To lift the puck, not put it in closer. ;0)
I think Grier was stunned when Nick blocked it. I think he thought he had a layup like Datsuk had and I think he doesn't want to admit how surprised he was. As I watched it live, I thought it had gone in because I couldn't imagine how it could have been stopped. But, Grier's right, if he had lifted it up (something you don't usually do on a wrap-around) it would have gone in.
I can't wait until Thursday night. I hope the Sens don't do their usual playoff laydown and cry act. Even a Leafs fan like me has to admit that Alfredson deserves to have his name on the Cup.

It would seem, therefore, that the three human impulses embodied in religion are fear, conceit, and hatred. The purpose of religion, one might say, is to give an air of respectibility to these passions. -- Bertrand Russell
