The goal was originally credited to Lanny McDonald, but was quickly changed to Berezan, which makes me think he had a look on the monitor which seemed extremely odd at the time.
When you watch the aftermath of the goal, you can see an official talking and explaining something to Jim Peplinski, who seems to question the reason for the delay.
Pepper usually walks past our seats to visit some folks in the accessible section, and I've always meant to ask him about this.

Oddly enough in advance of the best ever #33 poll I was poking around last week trying to look up the Carey Wilson spleen incident.
This thread from 2010 of this glorious moment was at the top of the search.
Bryan Lewis emailed one of our posters about the game. It was his last ever as he already had a bad knee and had injured it just before this. He finished the game but flew home right away after which really caused more damage.
Here is the link to the thread. Poster named Ray unearths it in post 16
