Oh, the whistle definitely blew before it crossed the line. What was explained to us on the radio afterwards is the rule states if a whistle is blown in error and the puck is still moving and does not stop moving, continuing this movement is appropriate. Guy on the radio who used to play was not the rule a couple years ago but that is the rule now. He didn't really agree with the rule itself per se but said the application of the rule in this case was correct. I haven't checked the rule book to see how the rule is stated though.
As for the goalie interference, they believed the call was that the goalie was on the far left of the goal (goalie's left), and that with the rebound going where it went and the speed of the shot, the goalie had absolutely no chance to stop the shot. Also, there is some question as to whether the guy was tripped/pushed into the headfirst slide.
It was a happy evening as the Jets lost and we are now a game ahead of everybody and if we win Saturday, we win first. Do not remember a game where every one of our goals was reviewed and approved before. I do not know why they tanked the first period so badly. The second was ok. The third, especially the last 8 minutes or so..... they really turned it up and took control. There were so many shots your goalie stopped that were absolutely amazing. Dumps right into the slot, one timed hard and somehow it ends up in his glove. And it isn't like you guys didn't have some good puck luck too. Off the goalie, off the crossbar, off the goalie's back into the goal? WTF? That is just a crazy goal. The first.... where was the freaking defense. You can't let a guy get that wide open. Completely unacceptable.
Good fair pts. ( reminds me of political slant/spin )

Just joking. Bias is at work with every team media. I saw it this way ...other guy "No way this is what happened" thank The Lord this was not game 7 of a series.
Coaches media fans would still be barking.
Mind you our tv guys are so boring.
A good play by play & color guy gets excited alittle & raises his volume on offensive or defensive plays.
Our commentators have a same tone like they are on air for 10 hrs daily & tired.
You have a very exciting team. Hope they go all the way & kick out ....well better not say the team I'm thinking about. ( I'd be afraid to drive to Ontario )

There is an amazing other fact .....WHAT HAPPENED TO FA?
Two Canuck games & he is silent. Maybe he is not happy that the Canucks did not make the playoffs?
![Huh ???](http://www.fishingwithrod.com/yabbse/Smileys/default/huh.gif)
Hope he's ok? I think he is not a young guy. My guess he's in his 60s or 70s.
Chris comments sometimes but that is his style.
FA not posting is very unusual.
Calling car 54 ...Car 54 where are you
My eyes will be watching the Preds very closely. This team grows on you.
FA has forgotten about the NHL & revving up for the CFL....possibly.
The way he posts think he likes the CFL more than NHL.

maybe wrong on this.
Guess we have to hook him up to a blood pressure monitor & see what game gets his heart rate & pressure more beats/pressure.

( Rodney heart beats rapidly. & blood pressure up when fish is on...puck in net or TD not sure if he is a sports fan or not ) Food for thought.
Another Food for Thought ...what team of the 16 will hoist that Cup?
Think the Caps are hungry like lions returning to get a 2nd meal on a big fallen prey.
Leafs are primed & Preds expectation to go far into the playoffs.
Think Tampa Bay will fade....
Dallas may surprise & Vegas.
Boston gets too cranky when the pressure is on. Self destruct.
