Can someone fill me in if that "goal" counted. 702840[/snapback] Happened later in the season during the Sabres last "slump." Yes it did count. The NHL's excuse was the goal judge in Toronto couldn't reach anyone in Calgary in time to say it was no goal. So what else is new? PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PTR 702841[/snapback] So if a player actually does this, and the ref. sees it, does the goal count? I say no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had he just stood there and it deflected off his foot, it would have stood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agilen Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 I believe the video goal judge in Calgary was removed from his post after this game. The league called Darcy Regier right away and apologized for this. I heard Bettman talking during the playoffs, and he mentioned that the league believe that only 4 or 5 goals were called incorrectly this year, and while he'd like it to be 0, he thinks that is a good number. I'm sure this goal was one of those 4 or 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shouldn't be that difficult! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
