Running into goalie goals
Why is this still a thing? I notice a lot of goals still going in when opposing player just skates into my goalie with out even shooting nor does it get waived off.

But, even then, you still get clips like this one where I ran into the goalie hard enough to knock him over, my teammate burried the rebound, and the goal stood. That shouldn't happen.
You posted a great clip of that happening.
The only thing I can think of here is that a player from the red team makes contact with the goalie immediately after the team in white gains possession and before the puck crosses the line.
I'm going to make a guess here in that the in-game logic decided the interference came from the teammate due to the player in red being the last player to make contact with the goalie before the puck crossed the line, so the no-goal sequence was omitted.
Not saying it's correct. This type of stuff needs to be looked at. Just trying to make a guess as to why it played out the way it did.
I'm wondering if maybe the game is going off who last made contact with the goalie, and so even if my player obliterates the goalie, interference doesn't get called because his own teammate technically makes contact last.

Now, this one there wasn't contact from a teammate, but still no call. I was full sprint when I hit the goalie, but it seems like maybe there wasn't enough severity in the contact to trigger interference? I'm not too sure, tbh.
If it helps, my build stats in these clips were roughly 94 speed/acceleration, 83 balance, 80 body checking, 84 strength.
I was also wondering about this while writing this post. You know how you can shove a player away from the puck and it doesn't always trigger a penalty? Like, the player can get knocked off balance and all that, but there won't be a penalty, depending on your discipline, I guess. I wonder if it's a similar thing with goalies where there are times when you make contact with the goalie, it might be enough to move the goalie, but not enough to trigger interference. Idk, just a thought I had.
