Mike Babcock is one of many coaches around the NHL to speak out about the goaltender interference reviews this year in the NHL – but this time he noted some specific inconsistency.
The latest play that has Babcock upset came against the Sabres, when Johan Larsson swooped through the crease and took out one of Frederik Andersen’s legs (WATCH HERE). Apparently, when the referees explained it to Babcock, they told him that the contact happened outside of the crease and then was later given a different reason.
His takeaway from the whole situation? Get this fixed before the playoffs.
If you don’t get how frustrated he was by the goalie interference call, then you just need to watch his live reaction to when the call was made. Babcock was fired up.
His goalie was equally upset about the whole situation.
