The game got to OT because of a game-tying goal late in regulation. Following that tally, the NHL reviewed the goal for what appeared to be a puck that was played with a high stick by Artemi Panarin. It should\u2019ve negated the goal, but the official ultimately announced that the goal stands after the lengthy review.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s the problem: The replay clearly showed a high stick, but the official didn\u2019t give any reasoning as to why the goal counted. The NHL has a transparency problem. They could easily train their officials to explain why a goal stands or is disallowed. It happens sometimes, but not all the time.<\/p>\n
