In that case, you're probably going to the box for two minutes for interference.
These goalie interference calls are getting ridiculous

Fair enough. Would be nice if the league clarified it anyways.I see what you're getting at and I don't have an answer for it.
I think they should make the crease smaller (shorter). I mean guys are supposed to “go to the net”. Sure, you’d still have instances when guys were in the crease and making contact with the goalie, but at least then they’d *really* be in the crease rather than 6’ from the net like they are now.

Good luck with that the only thing that happened in the replay was Benson taking hits post play which should have been the only real penalty.

Benson was boxed out from leaving the crease and the defender has a right to that ice outside the crease. I doubt there was any intention to do anything like dumping Benson on top of Binnington or anything else anywhere near as dramatic as what you were describing.
Personally if it was me out there* and I saw my partner deliberately shove an attacker into our goaltender I'd be pissed at my partner regardless. You don't risk hurting our guy in net for the sake of brief silly shenanigans.
*: I can't skate and almost never play, but when I have played hockey-like games I've been on defense.

I sneezed on the bus, causing the Uber driver to catch a cold, which he passed to Saros, who then missed the puck. Goalie interference on me.

That's only interference if you and the driver had both entered the crease under your own power and had yet to leave it at the time you sneezed.
(And if you pulled that off somehow, I want video.
)
Goalies are too protected at this point.
Factor in the inconsistent interpretation case by case and the fact the NHL works so hard to negate goals while simultaneously artificially inflating scores with increased PP rates and it is rather confusing.
