That was bullshit.
The rule is very clear: 78.5 Disallowed Goals – Apparent goals shall be disallowed by the Referee and the appropriate announcement made by the Public Address Announcer for the following reasons: (i) When the puck has been directed, batted or thrown into the net by an attacking player other than with a stick. Or he can poke it in with his melon.

I was in the second row, on the exact opposite side of the rink on that goal.I had NO idea what had happened, and thought it was a goal. I laughed when I saw the replay on the jumbo! That kid has a future is soccer!

That was hilarious. Great game! Almost two full games ......... you got your money's worth, eh? (except for that less than desirable ending of course) So many good OT chances for both teams. I was shocked some of those shots by the Ducks didn't go in. Great hockey. |

I stayed up for the 1st OT and went to bed about 2 min into the 2nd OT.
Just too tired, was up since 5am, got home from work for the 3rd. I crashed hard. I wanted too stay up, didn't have it in me. The Ducks had what, 2-3 posts? I figured Chicago would end up winning it...just didn't know how. None of the goalies looked like they were going to allow clean shots in. ETA: It was nice to see Kruger get the game winner after Stoners cheap shot hit from behind. |

Air Canada center is always a sellout but lots of people don't show up unless a top tier team is the Loafs opponent. Leafs are by far the wealthiest team in the NHL and ticket prices and concessions reflect that.
The team is a money making machine and successive ownership groups know they don't have to put a winning team out there and the money still rolls in. |

Love or hate an opposing player, should this ever be said on national television, by NBC employees about a man?
Asked Wednesday how he would stop Perry, Milbury said, “If I were playing against him, I would want to hurt him in a painful and permanent way.” Milbury, a former NHL player, coach and general manager. It's just the Ducks, so I guess this is acceptable. Painful and Permanent...
