I agree. Player made no effort to play the puck and was skating directing into the goalie. He did get hit last second, but if he did not he still would have shoved the goalie backwards into the net. My understanding is you cannot push the goalie into the net like that. I thought the NHL automatically reviewed all playoff goals?

Looked like a good goal to me.

After watching game 5 Bolts vs Cats how is that not GI?

Exactly, how come a guy who jumps the goalie skates first isn’t interference? If he doesn’t slide in the blue paint, the goalie freezes the puck.

Does the nashville players stick hit the puck or does he just push the goalie? Kind of looks like pushed goalie, which would be GI

I also saw Forsberg kicking the puck in the net in game 5, but what can you do.
Challenge by the coach was not the move. Even if he won, they’d still be in on the PK.

I see the nucks player initiating most of the contact there. Idk it’s a close one

I’m a Toronto Fan, but that was blatant GI

How does does the ref miss this standing right there? There was an entire body between the puck and any Nashville stick. Goalie was obviously pushed in which pushed the puck. Big mistake in an otherwise fairly well called series.

That was definitely goalie interference. The contact on the player who pushed Silovs had already pushed Silovs before he was knocked sideways by Zadorov. That puck had no forward movement towards the net until the goalie was hit.

Absolutely should be interference, but for the fact the nashville player got checked at the last second “into” it. Definitely got away with one because of it. Homer glasses aside, I’d be pissed if it was on my team.

Annddddddd this confirms I still don’t know what goalie interference is…….
Hellohi123321
Just saw the goal – cannot believe that counted

Based on lightning series, goalie just forgot to drop his stick immediately and complain to the ref… otherwise they would’ve called GI

I was very surprised that there wasn’t a challenge here.

Kind of unbelievable they didn’t challenge this.

I didn’t

Coinflip honestly. There is contact with goalie, but also canucks players pushing them into him.

I’m biased, but man, considering what kind of goals have been successfully challenged for interference these playoffs, I’m surprised this one wasn’t. I think Tocchet has too much pride.

It’s Blueger’s stick that knocks the puck in from underneath Silov as he’s trying to protect it. A werido, janky goal….but a good one.

For kicking pucks I think outside blade and in should be fine. Anytime a puck goes off inside of the skate make it no goal.
Make it an easy black and white rule. Outside of the skate and in it’s a goal. Inside of the skate and in no goal. Simple

Skating full speed into a goalie’s abdomen is definitely goaltender interference.

Bad call not challenging this

Granted I will fully admit bias but how in the world is that not goalie interference basically twice?

Blueger’s stick pushed the puck in when Zadorov absolutely destroys Preds little #14

Blueger interferes with Silovs and puts it in his own net. How is that GI against Nashville?
