McTavish awarded goal and given goalie interference penalty - correct call?

[WhatTheDuck]

You don't see this very often. McTavish scores, appears to get knocked into the goalie. The play is reviewed, the goal stands but McT is still given a minor for goalie interference. Columbus (of course) scored on the ensuing powerplay to tie the game.

What's your call on the play?

Bullshit penalty.

 

[Stickpucker]

When you see the replay it's clear it isn't GI.

When I saw it in real time I thought it was GI. So I get the refs making the mistake.

 

[LuGBuG]

It’s the Ducks way. Even if we do finally score the other team gets a PP to tie it up as fast as possible.

 

[StammerHammer]

Will the real goalie interference please stand up.

 

[ole ole]

Good goal and as usual another bad call by the refs.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Good goal, highly questionable penalty

 

[Hennessy]

Yikes.

 

[Chips]

Extremely bad call.

 

[GKJ]

I don’t understand how both are possible.

 

[HugeInTheShire]

Good goal obviously, I can see why the ref thought it was GI in real time, but I don’t understand how they’d review and still come to that conclusion.

Is it like a roughing call after a good goal or something? That’s the only way I can see it make sense and not having the GI cancel out the goal.

Yeah I see was pushed but in my opinion he could’ve tried harder to avoid launching himself into the goalie.

Anyway I still think it’s a bad call. No GI.

 

[Warden of the North]

This is so damn dumb. It can't be both.

Technically the play’s dead once the puck crosses the goal line… so McTavish got a goaltender interference penalty during a stoppage of play?

To me looks like no call, but if had to call it something, perhaps roughing? Perplexing. That said, since the ref had the arm up for a penalty, don’t think there’s an option for reviewing a minor penalty in the rulebook. In other words, even if the ref wanted to “take back” the call when reviewing the goal, not sure the rulebook allows it

So the puck clearly goes in first and then someone crashes into the goaltender. Okay, if he went in on his own and hit the goalie right after, such a call could theoretically make sense and be right. But Provorov's dumb ass clearly shoves him right into his tendy.

This is a case where the War Room simply has to take control of the situation and take off the penalty.

I don't give a damn if the penalty call itself technically cannot be reviewed. Rules are skirted around frequently. They seem to pick and choose when to do that.

This league really knows how to infuriate you. Idk how the Ducks coach didn't absolutely lose his shit.

The league per usual won't properly explain this or review the protocol for such a future case and we'll be left wondering when the next time something like this happens in a big spot like a playoff game.

Good goal. Bad call.

Last time he lost his shit on a call I’m pretty sure they made it a 5 on 3 call…. So prob didn’t want to put his team down 5 on 3
