Yes that goal was weak. But it shouldn't have even counted. An official was right there telling him to leave his stick, and instead Perry start punching Flames' players. No stoppage in play. Goal.
To me that was a worse blown call then the high stick. Even as Perry was punching away, you could see the camera on the jumbotron focusing in on the event.
Is there a rule now where that's not a penalty/stoppage in play and I'm completely out to lunch?? To me that's the turning point in the game. Yes Elliott sucked taint all night. But it was 2 screw jobs that helped contribute to the loss. Perry at the bench, and the high stick. Unreal.

This a thousand times over. Yes the goal was weak but it never should have happened.
I was at the game and it was blatantly obvious the play should have been called dead right with that scrimmage at the Flames bench...and an official was RIGHT there and never stopped play.
To me that was the turning point in the game.
