Maybe they should look at the hand pass rule in general.
Can you touch the puck with your hand? Yes or no. If yes, maybe you should be able to do anything but score a goal that way. To score a goal, it has to have come from the stick of the attacking team (still allowing for deflections off defending team).
Of course, we might not have beat Vancouver in 89.
Or perhaps it’s like soccer and you can’t touch the puck with your hand. That probably doesn’t work so well since soccer players have their head and chest to use. Doesn’t work so well in hockey.
Unfortunately that was a blatant missed call under the rules.
