from Joe Haggerty of CSNNE,

The goal would have tied the game at 2-2 in the third period, and would have been a major development for a B’s team struggling for offense. Instead, the NHL ruled the video was “inconclusive” as to whether the puck crossed over the goal line, and so the “no-goal” call was upheld by league officials. It was a ridiculous blown call by the NHL in the third period of a game with major playoff implications for both teams, and an embarrassment given the technology and tools that the hockey ops people have at their disposal in Toronto.

There were major reactions of stunned outrage from the Bruins huddled around the home bench, and disgruntled TD Garden fans started raining debris, and boos, down on the ice.

Claude Julien was beside himself postgame while discussing the blown video replay after feeling like there were already some questionable calls in the Rangers loss just 24 hours earlier.

“I can’t explain it either,” said an exasperated Julien. “I’m as baffled as you are right now, and I looked at it many times here before coming out here. It looks like it’s in. It looks very conclusive. That’s two in two games now. Tonight, obviously, was a very important goal, and, you know, it’s unfortunate. We think we’ve got great technology.

“We’ve got everything going, but people just think we were getting it right [with the replays]. I don’t necessarily agree with that because we’re obviously still not getting it right. I’ve got another coach that texted me [on Thursday], and there was, ‘WTF. How can that not be a goal?’ That’s coming from somebody who’s neutral.”
