Yeah interference is not a call I've ever seen made at the front of net in trying to establish position. At any time.
Coyle blew it by either embellishing or simply not being strong enough on his skates.
Thank God the NHL didn't overturn that or defenders will be falling into their goalie all the time to try and draw a call.
