I don't everr see the puck cross the goal line what-so-ever. My opinion NO GOAL

[solbes]

It COULD have been a goal. From the top angle (the only one I saw) you could not tell whether it crossed the line. Was there a better angle? Since it was ruled no goal on the ice, I would agree NO GOAL. Keep playing in OT. Blais' boys got robbed I think.

[cbrooks]

I don't get that part. It was ruled a no goal on ice but they reversed the call. Was that the goal judge who ruled no goal? I didn't see the game.

It probably was a goal but at no point can I definitively say that the puck was all the way over the line. Should have been no goal IMO.

That link didnt work for me. Ill shop around. I actually never saw the play. It is sounding like a load though.

Also remember, it isnt football. It doesnt matter at all what they called on the ice.

[cbrooks]

It was working earlier . I will try to post another link on here.

The page does work, you just have to click on Goon's world and scroll down to the U tube clip.

Wow, that is about as close as it comes. I wouldnt doubt if the puck was over the line the way it squirted out on the other side. I just dont see how they would have seen it to call it a goal. I think I woulda let em play it out rather then ending a season on what they think might have happened.

It would be nice to see another angle. But I dont think the refs can go much.

If you replay the video over and over and focus on where the puck shoots out of the net from it looks like the puck is kicked out from across the line and out by the goalie. Either that or it is his skate blade or pad straps that I can see.

Probably not clear enough to call it a goal based on what I can see from that but I can see how they might have called it a goal. Bad call since it isn't clear enough to end a teams's national championship hopes.

[brmuskie]

Still not definitive - but looks like a goal.

[cbrooks]

Boy thats still tough to say. Thats the best shot I've seen yet

[solbes]

Nice screen shot there BRMuskie. Kind of looks over the line to me now, but still not 100%. It really couldn't be a closer call. Still it's a tough way to have to get on a bus to head home.

And a tough way to end my St Louis bracket.

I thought it was clearly a goal and props to the officials for getting it right. That would have sucked for Michigan if they wouldn't have got the call correct!

[scsavre]

OK, so this is a bit much. I saw a video that showed the puck through the goalies pad and the puck wasnt over the line. Sounds dumb, I know. My buddy had it up on his computer though. It was like an xray type of deal. Maybe fake. I dont know. im sure you could find it.

The video at :39 (to me) shows the puck over the line
