The Flyers lost 3-2 in OT to Calgary...

from Mark Narducci of the Philadelphia Inquirer,

... a pool reporter asked Stephen Walkom, the NHL director of officiating, why the play was ruled no goal due to incidental contact and was unreviewable. Here was his response in a phone interview.

“That (incidental contact/no goal) is one of the things we’ve been doing a little more this year. I would say it’s happened 20 or 30 times. . .

“(Referee) Chris (Rooney)made a call of no goal. They (on-ice officials) met, contacted someone here, probably Chris King, and he told them it’s not a reviewable play. . .incidental contact.

“We think it’s a good process – in order to get the right call. We use all the resources available to make the right decision.’’
