The second sentence relates to permitting a player to 'block' a player if they are moving in the same direction. Two different circumstances.

Having watched it again, I think you are right. I would have said MT did move, but feet are likely the only thing that matters on movement (ie. the same direction part). He certainly changed the movement of his upper body, but I agree he was on the same portion of the ice, which is likely all that matters.
So I agree, not interference.
