yeah, that's a pretty big exception. :huh: And that does NOT happen in every shootout attempt - just this one. Just before the shot, the puck was definitely not moving forward.

I think the SO rule should be modified to disallow any scored goal if the puck was not obviously moving toward the goal line during the entire SO attempt process. And refs can check replays of course.

And this achieves what? You just move the point at which arguments start slightly in the goalies favour, there will still be just as many arguments. One man's obvious is another man's ambiguous just as one man's forward is another man's sideways.
