NHL Saturday: Battle of Florida kicks off day’s action

It was a storybook ending to one heck of a comeback for the Oilers.

It’s hard to believe that we’re just past the quarter-pole in the NHL season and we haven’t had a “kicking motion” controversy yet. It’s also possible I’m the only one who finds that strange.

But upon video review, it certainly looked like Bozak made a slight kicking motion toward net as he watched the approaching pass. It was just slight enough, however, that you could make the case he was just angling his skate for an effective deflection.

Remember those boring days in high school when your teacher would use an old, dusty screen projector to show countless diagrams of a human cell on the classroom board? (Sorry for bringing those memories up.)

Now imagine those slides being projected onto an entire ice rink.
