Martin Brodeur complained about goalie interference on the goal
The NHL Situation Room updates us with this… The NHL’s goalie interference rule sets a mandate to protect the goalie in the blue ice – to let the goalie do his job. In the white ice, it is a more delicate matter, including who moved into whom. The referee has one split-second look at it and it is a judgment call. The Situation Room has no video review capacity in this instance. That said, the Situation Room officials agreed with the call on the ice, that it looked like the goalie, Martin Brodeur, moved out toward the skater.
added 11:56pm, Reaction from Brodeur is below…
from Tom Gulitti of Fire & Ice,
Devils goaltender Martin Brodeur believed he was interfered with by Carolina’s Jussi Jokiken prior to Jokinen scoring with just 0.2 seconds left in regulation to give the Hurricanes a 4-3 victory in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals tonight at RBC Center.
“Not on the shot itself, but before that,” said Brodeur, who threw his stick in disgust after arguing with referee Eric Furlatt about it after the game. “Just for him to get position on me. It’s always the debate on what the rules are being called out there. But it is what it is.”
What was the official’s explanation?
“That I had time to reset myself,” Brodeur said. “That’s always the same answer. It doesn’t matter which referee it is. That’s the easy way out to say.”
