I'm happy that one counted but I can understand why Oilers fans would be unhappy as there is no consistency with how officials call this play. We have seen so many where if the official loses sight of the puck for a millisecond they will blow the whistle even when the rebound comes right out after a shot. I think tonight's example is the way it should be done as the official should give it a second when he loses sight rather than blowing the puck when it's still loose. It's all about consistency and there's really none when it comes to this type of play which sucks.
