Remember last Thursday in Pittsburgh when Philadelphia Flyers winger Simon Gagne’s shorthanded goal was disallowed due to ‘inconclusive evidence? Evidently there is an issue with the replays that officials in Toronto received. The issue? They didn’t get all of them from FSN in Pittsburgh. The NHL is investigating why FSN Pittsburgh withheld video evidence showing that Gagne’s shorthanded goal should have allowed. Gagne’s goal would have given the Flyers a commanding 6-3 lead with just under three minutes left in the second period. The play was reviewed by Toronto replay officials and they deemed the replays showed no conclusive evidence that the puck crossed the goal line. One replay that was eventually showed on TV by FSN proved that the puck carried in by goalie Brent Johnson and the goalie pushed the puck back out from the back of the net. Toronto officials stated that they didn’t get that specific camera angle.
