read this.. INTENTION IS NOT AN ISSUE !
is whetehr he does it or not. If you hit a puck with a high stick accidentally, doesnt matter, whistle blows. Same here.
You can be dam sure Sedin knew where the puck was and what he was doing. That fucker can play with a blindfold on.

I think you missed the point. seasoned veterans watching the game and watching the slow-mo's ALL agreed it should have been a goal, the decision came down from above, not from the ref's not from the commentators watching the game.
Before the call from upstairs , all the experts in hockey and seasoned veterans who have played professional hockey for YEARS commentating all agreed it should be a goal. Personally i can say i have NEVER seen a goal invalidated from a bounce off the OUTSIDE of a skate. ( mainly because it is next to impossible if not impossible to kick a puck with the outside of your leading foot while using the same foot to balance. try it by sliding sideways in socks on the kitchen floor then use your leading foot to kick a box of jello outwards, now try it while being manhandled by a 200+ lb guy and balancing on a ruler
)
In my opinion the goal was silly anyways , regardless of the intention of the skater, the pass was made to bounce off a skate, that is a cheezy goal and those shouldn't be allowed anyways. Now maybe they took this into account when disqualifying the goal , maybe not, they shouldn't have because it isn't part of the rule.
p.s. if you know anything about canucks fans , you know they are the best playoff choke team around , canucks choke better than anyone around, so they are well used to the picture you posted
