Last year's Stanley Cup game winning goal was scored after the shot went wide of the net - bounced off the boards- and Hornquist from behind the goal line shot it in off Rinne. I was hoping that the league might have thought to come up with a rule that says you can't score directly off the boards. I know there are all sorts of lucky bounces that happen to go in but these are ugly goals that can be designed. Last night John Karlson took a one timer that went wide and bounced off the boards and went right to Ovechkin but he couldn't handle the rebound. If Karlson doesn't rip it quite so hard the bounce off the boards is manageable and its basically a slam dunk into an open net. I believe the the 2nd goal by Vegas in game 2 was scored like this. I have been watching hockey for more than 30 years and this play seems to be more and more prevalent. I just see it as an artificial rebound or an artificial pass from behind the net
