What is Goalie Interference? Isles VS Blue Jackets

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

Incorrect. His butt was in the crease because Merzlikens clicked his skates

View attachment 999101

Is where first contact occurs. Palmieri is outside the crease, as is his ass

The skate contact causes Palmieri to go offbalance forcing his ass to slightly enter the crease.
I look at that photo and I see skate contact on the line, which per my understanding would be within the crease. And Palmeri's momentum was already taking him into the crease under his own power.

So Merzlkin's click Palmierie's skates, but Merzlikins is in the crease....per your picture.....explain to me how the click of skates happens if Palmierie doesn't enter the crease....

For the record:

69.3.2 - “If a goalkeeper, in the act of establishing position within his goal crease, initiates contact with an attacking player who is in the goal crease, and this results in an impairment of the goalkeeper’s ability to defend his goal, and a goal is scored, the goal will be disallowed.”

(emphasis mine)

There’s no loophole here. It has already been affirmed by opposing counsel that contact occurred inside the goal crease. Counsel would have it that the goaltender’s initiation of said contact invalidates the application of Rule 69.3. However, counsel appears not to have read the rule in its entirety, as it specifically validates the decision to disallow any goal scored under these circumstances.

Past this point, the rest of the argument crumbles as it is premised upon an incomplete reading, and therefore an inappropriate application, of rule 69.

I rest my case.
 
Here's a bonus hypothetical for folks who are having trouble grasping this - if Palmieri and Elvis were both, like, all of two inches or so further out from the net (such that Palmieri's butt is no longer over the crease) and otherwise the exact same play happened in exactly the same way, that would be an equally easy call of No Interference, Good Goal. It's yet another "hockey is a game of inches" thing. This was the GI equivalent of hitting the crossbar.
 
As a western conference fan with no skin in the game. That’s a horseshit call. The NHL is too easy on goalies.

Well unless it’s the Avs goalies and then Wedgwood can be injured writhing around on the ground and nothing will be done. Maybe I do have some skin in this game…
 
I, for one, generally do not. I would actually trust the referees who make these kinds of judgments as well, which you can feel free to not if you wish, as is your right.
If your starting goalie is unable to get set in 0.8 seconds after a tiny bump, I would suggest that he is not an NHL caliber goalie.

Which, in fairness, Elvis is not.

If he could read, he’d be very upset

By that standard, hon, I don't think there's ever been an NHL caliber goalie at any time in the history of the universe.
With respect hon, if Elvis had time to reach out and push Palmieri and even STILL almost get set for the shot, he had time to get set if not for wasting it on pushing a guy who had already exited the crease.

Palmeri didn't start to exit the crease until Elvis made his initial shove with the blocker; you're fixating on the followup with the catcher, which happened within fractions of a second. Try watching it in realtime.

Yea, you clearly have no idea how fast that is in real time....but let's try this,

Stand in front of a wall, have someone about 15 feet out with a tennis ball, if you let that ball go past you, you owe them $50 (incentive) then....have someone walk past you, slightly bump you, as the guy is throwing the ball, let me know how that ends up, k?
