Pretty sure it fits in here, if not sorry.
1999 when the Stars won the Stanley Cup against the Sabers, there was a rule: if you stepped in the goalie's crease even a half a millimeter of your skate when in and you scored, there would be no goal. All year they would stop the game and review the goal if the player was near the crease. So, 1999 Stanley Cup playoff finals, Dallas Stars Vs Buffalo Sabers the goalies were, Buffalo: Dominik Hasek and the Stars: Ed Belfour. Brett Hull shoots and his skate was on the crease. The refs didn't review it or nothing! Knowing Hasek he didn't argue. So Dallas wins their one and only cup because of bad refs.
I'm not a Sabers fan, but this is beyond favoritisms for one team. To late now to make a call, that was in 1999.
