Midway through the first period, the Bruins had just finished a terrible power play. The fourth line took the ice, and got some good pressure going on the forecheck.
The puck ended up on net, around the net, near the net, and then...in the net. Sean Kuraly whacked home a loose puck to make it 1-0 Bruins, a huge goal after a bad power play.
It lasted about 5 minutes (the review was really long).
Columbus challenged for goalie interference, and the refs overturned the call of “good goal” on the ice.

After #CBJ challenges, the call on the ice is overturned, and the goal is waved off. John Tortorella and the Blue Jackets challenged two goals in the regular season for interference, but neither was overturned.

Your thoughts?
I can see why they called it, but I don’t know that it was the right call. Scott Harrington certainly pushed Joakim Nordstrom toward Sergei Bobrovsky, but it looks like Nordstrom may have made a second bit of contact too. Others have argued that Bobrovsky had time to reset himself, but the arguments weren’t heard.
Fans quickly pointed to this bit of interference in the first round, which was reviewed and determined to be a good goal:
ICEBREAKER! @AM34 gets the @MapleLeafs on the board.
