Corey Perry and goaltender interference in Flames v Oilers game. WATCH THE VIDEO.

[Rubi]

Flames win 3-1?

4-1 actually.

 

[Rodgerwilco]

This is all but identical to the Rempe no-goal which led to the recent “brutal call” thread. In both cases it was a clear-cut correct call.

The fact that people are even questioning these interference calls is bizarre to me. So clear-cut

 

[WatchfulElm]

It's the right call according to the rules. The problem is they make the wrong call 50% of the time. And since it's a coin toss, I understand Oilers fans for being frustrated that it didn't go their way. Put another player there instead of Perry and it's possibly a good goal.

You’re allowed to stand in the crease tho, no?
Didn’t see any interference aside from him blocking his view. Don’t think he touched him?

the crease is the goalie's space. they get priority for positioning themselves in the crease.

 

[CanadienShark]

I think they've set the standard for interference and that's considered it. Only issue is that half the time they won't call it by their own standards.

 

[DearDiary]

the interference happened well before the shot came and Vladar was able to reset.

The issue is consistency with the rule. Perry also probably doesn't the benefit of doubt.

I was upset at the time, but I don't really care now.

The interference happened as the shot came. Perry obstructed the goalies movements in the crease to make the save.

There does not need to be contact to be interference, goalies have be allowed to come out to cut down the angle of shots in their crease, especially shots from the blue line. If the shot came from in close, this goal likely would have counted.

 

[Fatass]

Perry needs to play on the edge or he wouldn’t still be in the league.

 

[Artemi Panarin]

Clear interference plus it's Corey Perry. Easy decision for the league.

 

[GeeoffBrown]

I do feel like goalie interference and distinct kicking motion are 50/50 calls when they go to Toronto. It's not worth getting upset about these reviews.

Flames lost one of these reviews in the playoffs against the Oilers and the whole team blew up!

 

[Oilslick941611]

Physical interference or not... it doesn't matter. Perry was in the crease obstructing Vladar while he was trying to play the puck.
Watch the video. If you still disagree I just don't know what to say otherwise. The video explanation is iron clad.

I literally said I don’t care anymore about it

 

[Johnnybegood13]

I don't like the rule at all. Let the goalie fight for position. If a player wants to stand in the crease, the Dman or goalie should have the right to blast the guy. If a player decided to try to screen me in my crease, he ended up on his butt because I would step around him with my leg conveniently behind his legs. PK had nothing on me.

There's a reason that area is painted blue, it's very simple, had Perry been standing in the paint to the side and deflected it in it's no problem but if you impede the goalie from making a save within that area it's interference, period.

 

[Ianturnedbull]

Perry blew it.

No goal.

Stay out of the crease kids!

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

I think this is the most agreement I've ever seen on hfboards!

Should we all hold hands?

 

[Three On Zero]

I think they've set the standard for interference and that's considered it. Only issue is that half the time they won't call it by their own standards.

Rarely does the league make a call that’s a head scratcher, the only issue is how fans decide their personal interpretation of the rule should be.

I’m actually surprised he doesn’t get a penalty for hooking the goalie’s foot out from under him a couple of seconds before the goal. The commentators shook that off as if it was no biggie, because Vladar had time to reset again. But seriously, how is that play legal?

This is the clear cut answer. Perry even looks over to the Ref to see if he gets called after hooking him.

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

That's not even as bad of a call as Tkachuk / J. Quick a couple of seasons ago. Next.

 

[GOilers88]

We all know that when this call goes against your team the fans will be upset, and when it isn't your team it's usually the correct call.

 

[herashak]

Right call
