It's not often you see a play like this in an NHL game. During Wednesday night's AHL playoff matchup between the Chicago Wolves and Stockton Heat, Wolves' netminder Alex Lyon saw Martin Pospisil of the Heat attempting to cross the ice in front of him to get to an opponent. Lyon got to the edge of his crease and set up an NBA style pick so Pospisil really had no choice but to stop, or keep skating and hit him.
-
Pospisil ended up with a goaltender interference call on the play. Many felt Lyon should have gotten one as well for interference, or for embellishing the hit. That didn't happen. Chicago would go on to win the game 3-0 to take a 2-1 series lead in the conference finals.
