IMO, too many goals are called back. I think that they should only be called off if there is clear, direct contact, initiated by the skater toward the goalie. If the player and the defender are fighting for space, and they happen to marginally nudge the goalie without any direct intent - and especially if that happens outside the crease - then it should count.
Waving off goals sucks for fans. And it's so marginal and unpredictable. I would like to see this largely removed - blatant contact/interference, or don't worry about it

Going by the rule book it shouldn't have been a goal IMO...the rule itself is a debate for another day. I have seen that play called back multiple times...crease is irrelevant the attacking player has to avoid contacting the goalie especially coming from behind the net.
