NO GOAL!

I don't know if y'all have heard about the Red Wings/Stars game yesterday when Steve Ott won it on a phantom goal.

Well, I was there and of course they didn't give us any good replays at the arena, but it didn't seem to go in all the way and the ref who was RIGHT there waved it off immediately.

Then they went to the phones and we waited.. and waited.. and waited and eventually they called it a goal. (but was his foot in the crease?)

I saw an article today which includes video- pause it at 1:20 and you can clearly see that the puck did NOT cross the line. It doesn't matter if it was 9/10 of the way over the line, it must COMPLETELY cross to be a goal.

I call bullshit.

In other news, the poor Red Wings just lost another shootout to the Blackhawks. At least it wasn't a phantom goal.
