Are Goalie Interference Plays a MAJOR problem?

Another playoff night, another goal/no goal controversy swirling around a goalie interference ruling. In last night's Dallas vs. Colorado game, the Stars had a potential series-winning goal disallowed after a review for goalie interference.

Dallas ultimately won the game and series anyway. Even so, this seemed to be a missed call where the defenseman caused the "incidental contact". By my count, there have been as least three separate controversies over whether goalie interference should be ruled and whether a would-be goal should be allowed or disallowed.

The playoffs are only half over. I don't think anyone would be surprised if there are several more related controversies before a team lifts the Stanley Cup.

Do YOU see this as a major problem, a minor issue, or a non-issue? Weigh in on the message board. On a related note, what should the NHL do in moving forward beyond this season? Vote below.
