Passing to a fellow player(#22, D. Sedin) in odd man rush, passer(#19, D. Hamilton) gets tripped by goalie outside the crease and goal to the empty net is not allowed due to goalie interference, which was not caused by me (goalie controled by opponent and willingly went out of crease). According to official NHL rules this is a legit goal, so please fix this issue. Happened to me several times (now am really eager for fix).

You made a progress in this area (in 20 there was a lot of stupid goalie interference, so please tweak this and it will be great)

Happened to me again, this time different situation.
As I can see, you are reluctant to address this issue

This isn't about being reluctant to fix it. It's a very tricky issue that, when fixed, can potentially cause bigger issues with interference being called. The dev team is aware of this, but it's a much more complicated fix than assumed.

Wow, didn't expect you to be that straight forward. Okay for now but it is quite worrying that the game has this kind of "loopholes" or bugs, when fixing one can cause major one. It only shows how fragile this game is.
Allright then, that's okay by me. Hopefuly a new engine could help, but am standing on the ground so I suppose no new engine for quite a while.
Thanks for reply tho.

Thankfully, this is an uncommon issue, but that doesn't make it any less frustrating. I'm definitely sorry for that. Hopefully, we'll see this addressed in the not too distant future.

This is called goalie interference but i was pushed into the goalie by a defender = no goalie interference
And also They scored an own goal, so no goalie interference there either.
Also Golies are allowed to tripp forwards without getting penalty, that is also against the rules and goalie should get 2min served by a teammate

Thanks for the video. I know the dev team is aware of some issues with goalie interference, but I don't have any other details on this currently.
