What pissed me off is how fast they called it a goal. Didn't waste much time at all with video evidence showing he did kick it. Then you add the faceoff was on wrong side of ice it should of been replayed and the time set back on the clock. This officiating crew should be sent packing for remainder of season for such pitiful performance.
its not black and white, the idea of using the guys in toronto is to make it completely context free, if an on ice official is giving it to one team and then disallows a goal all it does is fuel the fire of the conspiracy theorists.
I though he kicked it in, but it wasnt obvious like the one in the bruins/leafs game ( Seguin I think), it could have gone either way. it went against the habs this time, that's just the way it goes its not some example of a conspiracy or incompetence.
My bigger question is that on the second goal it looked like the ref signaled goal, waved it off then re-signaled goal. My understanding ( which I welcome corrections if warranted) is that if the wave off was for interference, everything after that is moot. The house went crazy at that point so looking at it then would have been a ballsy call.
