Krzysztof Oliwa hit Jean-Sebastien Giguere
Krzysztof Oliwa of the Calgary Flames collides with Jean-Sebastien Giguere of the Anaheim Ducks, causing a commotion as players from both teams react. Giguere, who was out of his net, appears stunned and his mask comes off. The incident seems accidental, but Oliwa is penalized and possibly heading to the dressing room. This raises the debate about whether goalies should be allowed to play the puck behind the goal line. Giguere is being attended to by the training staff, and a major penalty is issued to Oliwa, putting the Ducks on a power play. The referees might be calling it intent to injure, though it appears Oliwa was aiming for the puck.
