Lol. I lived in Jacksonville when he was playing for the illustrious Jacksonville Lizard Kings from 1997-1999. I may have even seen him play without knowing who he was. The ECHL was horrific hockey back then.
"That's the game-tying goal in our biggest game of the season," Voracek vented during his post-game interview. "I mean, it's a goal. I don't know how in today's hockey how they can't review that goal from the video or do something. That's the biggest goal of the season right there. It was disallowed. I have no idea why."
One official initially signaled good goal, then all four huddled for about a minute and decided to disallow it. In announcing the call, referee Chris Rooney's only explanation was that the play was not reviewable.
Afterwards a pool reporter asked Stephen Walkom, the NHL director of officiating, why the play was ruled no goal due to incidental contact and was unreviewable. Here was his response in a phone interview.
“That (incidental contact/no goal) is one of the things we’ve been doing a little more this year. I would say it’s happened 20 or 30 times. . .
“(Referee) Chris (Rooney)made a call of no goal. They (on-ice officials) met, contacted someone here, probably Chris King, and he told them it’s not a reviewable play. . .incidental contact.
