Community ManagerThis is from the NHL rulebook:
"If a goalkeeper, in the act of establishing his position within his goal crease, initiates contact with an attacking player who is in the goal crease, and this results in an impairment of the goalkeeper’s ability to defend his goal, and a goal is scored, the goal will be disallowed."
To me, this means the goal in the clip being waived off is accurate.
If this was real and I was a referee, it'd be a good goal; the problem is the game is a bunch of 1's and 0's and very black and white (it's why so many interference penalties happen).

That's fair. Like @TTZ_Dipsy says, it's a black/white approach to these types of scenarios. Understandably so, but for your average user it can appear questionable.
