"Last night it was unanimous amongst the four of us, the puck was pushed over the line in intentional fashion," explained Mike Murphy, the NHL’s senior vice-president of hockey operations.
"You can stop a puck into the net and you can redirect it into the net, but you can't drag or push a puck into the net. We saw him pushing the puck into the net."

Have they even read the rulebook? This was the subject of the CBC panel too and it's misinformation at best.
I 100% agree that it was intentional, and if that was the standard then there would be no controversy. Coleman wanted to that puck to go in and he worked really hard to ensure that it did go in the net because he's a good ####ing hockey player and that's what good hockey players do.
But he didn't distinctly kick it in because that's against the rules and he obviously knows that along with the rest of the world.
