In some of your videos about goalie interference reviews where the goal is allowed because the attacking player was pushed into the goalie, you come to the conclusion that they should stop pushing people into their own goalies. However, this video illustrates why you would, since the refs reward that behavior by giving a pp. Imo one of the biggest issues the nhl needs to look into is stopping these exact penalties. They seem to happen almost every game at this point.
What is Miller supposed to do? Not touch him, allow him to skate freely in front of the net and get a scoring chance in perfect balance? I agree there was a push in both cases, although a much more notable one in the 1st example, but Miller did nothing a defender shouldn't do by trying to rock the attacker off balance and force him into a more unfavorable angle when approaching the net.
