Unless a player gets hus head driven into the glass, then they dont care.The league is so soft this year. The referees have been unbearable.

Wrong!Essentially Bishop put his stick on Scheifele's skate, and then some Dallas guy pushed Scheifele such that Bishop's stick was further pushed and Bishop couldn't get it over in time.
Fortunately for the Jets and their fans, they won the game regardless and now stand 7-3-2 on the year with a healthy line up.
I just accept that it's called inconsistently.
I called that Winnipeg would recover in the post game thread after their loss to the Leafs. Much to the dismay of Jets fans who were diving off the cliff of despair.
They will make the playoffs this year.
But this example was classic interference no goal.
You can't enter the crease/blue paint and make contact with the goalie unless you are pushed in, or the puck has entered first. Has nothing to do with the Jets or Dallas.
They've tightened up on defence. They went from 31st in GA in the first game to now a respectable 9th in GA in the NHL. They are not as exciting to watch as last season, tighter hockey will do this. But it is more sustainable for success. This even despite a mediocre coach in Maurice coaching them. I said it at the beginning of the year, Maurice teams have made the playoffs 4 times in 19 years of his coaching, he may be due to make it 5 in 20 this year. We shall see!
Laine will also bounce back. But I suspect it will be more in the last 3rd of this year is when he will start finding a rhythm again. He needs time to adjust to the teams who have adjusted to him.
Typcial sophomore slump and nothing to worry about.
What? Are you sure you quoted the right post? Look at what I posted.
I'll admit, I'm wrong. (understandably I was going by 1 angle over head)
But the fact remains that Sheifele entered the crease and he shouldn't be there, and his being there interfered with a save.
It's still interference.
Well right after the call I was right ticked off but I have to give credit where it's due - you put forth a lot of arguments that demonstrates that it was a lot closer of a call than I originally thought it was. I don't see it as the 'no brainer' that you think it is but you've made a pretty solid case that it was at least a close call.
To show my thanks I'll give you a hand with your spelling. It's "SCHEIFELE", not "Sheifele".
