Goalie Interference

[BalotelliMassive]

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 Hawks were hosed against Vancouver too...

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
