Just garbage last night. I don't think they need to call every single thing but call the blatant stuff. You load up and 2 hand cross check a guy in the back, that's freaking pretty blatant. You ram a stick in the guys skates tripping him, that's pretty blatant.

On the flip side, if the refs are going to "let them play" which I freaking hate, then do it all the way. Set a standard that unless a guy is trying to hurt someone or a guy is bleeding, don't call nothing. Watching Leon get absolutely drilled repeatedly in the back for the whole game and nothing gets called, then he goes to check someone and the puck is gone maybe half a second before and you call it interference. What the hell is that!

The worst, what ended up being the game winner. Anderson kicks the stick out of Smith's hand!! Not a tiny nudge by accident where the goalie claims he was bumped out of position, he kicked the stick out of his hand to the point he dragged him out of the net, then he fires it into the goal. The previous game, Chiasson is going to go screen Price, as he's moving into position, Price is hunched over, head sticking out and he gets contact. Goalie interference. He didn't do it on purpose but he did hit him so the goal didn't stand. I get it. Anderson KICKED the stick out of Smith's hand and dragged him out of the goal and it's not interference. HUH??

I rationalize the goalie interference calls as Chiasson entered the blue paint while Anderson did not. Both plays interfered with goalies ability to stop the the puck, but one was outside the crease.

I don’t agree with no interference, but I can rationalize it. The rest of what you said I can get behind 100%. The only way I don’t go crazy is that every team with a high end skilled forward is getting the same treatment. The officials are hot garbage.

So if the goalie goes out to play or stop the puck, you are totally cool if an opposing player chops the stick out of his hand? He wouldn't be in the crease.

Last time I checked, players aren't allowed to rip or chop the stick out of a guys hand regardless of where it is on the ice. So if you don't like calling it goalie interference then call it interference because it's illegal to take away a players equipment. That's what Anderson did. He on purpose kicked the stick out of Smith's hand and in the process dragged him out of position, hindering his ability to stop a puck.

Anderson was pursuing the puck, and it wasn't 100% clear he intentionally dragged his foot to pull the stick away from Smith.

Watching the replay, I hoped they would call that back, but I doubted they would and wasn't surprised it counted.

I think you can only be outraged about so much, and a call that's more of a 50/50 one can't be where you focus if you're going to rage about officiating (at least, if you're the team and you're trying to do it strategically) then you have to talk about the really flagrant stuff. The cross-checking was ridiculous, the consistency was brutal. I'd focus on those things and let the goalie interference part go.

If you watch the replay, you can see Anderson drag his foot then kick at the stick. It was hard enough that it jerked Smiths arm and partially drag him farther behind the goal. Then he had to reset and try to lunge back into the net to try to save it. I've seen way, way, way less get goals called back.
