The Interference Rule

Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

Ok, so I was watching NHL on the Fly Final and they mentioned that the number of the official rule which says a player can't interfere with a goalie making a save (I'm not exactly sure what the number was)....

I obviously didn't agree with the call on Holmstrom....my question is this: Why wasn't Dallas' first goal disallowed as well as their player hit Osgood with his stick while the puck was still rolling around in the crease (and I believe the player was in the crease) and when the player (Eriksson?) actually put the puck in the goal he was clearly in the crease, so how is that not interference as well? I was not as angry about the goal that was disallowed when Turco slid into the net and the puck crossed the line as the first one we had taken back and the first one Dallas got. I was just wondering if anyone knew the exact rule and wanted to know how many of you'd prefer that this type of call be reviewable? (I for one would...it'd eliminate problems for everyone because no one could say they were ripped off)

Go Wings!

Also the rule seemed a little vague because what exactly constitutes interference if physical contact isn't necessary to make a call like that?
