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:
The 4 All Star coaches and NHL GM's in Tampa are meeting with league brass this afternoon to further discuss goaltender interference.

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.
