Good goal?

Of coarse it's a good goal. Every puck that goes into the net is a good goal nowdays, because the goalie couldn't have stopped it anyway. This is always true because the NHL says it's true. Unless they change their mind and say something always otherwise.

You’d have to drag him to at least the blue line to interfere.

#32 made contact with the goalie, but I guess they are saying not enough to make a difference. Defining goalie interference in hockey is like defining a catch in football. You can watch 100 replays and the ref will still surprise you with the call.

On that play, the forward's blade was hooked into the strap of the leg pad, and guy was yanking on it. He seemingly was trying to get the goalie to the blue line!
