The lack of interference has been an issue for a few years now. Here's some recent examples.
1. Puck's long gone. Not a continuation hit. Hip-check head-butt to the nether-regions for added fun.
2. Shot taken at the hash marks, hit doesn't occur until the faceoff dot. Again, not a continuation hit.
3. Offensive player never even touched the puck. Just because the puck went past a player isn't carte blanche to hit them.
4. Here I separate the puck from a player in the neutral zone and then get levelled by "incidental contact". I've said for years that I understand the need for non-penalty incidental contact in the game, but it shouldn't be a tool for blowing people up.
I was gonna create this thread today and show how often you can get away with it. Thankfully you beat me to it.
It's absolutely brutal since the last patch. Don't know if coincidence or what but it's horrendous.
