i don't see many goalies leaving their crease to get run in to.

no because if the rule is correctly applied, the guy with the puck isn't going to do it, it's guys like Holmstrom....that penalty is meant for the guys in front of the net, not the ones driving to it with the puck.....

if you don't call that, then you're inviting people to just go 80 mph at the goalie and then say "where was I supposed to go?" after they knock the goalie over.

True, but there are other times when I guy gets some help from a defenseman, crashes into the goalie and gets the gate. When in doubt, they're protecting the goalie, which isn't a bad idea.

Of course, before they made the nets breakaway a guy would never crash the net that way unless he wanted broken in half on a post.

what does that guy mean "what do they expect him to do"? he knocked the goalie over. who gives a shit if there's intent.

not sure what hte official rule is. Needless to say, something like that isn't called in regular season, let alone the stanley cup finals
