He was pushed into the goalie, but he had already skated into the crease before he was pushed.
If he's on the other side of the crease and not interfering with the goalie, it shouldnt be interference. There needs to be a revamp on this, defensemen need to be held accountable.

Keep in mind that this is a revamp from "any attacking skate in the crease invalidates a goal". The point of the rule is that The Crease Belongs To The Goaltender, and Thou Shalt Not Encroach Upon It. That folks enter the crease anyways sometimes is the exceptional thing that some allowances are occasionally made for.

The attacker has zero right whatsoever to the crease. That's just how it is.
