Goalie interference calls are the worst because no one seems to know what the rules are. Might as well just flip a coin and move on.

The contact looked like goaltender interference, it was challenged, and on review it was deemed interference. It was potentially a two-point call, they exercised due diligence.
It was a good challenge, right call. Blues fans were very pleased.
Exactly, it was a good call. He smacked the goalie with his stick and bumped into him and the Canucks player's skate in the crease prevented Binnington to get his own right skate back, throwing Binnington off balance just as the shot was coming in from the point. Yes, that puck hit Fowler first but the interference prevented Binnington from being able to be in proper position to block the quick swat of the puck after it hit Fowler.

I agree, way too much contact on the goalie there IMO.

Thanks for clearing that up. It did seem wrong to give the opposing forward "squatter's rights" in front of our goal.
I thought this was a clearly correct overturn - you cannot whack a goalie's chest and arm with your stick while you're in the blue paint and he's trying to make a save. this was an easy one
That was textbook interference. There is absolutely no valid explanation for the non call. I thought the garage League issues were in the past. If it weren’t for bad luck, the Blues would have no luck at all. Unreal.

I’m not sure what you guys were watching but that was clear interference. MacK stick checked Binner right before the shot came. The contact with his skate was also there but look at what he did to Binner’s stick. Can’t do that and really

If they wouldn't have stopped the game to review I would agree with it being a good goal. Once they initiated the review I believe it's interference. The league says "it didn't prevent him from playing his position". That seems to be a stretch because the stick was obviously moved so Hofer couldn't fully play his position. I know that I am looking at this through mostly Blues colored glasses but.....
A fitting end to another (bleep) sports day.
look where the puck ended up, Hofer had no chance to save it with his stick. Besides the call or no call this team cannot and mean cannot handle 6 - 5 they struggle so in hindsight if this team can actually stop 6 - 5 this call never would have happened.

That doesnt matter. They call penalties away from the play all the time that have 0 effect on anything.
Hofer was hit, his stick moved to another position because of interference. It doesn’t matter where on the net the shot hit
