Anaheim Ducks head coach Greg Cronin lost it after a goal was called back for goaltender interference in a game against the Pittsburgh Penguins. The NHL has had a lot of inconsistency regarding this call, so we break down the play itself.

Bullshit, that's not interference
The referee explained the reason for the call when making the call. The Ducks player pushed Karlsson into Jarry, which is goaltender interference.
I mean stay out of the crease?
Easy to fix, no one allowed in the blue semi circle of goalie. I was a goalie and I can tell you this is disgusting.
This is one of those ‘on paper’ issues. On paper, it’s a good idea put in place to protect goalies and overall just discourage people being violent with goalies (Though I would like to see a goalie beating the crap out of a player one of these days). The problem is the inconsistency, goals that should be goals are disallowed because of “Goalie Interference” and goals that should be disallowed are goals and leads to a lot of resentment and bitterness. Either they need to make some hard lines, or they need to throw the whole rule away and let teams deal with the problem.
lol i love that clip of Lalonde.
WHAT THE F//K
Yeah it's goalie interference. The guy is in the crease. It impacts the goalie a lot.
The player is in the crease and literally forces the penguin player into the goalie. It's goalie interference. Nothing controversial at all.
And I don't even like the penguins!
There's something called a "crease" with a very blue demarcation, it is the goalie's realm where no player shall enter, just as when a goalie is outside his "crease", he is fair game as much as any player….I'm a goalie for over 25 years, this is the game
You come in my crease, I'll abuse the shit out of you with impunity, if I play the puck outside of it, you have every right to hit me as if I was a player, thems tha way of da game….I personally dont mind, just don't expect my teammates to take lightly to it 😁
Penguins fan and even I thought that goal should have counted
the ducks player was still in the crease so
Make the goalie slightly uncomfortable, interference. Imagine if Sean Avery who pissed of both Marty Broduer and Tim Thomas with his antics, played today lol
Both garbage calls and i don't even like the ducks
Why would you create a video without first checking the rulebook? “If a defending player has been pushed, shoved, or fouled by an attacking player so as to cause the defending player to come into contact with his own goalkeeper, such contact shall be deemed contact initiated by the attacking player for purposes of this rule, and if necessary a penalty assessed to the attacking player and if a goal is scored it would be disallowed.” Now you can ask if the rule was applied correctly.
What is the crease for? I think the best way to avoid the question is to just stay out of the crease over the years the NHL made it smaller forwards have plenty of room to catch the rebounds
Since when is it ok for an attacker to be in the crease let alone stand there and make a portion of it inaccessible to the goalie contact or not. I have to admit I haven't been able to see my beloved Red Wing games like I used to so maybe the crease is open for everyone to play in now. In the past it was off limits to everyone but the goalie!
It used to be easy to decide because players weren't allowed to go in the crease. But then they slowly eroded all that over the years and now it's a subjective shitshow and nobody knows what's going on. If the puck isn't in the crease then players shouldn't be allowed to go there. That space is off limits to allow the goaltender to move around. Is this goalie interference? Of course it is, the guy barges into the crease and pins the goaltender on the goal line so that he can't move anywhere. Goalies can't expected to stop a puck while also having to physically battle players for position. That's what the crease has been for all along.
Puck don’t lie
I think this is a cut-and-dry call complicated only by the fact that a Penguin is interfering with Jarry and not by the opposing forward directly
Cronin did not just get body position on Karlsson, he weaponized Karlsson against Jarry. Now, if the roles were reversed (flip the jerseys so Karlsson is on the ducks and Cronin is on the Pens), the play is categorically a goal. Goalie interference is bs, but when the D push forwards into their own goalie, it’s an easy call.
So why is it so controversial that the opposite would be true? You can’t use body position to force the D to interfere on your behalf — at that point it’s as though Karlsson is an extension of Cronin because Cronin is trapping Karlsson, who, if left alone, would be allowed to make contact with Jarry as much as he wanted without impacting the allowance of this play.
Goalie interference is really one of those things that can get called either way, I get it. However, this particular instance looks like "it" to me, simply because the offense is well inside the blue paint and doesn't even try to walk the edge, so to speak.
