Certainly not, because every goalie does it. Often during normal game play to slow up opposing players going behind the net, especially to protect defensemen from being hit hard. It can and sometimes is called interference (and it is, no question about that). In Osgood's case, since the stick got up into Ribeiro's face, it should have been a simple two minute minor for high sticking.
