NHL STANLEY CUP FINALS: OILERS v HURRICANESJune 10, 2006Stephen WalkomEDMONTON, ALBERTA: Game Three Q. Scott just mentioned the one that was disallowed from Ethan Moreau, the Hurricanes coming off the ice they come through all of us, we're upset about the one that was allowed at the end. What did you see on the Ryan Smyth goal? STEPHEN WALKOM: On the Ryan Smyth goal obviously we had 100 views to look at but on the Ryan Smyth goal the puck was batted out of the air by the goalie, it bounced off of the Edmonton player, and went into the net. And it may seem basic but that's exactly what happened. Q. I think the Hurricanes were upset, they felt that Smyth went into the goaltender on his own. Did you see any desire of his to hit the goalie without being provoked into it? STEPHEN WALKOM: No, actually the puck was in the air. Smyth tried to knock the puck out of the air with his stick. And at the same time, Ward tried to knock the puck out of the air, was successful in doing so, it bounced off Smyth, and unfortunately for the Hurricanes it went in the net. Q. The Ethan Moreau one, Mick McGeough lost site of the puck, obviously, do you have any problem with his positioning, what he was trying to do losing the puck there? STEPHEN WALKOM: No, on that play I think every referee when a goalie covers up the puck you are going to blow the whistle. He blew the whistle. He did what he judged to be a finished play, and then the goalie opened up his legs and obviously the puck was there and was shot into the net. So I was pleased, the guys worked real hard to get into position all night. Q. Ron MacLean had some issue with the way Mick explained it to Ethan, maybe too vocal. Did you see anything like that? STEPHEN WALKOM: No, I got no issue with that at all. I think Mick communicates well with the players. I think the players communicate well with Mick.
