Because I don't know how you can say Cale friggen Makar didn't "have possession"

It came down to: did he push forward and then pick it up, or was he stick-handling(possession)? It's close, and the angle that Sportsnet kept showing made it look like the puck was only about an inch from his stick. And from that angle, I thought it was possession and they would overturn it. But there are a couple other angles, including the one from behind the net, that show pretty clearly that he pushed it forward, and it was maybe 6 inches from his stick until he touched it again.
From those angles, it looked like the correct call. And pretty clearly.
