Worst Goaltender Interference Call in History- CGY/EDM

[LastOne2100]

I honestly cant figure out why people are so certain that that should be a goal. McDavid's skate dragged the goalies blocker and dragged him out of position, right where the puck ended up going. its goalie interference

Yep, I don't think this is anywhere near the worst goaltender interference review - this week.

The overhead view shows the goalie had at least a second or two for stromes shot. Pretty much mcdavid nicked the stick but didn't run into the goalie.

He was able to stand up and completely reset.

 

[dechire]

I'm 100% sure that it isn't the worst call in history, even without a video.

The goalie slid out of position because he was following McDavid cross ice. Then he had time to stand up and get across and still missed the save.

It went glove side.. after the goalie reset.

Get eyes

 

[LastOne2100]

He was able to stand up and completely reset.

Leafs had one called of earlier this season where the goalie had like 10 seconds to reset, moved around twice, and it was still goaltender interference.

Can anyone post a video. Can’t imagine it’s worst than the Matthews one

I'd like to see a video too. Matthews did make contact, but I would say that anything with less contact than his would be a good goal.

It's taking away from the game when they review and over turn stuff like this.. you can argue it's interference, but why have refs then?

 

[Matt24]

Yeah, probably a bad call, but holy hyperbole, Batman.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

If that's what passes for goalie interference these days I think I need to find a new sport. Absolutely pathetic ruling.

 

[sepHF]

honestly im not even surprised anymore, what a garbage call

 

[stl76]

McDavid initiated contact in the crease, goalie was dragged out of position, and before he had a chance to reset the puck was in the back of the net.

his blocker was dragged across as mcdavid skated by, moving him toward his blocker side, opening up space on his glove side, exactly where the puck went.

 

[MessierII]

If your calling that back in overtime your league has problems.

 

[MessierII]

his blocker was dragged across as mcdavid skated by, moving him toward his blocker side, opening up space on his glove side, exactly where the puck went.

Again he stood up and reset post contact.

its tough because he has nowhere to go. You can actually get goalies to play taht strategy. Stick your blocker out as far as possible and draw the goalie interference if they score

In OT?

 

[StupidityKills]

McDavid initiated contact in the crease, goalie was dragged out of position, and before he had a chance to reset the puck was in the back of the net.

If this is what happened then yes, should be GI. Even if he had "time to reset it would still be GI. I'll wait for a video and see for myself I guess.

Flames so bad they lose to the Oilers twice in one night.

 

[MessierII]

McDavid initiated contact in the crease, goalie was dragged out of position, and before he had a chance to reset the puck was in the back of the net.

That’s non sense considering he stood up and reset.

 

[GoCaps2004]

Again he stood up and reset post contact.

he reset in the center of the net? when he would have been in position to stop the puck on his glove hand side, had he not been dragged across the other side of the net

 

[LastOne2100]

In OT?

No but I'm not sure why the rules would change in OT.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

What you said?

 

[MessierII]

If this is what happened then yes, should be GI. Even if he had "time to reset it would still be GI. I'll wait for a video and see for myself I guess.

Goalie was touched in the crease not dragged.

It's tough for McDavid, no doubt. BUT I don't think any goalie is going to purposely let themselves be dragged out of position and hope the refs get the call right. That just seems highly unlikely to me given how inconsistent goalie interference is called these days.

Regardless, I think the refs got the call right this time. Tough break for sure tho, it could've gone either way.
