I honestly think the contact with Anderson was incidental,but that doesn't take away from the fact that Landeskof was "on his feet" when he contacted Dobes.

I don't agree with the call. Landeskog is responsible to not go into that area on his own, and impact the ability to make a save.

He does both of those things. The second half is the Anderson part. Should Anderson not try to check a player in the crease on his own?

Silly to me.
