Arguably the worst call I have witnessed in the NHL age of video review. I’m still in disbelief. What a travesty that this is what we are talking about. How the NHL continues, and officiating in general, to be the story after a pretty entertaining game, it’s a joke. Oilers likely still take the series but I don’t care. They took away a good goal with millions watching, setting a precedent in how future goals like this will or won’t be called, all eyes are on their pathetic group of officials and their “situation room”.
It’s also a stupid rule to begin with. You can battle for a puck in the corners with your skate, and subsequently kick a puck to your teammate along the boards. A goalie, last I checked, can kick a puck with their skate blade to make a save.
