Kerry Fraser did not officiate that game. The outcry following the game 4 fiasco caused the NHL to switch Fraser and Watson out to avoid any incidents. Also, there isn't a referee in hockey that would have been able to call that a goal on the ice. That was a failure to get a video replay.

Same Kerry Fraser who missed a high sticking call on Wayne Gretzky against Doug Gilmour. Then Gretzky scored the OT winner.

A call he admits was blown.

Same Kerry Fraser who was on at least 4 of the TSN top 10 controversial call/non-call in the NHL. The guy blew so many games while he was refereeing in the NHL so enough said.
Don't get me wrong, i am not siding with LA on this thing. I am just calling what I seen on that video replay.

And in the end, Fraser is still right, and you are still wrong. That goal should not have counted.
Ultimately, I think we are seeing in hockey what baseball went through last year. A critical mass of controversial or blown calls that fall outside the current video review policies is being developed such that the governors can't put it off any longer. They have to review the concept of video review to allow for some of these situations to be challenged.
