Good call…the puck never left his stick, even though Vokoun’s pad got it.

Tough call, but I’m ok with it being a good goal.

even though his stick is still on it, isn’t it a bit like pushing the pad into the net? I mean, after the puck contacted the pad, it looks like it would have redirected away from the goal-line, but for Moore’s stick being there and pushing it past his pad…...tough call, I dont think it should’ve been called a goal, but I can easily see why you wouldn’t want to overturn the call on the ice.

That should not be a goal. After the puck hits Vokoun’s pad, Moore’s stick slightly swipes at the puck causing the redirection into the goal.

The puck must be kept in motion towards the opponent’s goal line and once it is shot, the play shall be considered complete. No goal can be scored on a rebound of any kind (an exception being the puck off the goal post or crossbar, then the goalkeeper and then directly into the goal), and any time the puck crosses the goal line or comes to a complete stop, the shot shall be considered complete.

I think Vokoun stops it, if only for a millisecond. And isn’t any shot that contacts the goalie by definition a rebound?

Did Tallon beat out Murphy for the Panthers GM job?

Though I love goals, this should not be one.  Clearly a second propulsion of the puck after it hits Vokoun’s pad.  How did the “office” miss this one?  Perhaps watching a re-run of all the bad calls against the Kings over the past year?  lol I kid…  but seriously no goal!

Clearly a second propulsion of the puck after it hits Vokoun’s pad.

Is there any allowance or precedent for a “double touch” on a single motion shot? kinda like in tennis a double hit is allowable if its one continuous motion.

I’m torn. Not sure if in convinced that there was one or two taps.
