Although I'm not really sure about this play itself, it's funny how some people think that an interference will happen only if you hit the goalie and gets him off balance.
Some people are also complaining that if it was interference, why didn't Gally get a minor? But interference does not always result in a minor, does it? Sometimes the call is just a face-off... it's up to the refs.
There was.
Some people say the Cleveland Cavaliers broke it in 2016 which is completely unfair.
If someone did it, it was the Lake Erie Monsters (now Cleveland Monsters) earlier that year.
But yeah, Laine was an asshole. He doesn't deserve the Whiteout fanbase.
That said, it's so crazy that might just work.
Maybe Torts would prefer a dude that talk back to him instead of some guy that just sits on the bench and later says "Yeah I gotta get better. Please trade me."
Or maybe not, I don't know.
Who understands him anyway?
Maybe it's in the covid protocols?
I don't know, I didn't read the full protocols, but as teams may get short on players and even a minor can take a player off the ice.
