Worst Goaltender Interference Call in History- CGY/EDM

[GuitarGuy]

That was definitely interference. Not sure what people are missing while watching that play.

Rule 69.1

...Goals should be disallowed only if: (1) an attacking player, either by his positioning or by contact, impairs the goalkeeper’s ability to move freely within his crease or defend his goal; or (2) an attacking player initiates intentional or deliberate contact with a goalkeeper, inside or outside of his goal crease. Incidental contact with a goalkeeper will be permitted, and resulting goals allowed, when such contact is initiated outside of the goal crease, provided the attacking player has made a reasonable effort to avoid such contact. The rule will be enforced exclusively in accordance with the on-ice judgement of the Referee(s), but may be subject to a Coach’s Challenge (see Rule 78.7).

For purposes of this rule, “contact,” whether incidental or otherwise, shall mean any contact that is made between or among a goalkeeper and attacking player(s), whether by means of a stick or any part of the body.

The overriding rationale of this rule is that a goalkeeper should have the ability to move freely within his goal crease without being hindered by the actions of an attacking player. If an attacking player enters the goal crease and, by his actions, impairs the goalkeeper’s ability to defend his goal, and a goal is scored, the goal will be disallowed...

What a hilariously weird sequence. I was nearly certain that was a good goal for Edmonton and ready to turn off the TV when I realized everyone was standing around in a bit of confusion. Rittich gets the 10 minute misconduct after that goal for who knows what.

CMD definitely had many kind words to say to the refs tonight. Kassian too.

 

[aufheben]

not true. Rules should be changed if they result in this garbage anyway

I'm gonna say it's like 85-90% true.

 

[PenguinSpeed]

I don't even?

-That goal looks good to me

View attachment 94391 McDavid motioning to the ref to ask if he wanted to review his SO winner was ****ing gold.

He's never going to get a call his way again.

Here's the scenario in April:

After making a late season charge, the Oilers sit tied with the Flames for the 3rd spot in the Pacific with 98 points. Oilers have 40 ROW, Flames have 41 ROW. Oilers miss the playoffs...and win the draft lottery.

He's never going to get a call his way again.

He never gets a call his way anyway.

 

[DitchMarner]

So McDavid interfered with the goalie, but Anisimov didn't interference with Andersen prior to a Hawks' goal on Thursday?

This whole "goaltender interference" thing seems to have become very subjective - does anyone know what the rules surrounding goaltender interference are anymore?

 

[nabob]

He's never going to get a call his way again.

He doesn't anyway.

 

[GoJetsGo55]

Oh wow......that's 10000000000000000000000000000000000X worse than the one against TO

 

[Spawn]

He's never going to get a call his way again.

He had some choice words for the ref after he scored the the shootout winner. Pointing to the scoreboard and asking him to review that one too.

-LOL at the small letters in this post

 

[LTIR]

He got a penalty for it as well.."Connor McDavid (Unsportsmanlike Conduct (Abuse of Officials) - 10 min)"

 

[bambamcam4ever]

He doesn't get nearly as many this season, as he is now a "star" who has won the scoring title. Unfortunately that's the way it works in the NHL and there are players who get get even worse treatment.

Matthews and McDavid BOTH letting the refs have it for crap GI in less than a week sure looks great on the league. I love it in this case.

 

[Critical13]

Goalie interference has taken an absurd toll on the game

I wonder if Matthews got a penalty as well

 

[Territory]

Insane week for this.

2 against the Leafs and this one. All terrible.

I can't tell if this is a joke or not.

You really want to try to use the letter of the law argument on this? Seriously? After the shit the league lets slide?

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

He never gets a call his way anyway.

he went from drawing .6 penalties per game to .4 penalties per game in a season where they're supposedly cracking down on stickwork. that's a difference of like 20 penalties over the season I believe. Refs are definitely screwing him over

 

[ZJuice]

I want robot refs. Some logic system where they interpret the rules the same every time and there is no bias/vendetta/dumbassery

He got a penalty at the end of the shootout? Lol
