OTOTOT - Bad calls happen all the time in every sport and most people realize that it is just part of the game, even if it is very unfortunate for one team. The fact is that they stopped calling any penalties at all the last 3 or 4 periods of that game. Just one power play could have ended the game! Why didn't they call penalties?? Why didn't they review the goal?? They let the players determine the outcome. Doubt it is the end of the NHL as we know it. Also, funny how everyone hated that rule and thought it shouldn't be enforced - until Dallas benefitted.

OT: In press conference, NHL exec said they did review the play. He said that the tower reviews all goals before they are okayed. Exec further explained that refs are shown tapes of plays that meet the exception to the crease rule and that that goal came within the exception. He further stated that there is no loss of possession when a shot is made and the puck bounces off the goalie or the goal; therefore Hull was never considered to have lost possession; he was continuing to play the puck. It is not solely a question of whether Hull's foot was within the crease at the time he slammed home the last shot. There were plenty of potential penalties that might have resulted in power plays; the refs weren't calling them on the Sabres, either. From the second overtime forward, the hitting dropped off to practically nothing, just skating as both teams tired. The momentum did seem to slowly shift to the Stars in the third overtime. Fact is when a game goes that long and the teams tire, chances are that the winning goal becomes controversial.
