I think that angle was rather deciving, the puck was a blur at that point and looked more like an optical illusion then anything.. The overhead view didn't show that the puck went in, question is were the frames per second high enough to match the other camera?


Saw some stills on the close goal by calgary, and it looks like if the puck is on the ice it would be a goal, but if it is airborne it is right on the crease/red line area. Which would support the overhead cam not showing a goal.. Either way, unless someone got a real photo of it from ice level and at a high shutter speed, it will forever be labeled as no goal..


Oh and here is one of the nhl guys that had the call on whether it was a goal or not:

"We reviewed a number of camera angles and only one showed the puck," said Colin Campbell, the NHL director of hockey operations. "Based on the angle of the image and the fact that the puck was in the air and on edge, there was insufficient evidence that the puck conclusively crossed the goal line."
