It's really quite simple. If the goalie is in the crease you can't touch him and he needs to be able to move freely when trying to make a save. Not sure how people can argue against this.

It looks like the league is starting to show some consistency in the goalie interference calls. I was watching some of the Rangers/Leafs game last night, and Lupul had a goal waved off. He barely touched Lundqvist, but his skate contacted his left pad and affected his ability to make the save. I think the refs got this one right, and it was a good challenge by Hartley.
