Goalie interference or nah by Bennett?

[Ugene Magic]

He's there, but is he preventing Swayman from moving? Nah. Once he gets hit in the back and is on top of Swayman is when that happens.

Yes. He's stopped before the shove.

Doesn't get anymore clear than this.

 

[TD Charlie]

Yes. He's stopped before the shove.

Stopped as in he's not moving, sure. The human body is a marvelous thing though. It has this whole upper half that operates independently of the legs

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

My gif above shows he was in the crease and going there willingly.

Looks like one foot in, one foot out but he was stopping. Makes it even more murky in my opinion.

And his player is in his way. There's no getting to a puck Coyle's leg /skate is blocking a puck that is along the ice. Coyle put himself there. There's no saving a puck he can't get to from the start.

I guess there’s no way to know, since Swayman wasn’t allowed to make an attempt

1000% goalie interference

That wasn't afforded due to Coyle himself. Don't go into the crease.

According to the refs from the Lihhtning series no goal, but the refs in the Bruins series say goal. The nhl needs some consistency.

 

[Mick Riddleton]

Coyle was stopped; his left leg is out to dig into the ice, and his momentum after that is because of the push. He is very responsible in his own end and would not carelessly drift into the goalie for no no reason, as you assume here. It does not get more simple than this, he has no reason to go forward. That would be stupid, anyone who has laced up the skates knows this.

He stopped himself in the crease at the point of the puck deflecting off his pad whereas to keep Swayman's progress to a stop before any other factors come into play. His left skate/leg stopped Swayman before anything else transpires.

Don't think anyone had Dangle supporting the Bruins on their bingo card for this playoffs. . .

 

[goflyakite]

Coyle was already in his way to start, so I don't know how a nudge was going to change anything. Coyle was in the blue paint and in the way without the push. His left leg/skate.

Still irrelevant unless you believe Coyle was also going to fall into his goalie completely on his own simply because he was “in the blue paint” and “in his way to start”.

Like damn people, ignore the goal or the puck being there entirely — it’s still a goaltender interference penalty. You guys are completely missing the point.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Coyle was already there, the shove is basically at the point of the puck arriving.

There's video evidence that clearly contradicts your assessment of things.

 

[DarrenBanks56]

no goal here. same exact play

 

[goflyakite]

no goal here. same exact play

lol so perfect. The goalie had even less of a chance at stopping that than Swayman had, if people are still tryna use that argument.

He literally plays the puck at the point of Coyle stopping his skate. Did he not just play the puck?

How's it GI? People need to remember this was a bang, bang play. Where was his time coming to play that puck? Coyle essentially cut him off from playing it. No shove required.

This one was 100% shoved in hard, where Coyle lost his balance being on top of Swayman.

howd he lose his balance?

Your vid sucks man, you cannot even pause it. I found one where you can and Coyle's left leg does not even make contact with the puck or Swayman. Coyle's body goes into him, because he was stopping away from Swayman. You can actually see the skate blade digging in and showering snow from the stop, till he got shoved from behind That stopped Swaymans attempt to make a push over or anything in that regard. The more I watch it the more it looks really bad. It does not matter if he could save it or not, he was not given the chance. NHL blew this one huge.

Coyle was hit in the back. I don’t think he falls forward otherwise

 

[Ugene Magic]

A light shove. He was already there on top of him.

 

[tsujimoto74]

I think this is what the officials thought, that Bennett's contact was light enough that it wasn't really the reason the defenseman impeded Swayman. I'm not sure I buy it but I think that's their reasoning. I gave up on understanding how they would rule on goalie interference long ago.

It’s ok, so did they.

 

[DarrenBanks56]

doesnt matter. as seen in the vid posted of Maroons no goal, the defending player was already on top of ingram as well.
Its over with now, but just shows you how much of a gong show the NHL is

 

[Ugene Magic]

Your vid sucks man, you cannot even pause it. I found one where you can and Coyle's left leg does not even make contact with the puck or Swayman. Coyle's body goes into him, because he was stopping and angled away from Swayman. You can actually see the skate blade digging in and showering snow from the stop, till he got shoved from behind That stopped Swaymans attempt to make a push over or anything in that regard. The more I watch it the more it looks really bad. It does not matter if he could save it or not, he was not given the chance. NHL blew this one huge.

That's because it's a gif.

The point is the shove didn't stop him, Coyle just being there did.

Coyle was only in the way because of the shove/cross check. You can see his left skate make the turn to stop and dig in. When someone pushes you from behind, you will go forward; that is what happened.

Coyle does not make it a habit to go running into his goalie on purpose, as your theory portrays. If anything, he is one of the strongest players I have seen, shielding the puck from opposing players by taking hits to the back.
