Eklund: Are Goalie Interference Plays a MAJOR problem?

I really hate Dallas but I am glad they ultimately did win. That goal was bull. Defensemen pushed the player into the goalie. The goal should have counted all day long. Refs need to get their heads out of their asses. That could have changed the outcome of the entire series with just 1 blown
Call.

I have no answer really for contacting the goalie. It seems inconsistent & confusing of what is allowed or not. Playoff hockey shouldn’t be decided by these plays. Only idea I have is D shouldn’t be able to push ops into the goalie this is where the grey area comes into play. If a player establishes & parks his butt net front the D gets 2 for interference. I don’t luv the idea tbh. Too often goalies get run & it’s a 2 but D also create goalies getting hit. Blue paint is a no fly zone & cannot be an advantage to either team. Unimpeded 2 maybe 4 for running the goalie. Pushed or forced contacting the goalie is 2 on the D. A skater has to have an escape.

Idk if off my rocker or what lol just tired of these plays getting reviewed.

Yes.

I don’t think it’s goalie interference as much as it officiating! Some of these games have been brutal. The NHL seems offended if anyone questions it. They need to get their heads out of the sand and admit there is work to do in that area!!

In terms of priority, this problem ranks just behind neckguards and how they should be mandatory because the Neanderthal players don't know the risks.

For the optimum playoff viewing experience of the Oilers-Canucks series you have to watch the Sportsnet broadcast. I saw the TNT broadcast for a bit and it was unenthusiastic, dull and boring, was hard to believe it was even playoff hockey. It's not even close. Still a tad of the woke nonsense with SN but they at least do a much better job of capturing the moment and displaying the theatre & atmosphere of the series. Go Oilers!



Argentina the strongest economy on Earth now? Imagine that. Must be nice to have your country restored to Greatness...I wouldn't know what that feels like though


Free the markets!

I know hockey is for everyone and hockey fights cancer. That’s understood


Can hockey fight Hamas?

well by all means, if you live in Canada and you find the country sucks, you can always move, instead of complaining how living here is lame, and writing about it in a thread that has absolutely nothing to do with that

it's very very special.

Zebras are the major problem Put skirts on all of these sissies Goalies equipment is way out of wack and they initiate contact with forwards and the forwards are charged with interference Give me a break I am disgusted at watching these games ruled by some stripped idiot and backed up by who or what in TRONTA Ruining the game IMO
These little ticky tacky incidents are just BS Pretty soon this game will be soccer on ice No scoring and if it occurs we have to check for Goalie interference when it hardly occurs I am done watching this crap
