NHL officiating is always under the gun, but this year it seems like they are being criticized even more for missed calls. Last night's Toronto Maple Leaf game versus the Winnipeg Jets was no different. During the game, Tyler Bertuzzi was able to knock in a rebound for his first goal in a handful of games, however, it was reversed due to goaltender interference by William Nylander.
It looks pretty clear that Nylander was pushed not once, but twice by DeMelo, causing the interference with Hellebuyck. However, after a coach's challenge, it was determined that the call on the ice for goaltender interference would stand.
What's interesting here is that Rhudey was a former goaltender, so even in his bias toward goalies in the NHL, he believed that this was the wrong call.
