It's hilarious how everyone is looking at the wrong part of that controversial goal. It was in on the first try on Sparks' left - you can see the Star's player celebrating as he watched it go in. But Sparks pulled it out with his hand, and the refs missed it until the review.

I’m just glad it doesn’t matter. The better team won and it’s good the series didn’t have a controversial ending.

And you can tell by Keefe's reaction after seeing the replay contradicted what the refs told him that it clearly did not go in. The Stars reaction means absolutely nothing, just like going off of Keefe's reaction does not really mean a whole lot either. They are going to sell whatever comes close to going in. They probably thought it went in under his pad, but it did not. You can see that on the replay just on the way the puck squirts out from under his glove (how the whistle was not blown dead long before any of this crap even happened is beyond me, especially when they were quick on the whistle on a similar type of scrum in the Stars' end).

The only way that puck could have gone in was if it was underneath Sparks' pad and it went in when the guys were digging at it when it was under his pad. However since their digging was the reason why his pad went into the net in the first place, it still would not have counted because you can not score a goal by pushing a goalie's pad into the net.

It does not matter now. Cost Sparks the shutout but at least the better team won out in the end. Would be different if that goal cost us the championship.
