I think this goal should count, I dont like the rules of the puck not allowed to go backward . It could be part of a deke and should count
So the league really is blind then.I don't get how this could be the explanation? Were they watching a different replay?
Those moves by Panarin reminded me of this shootout goal Mitch Marner had against Ottawa, which they thought should not count and after a review it still did.

It's tough to call because while the puck and Panarin did move away from the goal, it appeared to still move toward the goal line (which extends from board to board).. or at least moves parallel to the line.. It's a really tough call for me..

You can see the puck move away from the goal line just as he gets in front of the crease, it chips off the back edge of his stick and goes the other direction.Two things:
-The rule says the puck can't move away the the goal line, not the goal. The goal line extends to the width of the ice. So when you are moving laterally past the goal, you can technically be moving the puck away from the goal and at the same time be moving it towards the goal line.
-The rule has never been interpreted strictly, as they would technically have to call off many attempts where a guy is skating slowly and just stickhandling normally because the puck does technically move backwards in many cases. It seems the only case they would call it off is if the player and the puck were moving backwards at the same time.
That's why I made point #2, the NHL has never nitpicked this.You can see the puck move away from the goal line just as he gets in front of the crease, it chips off the back edge of his stick and goes the other direction.
So maybe I just don't understand the rule but I feel like this is rarely ever followed unless the play is particularly egregious. For instance, by the wording of the rule this datsyuk goal should not count, right? He moves the puck away from the goal line right before he flips it upI don't get how this could be the explanation?

That's how the rule seems to be called. But the actual wording of the rule reads "the puck must be kept in motion towards the opponent's goal line". So who knowsWatch Datsyuk's body. He is always moving forward towards the end of the rink.
My understanding is you're allowed to pull the puck back to stickhandle, but overall you have to keep progressing forward towards the goal.
Sick dangles regardless.
