I dont even..

That was way more goaltender interference than the call on the Flyers in C-Bus. There is no rhyme or reason to this rule.

No way that goal stands..

I seriously have no idea what they are going to rule anymore. that looked like the pen clearly shoved Grubauer in the net

Seriously I understand what is and isn't interference as much as what is and isn't a catch in the NFL. utterly ridiculous

It's honestly completely random. The NHL seriously needs to address the ref situation. It's been a massive problem league wide this year. Paul Stewart can argue all he wants that refs aren't perfect and make mistakes but this is getting insane.

You're absolutely right. What a (frank)ing joke these rulings are

Like Plind said, that looked way more then what happened in the Columbus game and it wasnt called..

I cant figure it out.

Even almost immediately calling the play dead when the Pens dude got hit with the puck
how many times have we seen players laying on the ice and the game still continues..

Agreed. Review doesn't work when they are still getting calls incorrect after reviewing them.

Absolutely. If you showed that to all the NHL crews you would prob have 60% rule one way, 40% the other way.

60% one way, 35% the other, and 5% would just give up and guess

I think the rule should be simplified. Did the contact with the goaltender impede him from making the save or not. They are factoring in incidental contact and other factors. A player can touch the goaltender and still not effect his ability to make a save.

Hornqvist looked like he allowed himself to slide into Grubauer then shoved him with this stick. I mean, how is that a goal? Can't wait to see the explanation from the league on that one

Flyers would have never got that allowed

Good idea and it certainly looked like it did interfere on that play.

So apparently it wasn't interference because Winnik pushed Hornqvist

Id have to see it again

Official decision is that winnik's hand on the ice tripped Hornqvist making it no interference

I dont even know what to say about that..
Just ridiculous and even more when they just showed the replay.

i think that is bullpoop. Hornqvist could have stopped himself but inched his way into Grubauer then used his stick to shove him.

Yeah it makes no sense. I could ref better and I can't skate

I think its dumb to have the officials make these rulings looking at a small tablet. either have a large monitor in the scorer's box or have toronto make the ruling.

Pens get away with an interference call on Wilson

(frank) Wilson, but still

it was Gordon vs Lyubimov and Gordon was the odd man out. he was expendable. i don't think they see anyone else on this roster they are willing to waive to call someone up. until there is an injury or trade they don't have the room to call anyone up

Based on the repeated comments made by Hextall, if they thought a player was ready and would improve the team, he would make the moves necessary. They have a number of players that they could move to make room.

Pens get away with a hit from behind as well?!
