No Stanley Cup playoffs would be complete without a bizarre officiating controversy. The NHL delivered once again on Sunday night, as Ryan Poehling\u2019s overtime goal gave the Anaheim Ducks<\/a> a 4-3 win against the Edmonton Oilers<\/a> and a 3-1 stranglehold on the series. The question is, howevever, did the puck actually, fully cross the goal line? Poehling\u2019s centering pass deflected off Edmonton defenseman Darnell Nurse\u2019s skate and squeezed through the five hole of goaltender Tristan Jarry. The puck seemingly crossed the goal line, but Jarry\u2019s skate blade partially covered the puck from the overhead camera angle, making it impossible to completely see the puck across the line.<\/p>\n

Did the puck fully cross the line??<\/p>\n

The \u201cdid it or didn\u2019t it\u201d aspect of the play wasn\u2019t the only odd thing about it. After the puck apparently went in, Poehling and the Ducks were celebrating, but the officials made no call for some time. They eventually announced that it had been ruled a goal on the ice, and after a video review, announced that the call on the ice had been confirmed. Anaheim wins.<\/p>\n

On Monday\u2019s episode of\u00a0Daily Faceoff LIVE<\/a>,\u00a0hosts Tyler Yaremchuk and Carter Hutton were joined by The Sheet\u2018s Jeff Marek to discuss the wild scene in Anaheim on Sunday night.<\/p>\n

Jeff\u00a0Marek:\u00a0The way that we got to the right call was really awkward, and does raise a lot of questions. Initially as we\u2019re all watching this thing go through, I think we\u2019re all saying \u201cIf you\u2019re an Oiler fan, you\u2019re hating on this,\u201d for all the reasons that you guys already outlined. How can you make the call that that thing was ruled a goal when no one was in position to see it? Ultimately, the situation room did say they had evidence to show that this was a goal. So whether it was called a goal on the ice or not a goal on the ice, the situation room was going to \u201cget the call right.\u201d <\/p>\n

I\u2019ll tell you what I\u2019m curious about here. I mentioned this to Jason Gregor on The DFO Rundown that we recorded last night. I want to know how they arrived at the initial call. What I want to hear is, and we will never get this. What I\u2019m going to ask for, we will not get. I want to hear the conversation the four officials had by the penalty box. What was discussed there? How did they discuss getting there? To me, there\u2019s candy in there. What was the conversation? Because I don\u2019t know how anyone saw that initially.<\/p>\n
