Report: Goaltender interference rule discussed at All-Star meetings
Goaltender interference is a hot topic at the NHL's All-Star festivities in Tampa.
The NHL's Board of Governors discussed the issue in a Saturday morning meeting, with the conversation centered around officials overthinking the call and getting too technical with the rule, according to TSN's Darren Dreger.
Further meetings are on the docket:

In recent weeks, there's been confusion over why some goals are overturned while others stand in the midst of apparent goaltender interference.
Just prior to the All-Star break, Connor McDavid was upset with an overturned call and he later chirped the officials in response.
Clearly, it's an area of the game that needs to be clarified.
