To be honest I think he tried to create more surface area for the puck to hit and direct into the net while not using a kicking motion. I think his intent was to get the puck in the net, and he accomplished that while keeping it legal.

Incoming Devils chokejob wow
Another quick goal. No way Rangers don't win this.
They called it a good goal because it takes some big balls to over turn the call on the ice in New York and consequently claim that they know that Callahan did it deliberately.
Come on, you can't actually believe this. His eyes even followed the puck.

Dat ferocity.
Also, I missed Friedman interview the guys putting 2 dollar bills on the boards. All I heard was they did it at Yankees Stadium. What's up with that? Some weird tradition in the Garden?
Of course his eyes were following the puck. He's charging at the crease to make a play. It's not like he was there by accident or something.
Either way, I've seen FAR worse and more obvious kicks not called off that complaining about that one seems downright silly.
Also, holy shit, that was way too close there.

Nothing beats fans at MSG chanting "can you hear us?" to Bruce Boudreau last year.

Fuck! I missed the goal, what happened?
It's just one detail among many that makes the "he was just trying to stop" explanation a bit silly.
And I personally don't think there's a problem with discussing goals that shouldn't have been allowed, however borderline.

Almost an own goal by Richards
That would have made for an amazing game-winning goal.
Deflected, btw. He didn't shoot it right at him.
Reminds me of: Boyle own goal vs Avalanche

ugh. How the fuck does this team keep winning?
He's gonna get paid and the Rangers don't have enough offense to win a Cup.

Seriously. Half of a glorious final is set, and now we might be stuck with one of the least interesting teams in the entire league to watch. Fuck.
By scoring more goals than the other team.
You calling Rangers in 7?

Gonna be an offseason of "Should have traded for Nash" if the Rangers don't advance.

Fuck the devils man. Fuck em' straight up the ass. Kovalchuk can suck a dick, Parise can go fuck Lou and Marty needs to fucking eat more donuts you fat fuck.
I swear, New York better win this series. How the hell does New Jersey keep winning.
Edit: I really hate that piece of shit city. Go bankrupt and die.

Sigh.
This is a tough loss. Play so so much better, still get beaten. Just too many unlucky bounces or critical defensive blunders. I don't see anything that suggests we can win this series. It's been all Devils all the way until this game, which the Devils still won despite getting thoroughly outplayed for the vast majority of the game.
The Devils' ability to finish chances is the difference in this series. They're really really sharp if you give them an inch.

It's hard for the Rangers to play the "let's collapse down low and watch Henrik play" for over 100 games in a season. That style takes its toll and they don't have enough game breakers needed to win a Cup.
Devils/Kings final would be pretty terrible, indeed. Neither team is very interesting, imo.
Your posts are a symphony of metaphors and subtlety.
New Jersey isn't a city.
this is so false it's not even funny. at least most people who say this shit are half joking a decade later.

That's a relatively new skill for them considering 25% of their regular season wins were shootouts....
And how do you win shootouts? Scoring goals.
