I would be peeved the Kylington goal counted, but only based on how things have been called. Tvp, I think Ryan was setting for a shot, and cleared the poke-check in the process.
I think goaltender interference needs starts with what Coach bolded:
"an attacking player, either by his positioning or by contact, impairs the goalkeeper’s ability to move freely within his crease or defend his goal; or (2) an attacking player initiates intentional or deliberate contact with a goalkeeper, inside or outside of his goal crease."
So, for starters, the contact is only in the crease
Secondly, it has to be intentional contact
Thirdly, it had to directly impact the play
There needs to be an established example of what they evaluate a goalie being 'ready' by, and there needs to be better judgement on intentional contact. They also need to consider the defencive impact on the attacking player, as lots of these calls come from contact initiated by the defence.
