I agree with you, that there should be an in the crease call. But in a league where that rule was taken away should everyone still abide by it. It's like if they took away handpassing as a stopage, everyone would be batting pucks to each other. Every goalie that has played anywhere from High School to AAA on up knows that there is going to be some obstruction in front of the net. In this situation Turco (who is one of my favorite goalies) is deep in his net, a good two three inches from Homer who is doing what he gets paid to do. If he were to replay that situation, I think he would be aggresive, and come out establish his ground, and pushing his way through, or at least give Homer a lil tug to get his mind off of the shot. I was always taught to not let anyone have any ground unearned. If he's in my face and there's no defense taking him out, I will slash push and trip a player if it prevents a goal. What's better looking dirty and making a save, or letting a player obstruct your view and score plus it will happen again. Here is an example of what I wanted to see Turco do in that situation.
