Paul Bissonnette, host of "Spittin' Chiclets," voiced his frustration over a controversial goalie interference call during the Buffalo Sabres vs. St. Louis Blues game on Thursday. Bissonnette, who was at the game cheering for Buffalo, pointed out the interference call that took away a goal from Dylan Cozens in the third period. Cozens’ goal was overturned after the Blues challenged for goalie interference.

Paul Bissonnette disagreed with the call, claiming Zach Benson was pushed into St. Louis goalie Jordan Binnington by a defender. He called it absolute bullshit on social media.

"Absolute bullshit goalie interference call on the Sabres. Benson gets pushed into Binnington by the D man. Hose job. This is officially the year of the goalie interference debacle," Paul Bissonnette said.

The game also had another goalie interference call earlier. Justin Faulk of the Blues was called for interference on Sabres goalie Devon Levi, giving Buffalo a power play in the final minute of the third period.
