It's not often I'm willing to bitch about the game itself, last night proved that there are kinks in the rules the NHL still has to work out by itself.
The sly goaltender interference in the middle of the third (which the refs missed) resulted in a goal. That doesn't really make me mad. What pisses me off is the NHL refused to look at it because it was deemed "unreviewable," when it's pretty obvious that it was a complete horseshit goal to begin with.
This abridgment of fair play on the puck is a stain on the NHL and deserves to be dealt with by its staff. It invites poor officiating and does absolutely nothing when the refs miss a call or take it upon themselves to issue even-up penalties. Just take a look at 4:40:
