The Ducks were down 3-1 at the start of the 3rd period. This goal would have given the Ducks a 4-3 lead with under 5 minutes to play. The call on the ice was good goal, Toronto challenged.
The Ducks won in OT.

If the wheels aren't starting to slip off the Maple Leaf tricycle, the fans are certainly becoming unhinged.
I was watching the game just to see the leafs blow it. Man this wasn't the only issue, ducks played gets hauled down and no penalty shot, then the exact same thing happens to a leafs player and they get the penalty shot(which they blew). The officiating was so lopsidedly Leafs it was glaring. The broadcasters kept commenting on it, the fans were pissed. I know games get called lopsidedly but this was one of the worst i have ever seen. And If anyone interfered with the goalie it was his own player, no sign the Ducks player was driving him into his goalie, and no way it prevented him from saving the goal. It was a laughable call. Maybe it is time to move the war room from Toronto to some town that doesn't have a team....
The overhead shows it best: Henrique pushes the Toronto player into his own goalie. I would say no goal.
Talk about two crazy bounces to find the back of the net, though.
As much as I wanted it to count and the Leafs to blow a 2-goal lead & lose again, I can see the no-goal call... borderline, though.
