Montreal Canadiens fans are still stunned by the second goal allowed to the New York Rangers last night.<\/p>\n

Forward Will Cuylle scored under questionable circumstances against the Canadiens.<\/p>\n

Upon closer review, there was clear interference on young goaltender Jacob Fowler.<\/p>\n

The forward\u2019s skate made direct contact with Fowler\u2019s pad:<\/p>\n

This contact completely disrupted his lateral movement and prevented him from making the save.<\/p>\n

The main issue lies in how the on-ice officials analyzed the sequence.<\/p>\n

The referees were clearly focused on the upper bodies of the players involved in the play in front of the net.<\/p>\n

However, it was very clearly Will Cuylle\u2019s lower body that was at fault on this play.<\/p>\n

Did Martin St-Louis make the right decision not to challenge?<\/p>\n

Behind the bench, the Montreal Canadiens\u2019 head coach hesitated for a long time before making a final decision.<\/p>\n

Martin St-Louis analyzed the situation with his assistants to evaluate whether a coach\u2019s challenge was warranted.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, MSL chose not to request a video review for goaltender interference.<\/p>\n

He most likely wanted to avoid risking a costly minor penalty for delaying the game.<\/p>\n

Officials will certainly need to review this sequence to adjust their judgment for important games ahead.<\/p>\n
