That hit the edge of the post.
Not that they try, or that Anderson was trying in that case, but how good are NHL goalies at judging the posts? When a shot hits the post, for example, what percentage would be goals if they were 1/2 inch to 1 inch closer? What percentage would have been saved?

That one seemed as if it were two inches to the right, Anderson has it.

Olczyk was asking about that Toronto 3 goals in 23 seconds in the '79 playoffs.  No ENs, as they were all in the first period and made it 3-0 Toronto.  First two goals were by Sittler at 4:04 and 4:16 and the third by Ron Ellis at 4:27 (who?  I thought I knew every hockey player in the 70s).  That third goal was assisted by Joel Quenneville.  I'm sure he doesn't remember it.

I will never understand goalie interference calls and non-calls. Complete flip of the coin at this point.
