The debate as to what Goaltender Interference is has been talked about over the course of this season. This season has seen many controversial goals (and no goals) but it seems as if no one has a true understanding as to what Goaltender Interference is. The NHLPA is doing their part to find some consistency.
As we know, coaches can challenge a goal in which they think their goalie was interfered with. However, the NHLPA has agreed to approve the recommended change to 78.7 (ii). The referees would originally look at the play on a monitor and decide right then and there. Now, the play will be sent to the Situation Room and the same people that call high-stick goals, kick-in goals and other controversial plays will decide on Goalie Interference.
