What is Goalie Interference? Isles VS Blue Jackets

[SI90]

In an important wildcard matchup, the game is tied and the final minute and the islanders score with 10 seconds left. The ref decides to wave it off and then there was a review and they upheld the call.

Palmieris skates were never in the crease. Elvis Merzlikins initiated the contact also he had time to reset.
Horrible in a game this important at the end of the year.

What is goalie interference??

 

[NyQuil]

Yeah, that's weak.

Might as well put the video for the one that counted earlier too.

Go ahead

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Yup, interference, good call, Toronto confirmed.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

To my understanding, the review team didn't see anything to overturn the call on the ice (no goal), so they sided with the officials

Elvis ought to pay more attention to doing the puck than whatever it is he does out there. He lucked out and bought a call by initiating contact. Refs have egg on their faces, and they won't forget it.

good call , needed CBJ to win that one , nice comeback

 

[Amadeus]

That was a shit call.

I think the second was a goal, and the first was 50/50. My point was that I don’t know what goalie interference is anymore.

nobody does

 

[Cowumbus]

Go ahead

There is a better view of this one somewhere. Elvis gets hit in the face with a stick (after puck is by him), but it looked like Lee made contact to his glove even before that.

 

[BallardEra]

Ref wanted to keep his parlay alive.

 

[Kevin27nyi]

Good goal

Looks like GTI to me. Goalie had to push Palmieri out of the way to establish his position in the crease, and didn’t have time to reset before the shot on goal was taken.

 

[JianYang]

Anybody have a better angle?

Looks like GTI to me. Goalie had to push Palmieri out of the way to get to the establish his position in the crease, and didn’t have time to reset before the shot on goal was taken.

He had ample time to reset as was shown in the videos posted.

Was a weak call.

Goalie didn’t HAVE push him at all. He chose to and initiated that contact. Palmieris skates were never in the crease.

If I was a goalie I would just throw myself at the closest opposing player anytime there was a crowd or a screened shot in that case.

Except Palmieri was outside of the crease and Merzlikinis initiated the contact outside of the crease where he has no right to be.

But he was reset when the shot was taken.

Yup, interference, good call, Toronto confirmed.

They did not confirm, they went went with the call on the ice. That is not the same thing.

If the ref didn't waive it off then Toronto also wouldn't have changed that.

The substantive decision, while probably wrong, wasn't even the main problem. It was a procedural issue first and foremost. That ref had zero business emphatically waving off the goal as interference when it was not a clear call. Toronto didn't "confirm" - they failed to overrule (are you one of those people who say, "They found the defendant innocent"? ). It was a borderline call and there wasn't enough in the video for them to overrule the call on the ice. The ref should have let it go and allow the Situation Room to review and make the call. If a player steamrolls a goalie or does something else obvious or egregious, then sure, make the call on the ice. But for a ref to emphatically make a call on a play like that, when Toronto is going to review it anyway and has the luxury of time, slow motion, multiple replays, etc., is ridiculous.

That was a ref deciding to be the show, pure and simple.

 

[Seb]

As a Habs fan who wanted Columbus to win, I think it's a goal. Weak call IMO.

 

[SteelCityCannon]

I thought the first review was more interference than the second one honestly.

Point is, this is reaching what's a catch in the NFL levels. The NHL has to get their shit together with this.

 

[hossua34]

Good goal

Debate over. When someone with the benefiting team's initials in their screen name posts something like this, you know it's definitive...
