What is goalie interference anymore

Not that

 

[StupidityKills]

This Oilers announcer drives me nuts. I'm glad they called that a goal just because of him.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

Edmonton player pushes the forward into the goalie. That should be a good goal.

But the goaltender was literally being hugged before the puck crossed the line. If it goes by him that is not goaltender interference? The puck has to be in front of him to be GI?

What is goalie interference anymore

The NHL has been pretty consistent in allowing goals where a defenseman pushes the attacker into the goalie. Blame starfish for being a moron.

 

[Mobiandi]

I thought that NHL teams weren't gonna play Gary Glitter anymore

 

[jbobell98]

You're saying the refs should blow the whistle when the puck isn't covered?

What even is reading comprehension? Theres no way where the ref is positioned that he has an eye one the puck. As soon as the ref loses sight of the puck in the crease the ref is supposed to blow the whistle.

 

[StupidityKills]

Dont know how the ref doesnt blow the puck sooner theres no way he sees where it is

The one ref looked to be right on the side near the loose puck.

He was beyond dumb there... Why did the ref not blow the whistle?!?!?! Theres no way he had sight on it!! Mean while the ref was right there to clearly see the puck rolling in the crease...

He was balancing himself from Russell driving him into the Edmonton goalie. And besides that point, the puck was already past the goalie.

It's a weird play because I think if Koskinen actually knew the puck got through him and tried to get it he wouldn't have been able to because Bellemare didn't attempt to move, but... Koskinen was oblivious.

 

[Muffin]

He never had the puck, the puck was trickling through him. Koskinen sucks, another big contract that's going to haunt the oilers, I can't believe they gave him that contract for a good 10-20 game stretch.

He drives Oilers fans nuts too. Can't believe how much of a stink he was making about that call, he's still going on about how Koskinen had the puck, he never did.

What feed are you watching? The ref on the right side was behind the net and clearly had eyes on the puck as it was sliding between the 5-hole

I can believe it, the oafs that are still in charge and Peter Chiarelli add up to one of the worst management groups in sports history.

What would you suggest he do with a defender driving him from behind and not leaving him any space to move? Crumble to the ice?

He had his arms on Koskinen well after he was engaged with Russell.

But not across the line.

I can accept that was a goal, but I don't know what GI is because it's such a subjective thing. It's kind of like the catch rule in the NFL from last year and before. It's almost like they make it up as they go along. I was just wanted to get a clear definition of what GI was, that if the puck is already by the goaltender the goaltender can be mugged and it's not GI. That's how I saw that play.

He's a very passionate homer, he was the same for the Sharks

 

[HanSolo]

Russell didn't get off his back through the entire play, and by the time he was in Koskinen's face he had very little room to work with.

 

[HanSolo]

But not across the line.

But it was far beyond the point that Koskinen could've realistically stopped it. I could buy it if we saw Koskinen trying to turn his pads to sweep it out of the crease but he didn't. He didn't have eyes on it and as such his ability to stop the puck was not impeded.

Oh and if he tried a pad sweep out he likely would've sped the puck up into the net anyway.

Never seen someone argue for them to get it wrong.

 

[Coffey]

Who cares how many pucks go into the Oilers net. Playoffs were a dead dream many weeks ago.

 

[crazyfisherman]

I feel like it shouldn't have been a goal but koskinen literally had no idea whats going on. He thought he had it but he didnt and the contact didnt cause that. Had he made an effort to cover the lose puck, any attempt with bellemere there that goal would not counted

 

[Pia8988]

Contract the Oilers.

RIP Oilers
