Explanaition for the no goal call....
Quote:
Referee Brian Pochmara had ruled it no goal but the game was paused as the NHL’s Situation Room took a peek.
Viewers at home had reason to believe it would be overruled, to no avail.
Seeking clarification on the call, NHL senior VP Hockey Operations, Mike Murphy, told Postmedia how it went down.
“We reviewed the play because the puck went into the net,” said Murphy in an email.
“We checked to make sure the net was on, which it was. The refs, however, informed us that they had NO GOAL on the ice because (Anaheim goalie John) Gibson was bumped in the crease and unable to play his position. That is their call and the play is not reviewable, so their call on the ice rules.”

BS!!! They were scrambling and so many players fighting to get to the puck. Referees made the call and we all know they think they are superior and will not listen to anyone.
