OK I watched the replay on the goal and I dont know how you think that puck was going in if it wasnt deflected. It looked like the trajectory was to go through the crease. If the puck wasnt deflected I think the puck would have hit Holtby.

It was a good deflection, is what it is. I wouldn't really blame holtby for that

Everyone expect Orpik was wide over on the shot side of the goal. There was no one to pass it to that would have given Holtby a reason to come away from the post. As I saw it he was never really at the post as tight as one would expect. Not sure why Orpik did not stay with his man when they reached the crease except that it may not have seemed a threatening situation with most players on the opposite wall. Orpik might have been able to stop the deflection, but not sure it would have mattered.

If Holts sealed the gap at the post there would have been no goal. The deflection I saw was insignificant and could have gone in without it. As I said, it could be argued, but Holts had no reason to come away from the post.
Maybe we'll have to disagree.
alta:
has anyone heard what radio station the game is on today? 106.7 has college football and the backup, 99.1, isn’t airing it either. I can’t find any information about it
