But if Kylington isn’t interferes with then the flames have support and back pressure coming up the middle of the ice, so Drai can’t just cut right across the middle like that, and Tanev getting beat there doesn’t look as bad .
Tanev getting beat there suddenly is 100x worse than it should be because there is no support coming up the middle from his partner.
Still a bad play by Tanev but maybe not a goal against if Kylington is there to not let Draisaitl walk right across the crease

I guess i look at it from the entirely opposite direction. The interference is irrelevant if you don’t get beat so cleanly like that. Draisatl was 100% past Tanev and he was chasing him. Yeah sometimes you get beat but you can’t get beat like that. That’s a prime scoring chance even if Kylington can support.
I’ll have to look at the interference again but did Kylington have to go down like a sack of flour at that point or could he have fought though it?
