Bizarre play...
Avs lose one of their wood goalies to injury.
As he's on his back in his net writhing in pain, Zach Benson scores.
Good job refs.
However, Colorado came back to score 3 in the third and send the game to overtime.
(where they lost, final score 6-5 Sabres)
WTF? How does the war room not call and reverse that?
Benson goes into the crease where the puck is not, gets pushed by the Colorado defender and lands on the goalie.....goalie now injured and down. Benson gets up and grabs a loose puck and scores.

By the rulebook, Colorado would have to touch the puck for the officials to blow it dead - even with a goalie injured. I agree that should change; if a goalie goes down, the play is blown dead, regardless who has the puck. A skater going down gives the other team an advantage, but nothing as singular as the one guy with the pads to stop a puck in the defensive zone. I get it, that normally such injuries come from illegal contact in the crease (unless your name is Dustin Byfuglien or Brown) but this goal should not happen.

Dive for a whistle.
Careful what you wish for.

Yeah. Had the same thought.
Only safeguard to that would be something like a rule mandating the goaltender has to go off for X number of minutes a la the concussion protocol.

Well the refs sometimes whistle the play dead when an injury appears serious
... regardless of who has the puck.
We've seen this many times, it's a player safety issue.
Having that discretion, they should use it with an injured goalie IMO.
(they are vulnerable to 100+ MPH shots fired directly at them)
If it turns out the goalie was faking, the league can fine him/suspend him for diving.

Didn't Cloots used to get injured anytime an opposition defenceman got over the red line for a shoot-in?

And don't forget Kevin 'I Was Mugged' Weekes... biggest faker evah!
There are many examples of referee discretion on these, here's one...

Canadiens did not touch the puck and yet play was stopped.

Kevin Weekes was a fake goalie.
It's true.

Which coach was it that called him out on faking injuries to get out of games?

Het and while they are at it, if a goalie loses his glove they should whistle the play dead too.

I remember Cloutier stopped a Michael J. Fox clapper with his bare hand.
So... no.

Yes, or so he claimed.
I referred to the claimed mugging above.
As I recall, this is the alleged story...
He was picking up his dry-cleaning in Richmond on his way to the game.
As he went back to his car, a guy pulled a gun and said "Get in your car and follow me!"
So he followed him over the bridge to some side road in South Van.
The bad guy got out of bad car and took all his cash.
And THAT is why he was late to the game, Coach.
