The only slight contact was Talbot reaching his glove out of the crease to pit his hand on the back.
Again, the fact that this goal was challenged by a coach is proof that something is screwed up in the system. There is no possible definition of goaltender interference that would make that not a goal - or else all a goalie has to do is reach out and touch a defender to get a goal called off every time.
