from Mark Spector of Sportsnet,
Cam Talbot is a goalie. He should know what goaltender interference is, right?
“No effin’ idea.”
Connor McDavid is about as controversial as a cup of coffee, no? So how come he left Thursday’s game with an Abuse of Officials penalty next to his name?
“I did what I did. I hope they’re not too upset with me,” he said afterwards.
Yes, it was quite a tilt Thursday in Edmonton, with a disallowed goal in overtime, a 4-3 Oilers shootout win over the Calgary Flames, and a rare burst of personality from McDavid after his shootout game-winner.
After assisting on Ryan Strome’s overtime winner that was called back because one of the National Hockey League’s cheesy goalie interference calls, McDavid scored on David Rittich in the shootout. As he skated to the Oilers bench he made the same motion with his hand that the referee makes when a play is destined for review
You could read McDavid’s lips as he pointed at the arena roof. “Go upstairs!”
Below, watch the reversed goal call in OT....
