That's a bummer. I think that could've been a sneaky close series if he were healthy. I still would've expected the Avs to win, but thought maybe they could've tenderized the Avs a bit before round 2.
...but whatever, the Blues won the Cup!!!!!

I'm no rules expert, but it seems to me like you shouldn't be able to push the goalie clear out of his crease so your teammate can tap one in.
It's 50/50 to me. I don't think he wipes the goalie out as much without the help of the d-man.
Just a Russian propaganda account

To me it's a no brainer. D is there and is harassing him, sure, but he goes into the paint and makes contact on his own. At that point it doesn't matter if D pushes you. Only matters if D is the reason you wind up in the paint making contact in the first place. That's my understanding of it anyway.
