Does Nobody Know What Goaltender Interference Is???
How is it that the goal that Oilers’ Ethan Moreau scored at the beginning of the 2nd period in tonight’s Hawks/Oilers game was able to stand? All that Pat Foley and Eddie Olczyk seemed concerned with was whether it was a good goal or not. The bigger issue was that the “goal” was as a direct result of goaltender interference by Dustin Penner on Nikolai Khabibulin in the crease. I even looked it up in the NHL rulebook which states that a goal is disallowed, “When an attacking player has interfered with a goalkeeper in his goal crease.” So what did I miss? Better yet, how did the War Room in Toronto miss that?
