Paul Stewart: Gettin' Your Kicks

I'd love to see your analysis, Paul, of a no-goal that's infamous for CBJ fans - a few years ago, Manny Malholtra, in a game against Dallas, had his goal disallowed for a "distinct kicking motion" when the puck made contact with his planted skate while crossing the goalmouth on one foot! Such an action would seem to have required some sort of power of levitation that, had it been regularly included in his game, might have made Manny the greatest player in history!

Seriously, I truly enjoy what you've brought to this site and never miss one of your posts. Best wishes to you and your family in the new year!

Thanks and likewise. If you PM a link to video of the Malhotra play, I will give you my take.

As hard as it is to score goals, what with giant goaltenders with over sized equipment, I'd be for allowing kicked goals, goals deflected by high sticks, hand batted (but not thrown) goals.

Plus, it would make it much easier for both the on ice and off ice officials.
