Got a question on rule clarification, comments on rule enforcements or some memorable NHL stories? Kerry wants to answer your emails at cmonref@tsn.ca. Hi Kerry, I am sure you will get a ton of emails on this one. Last night, the Kings went up 2-1 on the Sharks around eight minutes remaining. My question with this goal - Is Justin Williams allowed to hit the goalie with his stick? Cant this be considered goalie interference? I am a Ducks fan waiting to see my next opponent. I really think the Sharks were cheated here. The NHL says this type of play is non-reviewable. This excuse just seems like an easy way out from a judgment call. Thanks,Jake Kevari Jake: The L.A. Kings greasy second goal should have been disallowed by referee Chris Lee as per rule 69.6 when Justin Williams used his stick to push Alex Stalock, set in a statuesque pose, that resulted in both the puck and the toe of Stalocks left skate to cross the goal line into the net. It appeared that the referee was purely focused on the puck that became partially visible under the left skate of Alex Stalock after the goalie made the initial save. If referee Lee taken had taken into account the action of Justin Williams pushing Stalock from the front of the goal crease with his hockey stick or subsequently had the opportunity to utilize video review I would hope that a different decision on the play would have been rendered. Many fans who follow me on twitter @kfraserthecall (Kings Fans perhaps?) could not comprehend that the action of Justin Williams pushing Alex Stalock with his stick became a goalie interference violation. Language contained in Rule 69 defines contact, whether incidental or otherwise, to mean any contact that is made between or among a goalkeeper and attacking player(s), whether by means of a stick or any part of the body. Some had even more difficulty accepting that Rule 69.6 applied on this play since Stalock was not knocked completely into the back of the net. Rule 69.6 reads; "In the event that a goalkeeper has been pushed into the net together with the puck by an attacking player after making a stop, the goal will be disallowed." To simplify this play, Alex Stalock made an initial save on his knees when Robin Regehr shot the puck from the top left side faceoff circle. Stalocks lower body remained stationary inside the top right side of his goal crease after the puck was gobbled up in his pads. Referee Chris Lee attacked the net straddling the goal line with the whistle in a ready position near his mouth demonstrating some intent to blow the whistle and kill the play; that is until he saw the puck peek out from under Stalocks left skate blade and pad. The refs body posture and head position indicates that he was intently focused on the puck from this moment forward. Freeze frame that visual picture in your mind for a second! If in this moment, Justin Williams dove or crashed into Alex Stalock resulting in the puck entering the net, I would think most everyone would agree that "goalie interference" had been committed and the referee should disallow the goal. The exact same illegal outcome was achieved when Justin Williams used his hockey stick to push Stalock within his goal crease and off his set-stationary position which caused both the puck and the goalies left skate to cross the goal line and enter the net as demonstrated by the overhead net-cam shot. To disallow the goal under Rule 69.6 would be purely academic at this point had the referee been focused more on the action taking place at the front of the net as opposed to the puck. Ideally, the whistle (or intent to blow the whistle) should have been exercised once Justin Williams began pushing Alex Stalock with his stick, if not before! Jake, video review can only be utilized in eight specific situations as listed in Rule 38.4. At the present time interference on the goalkeeper is not one of them. I have continually stated that referees must have the ability to review their initial decision whenever contact with the goalkeeper is in question. This should be initiated by the officials on the ice, the video goal judge or through a coachs challenge. However the review is initiated, I strongly recommend that a referee(s) makes the final call after personally reviewing the play in question on a monitor in the timekeepers box. Look for expanded use of video review in some form next season. We can only hope they get it right. Nasir Adderley Youth Jersey .

Lance Alworth Chargers Jersey ... maybe even more than that. Maybe all season I have to take a few blows.ALAMEDA, Calif. - The Oakland Raiders placed starting middle linebacker Nick Roach on season-ending injured reserve Wednesday after he was unable to recover from a concussion in the preseason.Roach originally got hurt Aug. 22 in the third exhibition game against Green Bay. He returned to practice Sept. 3 on a limited basis but only took part in individual drills and he was never able to be cleared for contact. Now he is done for the season.Its certainly a blow, no question about it, interim coach Tony Sparano said. Nick was one of our defensive leaders. Hes a guy that we rely an awful lot on. Its one of the body blows that goes on in our business.Roach was supposed to be the quarterback of the defence and his absence has played a big role in Oaklands early struggles. After playing every defensive snap in his first year in Oakland in 2013, Roach has been unable to make it on the field this year.After consulting with doctors, Sparano said the team had no indication of when Roach would be cleared to play, leading to the decision to shut him down.It was certainly going to take a little while longer and it was open ended at the end of it, Sparano said.The Raiders (0-4) have been plagued by miscommunication and alignment issues on defence without their signal caller. Oakland has the second-worst run defence in the NFL through four games with Miles Burris and Kaluka Maiava sharing the duty at middle linebacker.Roach is Oaklands second linebacker to be shut down for the season this week. Maiava was placed on injured reserve Tuesday with a hamstring injury, leaving Burris as the starting middle linebacker on Sunday against San Diego.I bounce things off Nick all the time and I still will, Burriss said.ddddddddddddHes still going to be around. Hell still be just as big a part of this team because hell be helping everybody out. Nick sees football. He has a great football mind. He sees things that a lot of people cant see on the field so that will be big.The Raiders got some positive news at the position with outside linebacker Sio Moore back at practice Wednesday after missing the past two games with an ankle injury.Moore was limited at practice but his return will provide a boost to the defence.When youre not out there fighting every day, you feel sick to your stomach, Moore said. I just wanted to be out there doing my part to help, doing everything I can.The Raiders signed Jamar Chaney on Wednesday to replace Roach on the roster. Chaney is in his fifth season in the NFL and was cut in training camp this summer by Denver. He started 23 games from 2010-12 in Philadelphia, including all 16 in 2011, and played one game last season with Atlanta.Chaney has 161 career tackles with one sack, three interceptions, 12 passes defenced and one forced fumble.The Raiders had claimed linebacker Ray-Ray Armstrong off waivers from St. Louis on Tuesday. Armstrong joined St. Louis as an undrafted free agent out of Miami in 2013 and played all 16 games as a rookie. Armstrong has played four games this season and has been almost exclusively used on special teams.NOTES: QB Derek Carr was limited at practice after hurting his left knee and ankle before the bye but is confident he will be able to play Sunday. ... RT Khalif Barnes (quadriceps) did not practice and Menelik Watson may need to start in his place Sunday.___Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
