NHL wants situation room, not referees, to have final say on goalie interference
BOCA RATON, Fla. — NHL general managers came to Florida looking for clarity and consistency on goalie interference calls.
With the playoffs just around the corner, they might wind up getting both.
The league announced Tuesday that GMs want the final decision on video reviews of goalie interference to rest with the hockey operations department in Toronto instead of referees on the ice.
“We had to first define the standard of review and get more clarity on that,” Vegas Golden Knights GM George McPhee said. “We have that now, and then to have that decision made in Toronto, I think affords more consistency.”
