What are the rules even…interference? Cross checking?
PoignantPoint22
Fucking YIKES. What a joke. I guess I understand missing it in real time but after it was challenged, nothing? Holy fuck refs are a joke.

Bennett can keep doing whatever he wants lol

“If a defending player has been pushed, shoved or fouled by an attacking player so as to cause the defending player to come into contact with his own goalkeeper, such contact shall be deemed contact initiated by the attacking player for purposes of this rule”
Fuck the rules I guess.

Toronto said, « they saw and acknowledged the shove, but didn’t think it was enough to affect the goalie » -per the TNT crew
Total bullshit 😂

Unbelievable

Boston got ROBBED with that call… a no call on an obvious goalie interference AND getting called for a penalty in the process?
“Not enough contact to warrant a call” is absolute bullshit.
I don’t care about either team but even I got mad at that nonsense… that said, go Panthers because fuck Marchand and Boston.
And while we’re at it, ESPN commentators are Atrocious… local broadcast team radio + muted TV ftw.

Even the reviews in TO agreed with this call. The NHL continues to grow increasingly questionable.

I get the referees have a tough job and the game is getting faster, but I feel like something like this should be an easy call from an official just watching the monitor.

Clearly the officiating is impacting the game and appears to be tilted toward Fl. The Bs aren’t helping with the terrible play since game 4 of the Toronto series.

Not even a Bruins fan but this was pure dogshit

Lightning had 2 goals taken off the board in G5, but these refs are gonna let that one slide?

Very strange officiating.

Inept officiating, it’s right in front of him. This is horrible. The NHL needs to answer for how bad the officiating has been!

Panthers fan here. Should be no goal

Are these the same refs from the FL TB series?

I have no idea how they allowed that goal. Insane

The push was in the goalie, it doesn’t have to be violent to cause the goalie interference. But the call is on par with playoffs hockey.

This is why I’m done with the nhl, unless the rules change and players can fight refs without restrictions for making calls like this

I can’t take this league seriously anymore. « Game management » and goons like Trouba & Rempe are turning this into pro wrestling on ice.

Such an awful call. I started rooting for the Bruins after that just so justice could be served.

Refs all over have been dogshit during these playoffs.

We’ve reached an all time low in officiating this post season.

Any other team and Bennett isnt even playing right now

I gave up trying to figure out what the League thinks goalie interference is long ago, yet still sit before you all dumbfounded that this was not goalie interference.

Swayman needs to do a sell job and highlight that he couldn’t make it over. Bobrovsky was very smart in selling the contact against Tampa in game 5. Unfortunately, it’s a part of sports. Wish refs and reviews were smarter to see around it and just review the play itself.
Predsguy
Absolutely brutal call. It’s nice to see everyone agrees this was goalie interference. How on earth did the NHL allow this? Some people in Toronto need to get fired yesterday for this screw up.
CosmicShuckle
I honestly can’t believe that wasn’t called back
tbiblaine23
I didn’t watch the game did Boston challenge?

Personally, I despise the Bruins, but I legitimately feel bad for them after the two worst calls in these playoffs (so far) in games 3 and 4. Not that they should’ve won either games based on everything else, but to have what should’ve been a penalty against the Panthers twice result in goals against instead is just brutal.
I honestly don’t get what goalie interference is. I’ve watched Toronto overturn a goal for brushing a goalie stick, but with no noticeable impediment beyond that, but here, it’s determined that it wasn’t enough contact to prevent Swayman from playing his position… with Coyle on top of him? Sure, it’s likely Bennett still scores, but that doesn’t matter unless it was heading in before the contact, and that’s not applicable here. I just want consistency. The letter of the rule would have negated this goal, so I’m just at a loss. It’s bad that this happens at all, but for it to happen in a playoff game is just brutal for Boston and brutal for the game.

Fucking joke. Paros must have been with them in the review room in Toronto.

Absolutely wild officiating. Embarrassing.
Unbelievable
There’s no goaltender interface in ba sing se
I’d love to see the logic on this decision.
Always has been refs vs bruins
