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

[GKJ]

The penalty did not prevent the goalie from doing his job, since it happened after the goal. It should not be a penalty, Provorov made that happen.

If you're calling it after a goal is scored, it's roughing.

That's a bad call with the benefit of replays, but I totally get why the ref would make that call in real time. Let's put it this way, I think it would be worse if he didn't call it and then watching the replay we could clearly see there's no contact or very minor contact McTavish uses as an excuse to dive into the goalie.

If you're calling it after a goal is scored, it's roughing.

The problem with that is, Oliver HAS to get involved or a major. McTavish looks like he apologized or at least acknowledged he didn't mean to run into the goalie. And with it being a goalie, interference was probably the best call.

I think charging would've made some sense, but if you: include "after the play"; someone has to go sit in the locker room.

Well, that's further down the line, I'm not concerned with what everyone else has to do after it happened. I just don't see how goaltender interference can be called on a confirmed goal

If this is the refs' thought process then he needs more training.

Maybe stay in training, forever.

 

[1989]

The wording the refs used was terrible “after debate” shouldn’t have been said.

Saying that phrase, similar to "allegedly" in legal proceedings, makes no difference here. It just makes them seem less competent as a whole and protects their judgment from nothing anyways as accountability means nothing.

Not saying it's the right call, just the best call given the circumstances.

 

[The Hockey Tonk Man]

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.

This sums it up perfectly

taste like salt to me, the game doesn't follow the rules that this book says it's suppose to.

Looks to me like Mctavish is trying to run Prokofiev, but Propofol is able to defend himself at the last second. Clean play.

 

[HanSolo]

Not often you see a call like that. But I can kinda see it? the shove by Provorov is from the side and should have caused McTavish to spin out if he planted his feet and attempted to avoid contact, but instead it looks like McTavish uses the contact as an excuse to lunge backwards and fly into the goalie.

The ref did say “after debate…”

So obviously they thought the interference didn’t affect the goal scored. The goal would have been scored either way. But then also decided McTavish didn’t go a good enough job to avoid contact.

This is certainly a take.

Provorov wasn't behind him. He didn't shove him. And McTavish didn't have position to skate in front of the goalie. Unless he was going for a Bobby Orr "flying" style goal.

Watching the replay again, I see Mason lean back on his left skate (when he received the pass) like he's off balanced for a moment. But his skates don't turn left right or trying to stop. I have no idea where that kid is even thinking about going except straight ahead. Just bad decision on his part IMO

This can’t be real. You are laughing at us while you write this aren’t you? “Haha this should piss them off”. There is no way you can actually believe what you typed.

This is truly a special kind of homerism. Props to you.

It's the correct call based on Tim Peel's rulebook. See the rule "If it's early game and the ref wants to give you a penalty then it's a 2 minute minor." The rule applies to all teams, not just the Nashville Predators. Therefore, it was a correct call.
