Just to post the rule:
"(vi) When the puck has been directed into the net by a stick of an attacking player that is above the height of the crossbar."
Does that mean any part of the stick above the crossbar, or the point where puck hit the stick? Either way, it's a tough call. It just seemed like one ref called it a goal and the other one went right over the booth. At least we got a point (I guess). I just wish our defensemen would learn to clean/tie up guys in the front of the net so the wouldn't be in position to make those plays. Of course, billionaire Tommy G is having too much fun hob-nobbing with the state politicans and important figures, unwilling to spend that extra few million bucks left under the left (the Sabres have a self-imposed cap) NHL cap, to give really care. With Larry Quinn in charge, it only handcuffs what the team can do
This team just seems to get ahead and make stupid turnovers late in the game, giving other teams the team. I'm starting to wonder if it's time to let Lindy go and bring in someone new.
I gotta say, Malkin is becoming a guy I hate playing against more than Crosby. He just seems to be an incredible playmaker.
