Goalies aren't fair game, of course, but that wasn't a check either. It was two guys racing for the same puck not seeing each other and resulting in an unintended collision. The penalty call was entirely based on result: the fact that a goalie went out, did something very stupid given the situation, and got himself injured in the process.
