Tyler: Andy!...Andy!
Andy: What, what is it?!
Tyler: You forgot, didn’t you?
Andy: Forgot? Forgot what?
Tyler: We have to....
Andy: CHECK THE LAUNDRY!!!
Andy: Oh boy, good ol’ Eddie Belfour. I miss the Belfour days. Good thing you can still have him on your team on NHL 08 (no, they don’t sell NHL 09 in Chile...yet). Well, as much as I hate to say this, Ovechkin was kind of forced into goalie interference. To start with, McCabe cross checked Ovechkin into Belfour, and then when Ovechkin tried to get off of Belfour, McCabe wouldn’t allow him to.
It was reasonable the way Eddie reacted because he didn’t see what was happening. All he saw, or felt, was some guy jumping on to his back, and kind of jumping on him. This was interference, but not intentionally.
Tyler: I see what you’re talking about, but you are completely wrong. You seem to be only talking about what happened after the initial contact. Before that all happened, Ovechkin was skating a completely different direction, then decided to turn towards Belfour and run right into him, thus the preceding cross check done by McCabe.
Andy: No, no, and no! He was pushed into Belfour; Ovechkin is not that type of player! It’s just not Ovie style! I understand that maybe you, as a hockey player, get all excited when you’re in the crease and cause some trouble, but Alexander Ovechkin is not that type of player.
