3. The NHL is incompetent

The NHL is turning into the NFL because their replay system is so messed up. A clear no-goal was allowed to stand because of the rulebook.

A puck went into the netting but the refs failed to realize that and the puck ended up on Artemi Panarin’s stick and made it a 2-1 game.

I couldn’t believe my eyes. How is that play not reviewable?

You’re telling me that you can review if a player’s skate was a millimeter off the ice to cause an offside 2 minutes before a goal occurs, but you can not review a puck that clearly went into the netting?

It was the stupidest thing I have ever seen. I wanted to throw my remote through my TV. I don’t know how 4 referee’s manage to miss that call.

The NHL needs to fix their replay rules because if the Bruins lost we may have had a repeat of the Boston Tea Party.
