It bounces off the glass, then off his Backlund's glove and knee before going to Huby. They called it a hand pass. It is super hard to see which is why they have the War Room in Toronto to f--k up the calls made on the ice.

The of course similarly f--ked up the call vs Nashville where there WAS a hand pass off the top of the net against Calgary, but the goal still counted.

Much like Toronto decided a "distinct kicking motion" is when the puck that was going in anyway deflects off an unturned skate.

Bottom line IMO - the War ROOM in Toronto really sucks at their single job and should be eliminated.

There should be 1 off ice offical in each rink who is there to determine if the puck crossed the goal line, and that's it. No more coach's challenge. Give it back to the refs' eyeballs.

Perfection is the enemy of good... and the WAR ROOM!!! aren't even close to perfection, so let's go back to good + goal line calls.
