It definitely looks like that photo. It would be hilarious if the Flames had a wall of photos of all the times they got screwed out of goals by bad calls in the playoffs. You could have the one in 1990 Game Six OT where the puck was clearly in the goal but was called no goal; Nieuwendyk's in 1991; Gelinas' goal in Game Six against Tampa; and Bennett's one against the Ducks in 2015. |
Yeah, there has to be a back story in that picture being so prominent. As it seems like maybe the executive boardroom (I don't recall seeing it before on TV shots) one of the old owners like Harley was so incensed, and say to put that picture up so whenever official NHL visits came in to this room they see that picture.
Though really, as the video said the pad was just installed the day of game, and it was just installed too tight so that a puck could actually bounce back off of it like it was a post.
1990 goal there was no great picture or video of it on the old crappy Forum, it was just the crooked Denis Morel's judgement. Probably a few autographed sticks from Wayne in his basement.
