NHL Head Coach Calls Out Garry Bettman's Rulebook
On Monday night, the Washington Capitals upset the Detroit Red Wings 4-3 in overtime. After the Wings had a 2-0 lead in the second period, Capitals player Nic Dowd surprised them by scoring two goals in just 11 seconds.
But what if the referee was aware that the second goal was illegal? The play should have been stopped when it appeared that the puck had struck the net over the boards. The referee even brought his whistle to his lips but stopped for a moment, allowing the Capitals to score before he blew the play dead.

I think even the ref knew it hit the netting, That's why he gave us as much time as he did. But it's inconclusive. It is what it is. It's frustrating because it went against us tonight, but the fact that our goalie is adamant it hit the netting, our guys are adamant it hit the netting but we don't get a feed from it?
