Andy: That was obviously interference! No doubt about it. Marleau clearly pushed Price down and it resulted in a goal. Maybe the hit didn’t cause the goal right there, but you could see how right after Price got up, he was shaky. He was trying to get his interior pads back to the right place and tried to regain a firm hold on his stick. Carey Price was not ready for the shot that resulted in a goal, and that can be blamed on the Marleau interference.
Tyler: Like you tried to say about Ovechkin, Marleau was pushed into Price by Roman Hamrlik. Hamrlik knocked him off balance and he stumbled over price and fell. Unlike the Ovechkin clip where he made no attempt to avoid Belfour, Marleau tried to grab something and avoid toppling over Price. I can’t argue that this was not Interference, but at least Marleau did do it on purpose which is what this is really all about.
Andy: This is different; Marleau wasn’t pushed into the net. He threw himself into the net! Unlike the Belfour one which might’ve been okay because no goal was scored, there was one scored on this one! If no goal had been scored, then it wouldn’t really have mattered, but Marleau did not get pushed, and even if he did, it must’ve been a small tap and not a big cross check like McCabe’s on Ovechkin.
Tyler: Threw himself into the net! Are we talking about the same thing here? The only way you can say he “threw” himself at the net is if you were on crack (which, by the way, I am beginning to think may be the case).
