought was goaltender interference on Henrik Lundqvist. Do the Rangers have any argument here? Anthony Z.Sault Ste. Marie, ON ----- Kerry, Im sure youve been asked to comment on the Kings third goal in Saturdays game and the goaltender interference controversy. But Ill ask again. What did you see and how would you have called it? J. RockwellEaston, PA Bruce, Anthony and ‘J-Rock: A violation of Rule 69 (goalkeeper interference) was committed by Dwight King when he initiated contact with Rangers goalkeeper Henrik Lundqvist inside the goal crease. As a result of this deliberate action by King, the goal should have been disallowed and a minor penalty assessed to King for goalkeeper interference. Some fans will maintain that King was pushed into Lundqvist through the actions of Rangers defenceman Ryan McDonough, which would have resulted in the scoring of a legal goal. From the quick look and decision rendered by referee Dan OHalloran, I have to believe that he also felt McDonough was guilty to some degree of pushing King into the crease. Allow me to explain why this was not the case and why I am confident that, if the referee was afforded the luxury of video review, he would have also concluded that Lundqvist was the victim of goalkeeper interference and the goal subsequently would have been disallowed. What I want to disprove is the premise that King was pushed into Lundqvist and that he did not make any reasonable effort to avoid the Ranger goalkeeper as per 69.1: “If an attacking player has been pushed, shoved, or fouled by a defending player so as to cause him to come into contact with the goalkeeper, such contact will not be deemed contact initiated by the attacking player for purposes of this rule, provided the attacking player has made a reasonable effort to avoid such contact.” We pick up the action outside the goal crease to the right of Henrik Lundqvist when Dwight King (approaching on an angle outside the crease and from behind goal line) and Ryan McDonough (front of net) engaged one another in frontal combat with their sticks in a prone cross-check position toward one another. With McDonoughs posture and position, he was set to move his opponent away from the crease and not into it. King was also moving in a direction towards the slot and not facing into the blue paint. Note also that Kings stick blade appears to be in tight on Lundqvist. In this pose, both players are willing combatants engaging in a battle for position outside of the crease. Following their initial contact, King played off McDonough to the inside and then slipped laterally into the blue paint and toward Lundqvist. King then made a movement independent (separation) of McDonough with a backward press deeper into the crease and a resulting lateral ‘skate hop that initiated solid contact with the Rangers goalie. The resulting tumble caused King to land on the right pad of Lundqvist inside the crease. This action took place as Lundqvist was attempting to remain square and set for a shot from the point that King was ultimately given credit for deflecting past the Ranger goalkeeper. Once again from 69.1: “The overriding rationale of this rule is that a goalkeeper should have the ability to move freely within his goal crease without being hindered by the actions of an attacking player. If an attacking player enters the goal crease and, by his actions, impairs the goalkeepers ability to defend his goal, and a goal is scored, the goal will be disallowed.” So why was this play, as I described it, missed by the referee you might ask? First of all, contact such as this can happen very quickly in real-time and, especially, while other action is taking place. Different angles can also be deceiving. In this situation, Justin Williams carried the puck behind the Rangers goal and deep into the corner directly toward referee OHalloran. The referee was forced to pivot out from the corner and then back to allow Williams space to carry the puck wide and up the wall. Based on the referees body posture, he visually followed Williams carry the puck up the wall and then deliver a cross-ice outlet pass to Matt Greene at the right point position. While this action was taking place, the contact between King and McDonough had been initiated. This, along with Kings independent move into the blue paint, would have been undetected by the referee. With a pending shot from the point and a refocus by the referee toward the front of the net, it would likely have appeared from the refs vantage that McDonough deposited King in the goal crease as a result of the fall. It would have been a “bang-bang” play in the eye and mind of the referee under these circumstances. Lundqvist claimed that the referee told him the puck had already entered the net prior to any contact by King. Plays of this nature and magnitude must be reviewable as I have contended for at least the past couple of seasons! Review will be a crucial safety-check for the referees to correctly determine and enforce goalkeeper interference. The Competition Committee apparently met today. The eventual outcome of some games might just rest in their hands pending final approval of the rules committee. Jose Alvarado Jersey . He looked very comfortable Wednesday night.

These teams will see plenty of each other in the next few weeks as three of the Canucks next nine games are against the Wild (after today they meet February 9th in Minnesota and again February 16th at Rogers Arena).FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - There werent too many bright spots for the New England Patriots defence during a 27-point blowout to Kansas City.The fact that it occurred in a Monday night game is one small positive.Kansas Citys 41-14 dismantling of the Patriots in front of a national audience left New England with a short week to prepare for its next opponent and mere hours to forget one of the more embarrassing losses in franchise history before shifting attention to the undefeated Cincinnati Bengals.It was a terrible loss for us, but at the same time, it was a short week, we had to move on, Pro Bowl cornerback Darrelle Revis said. Its not like it was Sunday and then we had an extra day to look at the film and had a whole day to really think about it. We had to move on fast to Cincinnati.So the Chiefs, officially, are in New Englands rearview mirror. Running back Jamaal Charles three touchdowns are a thing of the past. Quarterback Alex Smith missing on just six passes while dissecting New Englands secondary for 248 yards and three scores is a distant memory.The Bengals (3-0), one of only two undefeated teams in the NFL, are foremost in the minds of the Patriots.But their poor performance against Kansas City isnt entirely a lost cause. New Englands defence knows precisely what went wrong, and is looking to build off those mistakes.When you cant pinpoint what happened, you cant make any corrections from that, Pro Bowl nose tackle Vince Wilfork said. For the most part, we see a lot of things that we do that we have no business doing; that we can fix. Its fixable. We need to fix it to get better.Thats what good football teams do, they fix things and move forward. Thats where were at; were fixing them and were moving forward, and hopefully we fix them before Sunday.The likely return of suspended cornerback Brandon Browner will surely help, if only to contain the Bengals big receiversThe Patriots (2-2) signed the hard-hitting Pro Bowler during the off-season despite knowing he would miss the firstt four games of the season due to violating the leagues substance abuse policy.ddddddddddddWere excited to have him back. Its been too long, Revis said. He brings a lot of physicality to our defence and were looking forward to that, for him to be aggressive.Browner probably will have to shake off some rust after missing the first four weeks of practice, but his height alone should be enough to counter that of Cincinnati wide receivers A.J. Green, who stands 6-foot-4, and the 6-2 Mohamed Sanu.At 6-4, 221 pounds, Browner looks more like a receiver or linebacker than a member of the secondary.I dont care who guys have at receiver, having Brandon out there will be nice, safety Devin McCourty said. Hes a bigger guy, a physical guy who lets his presence be known as soon as he steps on the field.Itll be a big plus having him out there. Hes a veteran football player whos been in tough situations, so hell be ready to go when hes out there.New England will need all the help it can get to slow down Green, who has been quarterback Andy Daltons top weapon and deep threat since the two entered the league together in 2011.Despite being hampered by an early season toe injury, Green has hauled in 12 catches for 233 yards and a touchdown, and he is coming off the best season of his four-year career.The three-time Pro Bowler had 98 receptions for 1,426 yards and 11 touchdowns last season, and is a threat to score nearly every time he touches the ball.A.J. Green is one of the best receivers in the league, Revis said. Ive got a lot of respect for him.New Englands defence had garnered plenty of early season respect, too, although that perception may have swayed slightly following the debacle against the Chiefs.That was a long time ago to Revis, though.It was an embarrassment, yes it was, but at the same time, youve got to put it in the past, he said. Weve got 12 more games left. If we can focus on those 12 more games, we can do what we need to do in those 12 games. Its a 12-game season. ' ' '
