Honestly wtf was that call? I’m not a hockey person so genuinely asking. Now, I may be misremembering, but didn’t we have a call go against early in the season where the opposing player shoved his hockey stick up our goalie’s ass and moved him around like a puppet– it was reviewed and deemed not goalie interference. So I reiterate, wtf was this call?
Show that video with the truck job on Wedgewood in the shootout and ask which is a penalty.
So we also now have ‘Reverse Goal Tender Interference!’ Wedgie is the reason we now have this rule.
Writhing in pain on your side inside the net? Ref will make sure they watch the goal line to make sure the other team has a chance to score without interference! (Don’t remember which game this was earlier in the season but Ref refused to blow the whistle while Wedgie was obviously hurt and let the opposing team keep banging away with their sticks on the puck! 😡)
Cover the puck with your glove while the opposing team still taking whacks? Ref will allow a full 15-20 seconds to elapse before they are forced to blow the whistle. (Also could be a delay of game on Wedgie for even considering covering the puck with his glove.)
And finally, if for any reason the opposing team trips on equipment that once touched Wedgie, it will be called interference.
The league will never clearly define GI, because then there would be a standard they need to maintain.
All I can say for certain is that MacKinnon’s pointing at the net after his (2nd?) goal was a comedy masterclass in NHL trolling. Bravo that man!
