If it's a good goal, fine.

The problem is a lack of consistency. We have all seen that exact play called off-side a thousand times. There is a good chance that it happens later this game, and is blown down.

The only reason that it wasn't blown down by the linesman on the ice, was that his view from the far side was blocked and he couldn't see it. Otherwise, he would have blown it down.

It's a magic goal, if only because it doesn't happen in the real world, only if an argument can be made that the Carolina player lost possession. He batted it in, and was the first to touch it on the other side of the line. When you slow it down to a crawl, a two foot tap in looks like a massive dump in. It takes forever for him to get to the puck (at 1/100 speed)!

Anyway, it's a goal. Refs do get an assist on this one though.
