San Jose and Florida goaltenders duke it out
Here along the Lake Last week I wrote about goaltenders fighting decades ago, well history repeats itself as the Panthers continue on a downward spiral away from the playoffs.
Arguably the Panther’s goaltender was doing what he thought was just after watching the Shark’s goaltender leave his crease and attack one of the Panthers skaters who had taken a cheap shot on a Sharks player low into his back giving the San Jose’s netminder justification to jump in the ensuing scrum to go after the offending Panthers player.
Four officials on the ice and one of them could have prevented this as the Florida goaltender had to skate 200 feet to join in the fracas, they seen him coming and allowed it to happen, hopefully neither goaltender was seriously injured.

I didn’t watch that game or a highlight reel but after watching the above clip, I have only one word to describe it: pandemonium.
Personally, I think the rules should stipulate that a goaltender who crosses the centre ice area is out of the game.
I agree with you that it was preventable.
