Let me clarify what I meant by what I thought shoulld not have been called
interference.
 
As a player enters a zone, and a man is on him, and the puck is close,
but off of the stick, and the defensive player checks, or rides the possesion
player off the puk, this should not be an interference penalty, yet it was
called consistently all night for both SLU and RPI.
 
I hope that helps.
