He clearly knocks it in. Not carries it in.
That was 100% a goal. No doubt about it. At all.

There’s plenty of doubt. Lots of people here doubt it. Sutter doubts it. Ball doubts it (and IMO he’s got the best vision in the business).
Just because the puck gets a little ahead of you for a half second and you recover it before anyone else can, it doesn’t mean you lost possession. Players push the puck ahead and catch up all the time. That to me is possession. The puck was never more than a couple feet offf his stick.
