That is the rule, unfortunately the video goal judge was only allowed to determine whether or not the puck crossed the line. Of course that means the original call by the on-ice officiators indisputable.
No, I am not a Wings fan, I'm an Oilers fan. However, I can see how seriously flawed and void of logic the NHL rules are.
This was a colossal blunder which really should have resulted in NO GOAL and a Penalty for goaltender interference.
Sadly though, the NHL officiating is so poorly guided or biased that mistakes like this can't be overruled by goal judges or video review.
This goal ultimately cost Detroit a 2-0 series lead, which is simply unforgivable. Seems like they've been putting the real effort into the Ottawa vs. Buffalo series.
Anyhow, I'm sure the Wings will battle back, they series may be tied up, you may be heading back to Anaheim, but I can't see the Wings losing to the likes of Perry, Pronger and Salami.
KILL THEM!
Btw, working on a little photoshop picture for you guys Good luck in the rest of the series and thanks for knocking Calgary out. I thoroughly enjoyed that
