It seems like they weren't reviewing the second one for goalie interference but the kick. It wasn't kicked in so they over-ruled it. Can they then review it for goalie interference retrospectively?
Either way, the Jackets got boned there on both videos.

Goalie interference isn't reviewable. I believe the ref and Toronto knew it was bad goal. The ref just gave the wrong reason intially. Probably why the review took so long. Toronto was probably looking at it thinking "Holy ****, that Hawk player doesn't even have a hockey stick and just launches himself skate first at Bobvrosky. That's text book goalie interference and shouldn't count." But since they can't review that part of the play, their only option was to reverse the on-ice call and award the goal because it touched another players stick as it was pushed into the goal by the Hawk player's skates.
I think that part of the issue with making goaltender interference a reviewable offense, is that there are any number of calls, made and missed, that directly impact the game. So, at what point does that stop?
When it's a play that directly causes or doesn't call a goal to be scored.
This is a lame area to use the "where do we draw the line" reasoning. It's a clear line to be drawn - goal scoring plays.
There are all kinds of instances like that, where goals should or should not have counted. There was a goal in game seven of the WCF last year comes to mind, where Carter was clearly offside. But, I'm not sure that I'd argue that it should've been disallowed for that, even as a Chicago fan.
This was just waved off in Boston for goalie interference

Did Smith even touch that puck on the second one? Looks like it may have gone in off the BJ defenseman's stick...
Considering the call on the ice was no goal, idk if that's conclusive enough.
That's even worse than the Carey Price BS last playoffs when 'he wasn't being allowed to make a perfect save'
Absolutely awful. Those disallowed goals makes me wonder if the refs have money on these games. It's really that bad.

If it touched Connauton's stick even, wouldn't it be a good goal? As in, if you kick the puck to the defender, and he puts it in his own net, that's a good goal right?
