Post Game Frustration

from Ansar Khan of Mlive,

Blashill spent most of his postgame address expressing his dismay about the recent change in the way the league is ruling these plays.

"I thought hockey ops had done an unreal job the first part of the year of making a gray rule as black and white as they could," Blashill said. "Basically, if you went in the blue on your own and you made contact with the goaltender and kept him from being able to play his position, it was going to be called back.

"Then there was a meeting at the All-Star Game and there was a feeling too many goals were getting called back, so they want to go back to this term 'egregious.' What's egregious mean? It means something different to (everyone), so now we're back to ultra-gray.

"All I know is Pominville had no reason to go into the crease. He stood literally right in front ... right on the goalie. ... So, I don't know what goalie interference is now."

About Abel to Yzerman

Welcome to Abel to Yzerman, a Red Wing blog since 1977. No other site on the internet has better-researched, fact-laden and better prepared discussions than A2Y. Re-phrase: we do little research, find facts and stats highly overrated and claim little to no preparation. There are 19 readers of A2Y. No more, no less. All of them, except maybe one, are juvenile in nature. Reminding them of that in the comment section will only encourage them to prove that.
