Hats off to the Flyers. They did what it takes to win. Including checking players into the goalie knocking him out of the crease.

This is one of my peeves about playoff hockey... interference (and goaltender interference) stops getting called. The refs are decent about hooking, slashing, tripping, etc... but interference gets ignored time and again. Basic playoff hockey strategy is to run the goalie every play. It gets called so rarely that the rewards clearly outweigh the risks.

Until the rule book is enforced properly, it's hard to fault a team or player for employing an obvious strategy for scoring goals.
