The zebras huddled up and “changed” call on the ice to a goal. Then they quickly reviewed it a called it a goal.

Right call or league bending the rules after a quick whistle?

No excuse for Shesterkin not to have the shot though
 
The most confusing part of all that was that they said the call on the ice was goal. I never saw that signal and I'd be interested if somebody has them signaling goal.

It’s ok. Nothing new. Rangers just had a goal called against them when the ref clearly blew the play dead before the puck went in. They just make shit up as they go. No more intent to blow the whistle anymore either lol
This is a new rule.
Continuous Play rule (Rule 37), which states that a goal may be awarded, even after a whistle is blown, "if the puck entered the net as the culmination of a continuous play, where the result of the original shot was unaffected by any whistle blown[...]"
 
Well it's not like the goalie deserved to get rewarded on that play. And look on the bright side: since the standards on NHL video reviews are consistent, and not made up to match whatever outcome they want, that means "intent to blow" is gone forever, and I don't think anyone will miss it.

Yeah, fair enough.

Seems subject to a lot of grey area which why this type of play is such a source of frustration, but in this case, it was clearly continuous.
 
I was today years old when I learned that all the times they said "oopsie doopsie f***y wucky we blew the whistle" they were wrong.

I'll tip my cap to this one and just remember it when they f*** it up next time.

Let me put "hey remember the Hughes goal???!!" in my copy and paste pile.
 
Didn't the same thing happen in game 5 of the cup final. I think it was the 2nd goal where you could hear a whistle, yet the puck entered the net quickly after and it was ruled a good goal.

Edit - ok nvm, just made aware of a rule change. Good goal.
I don't think it's a rule change, I just think they weren't following the rule all the times they told us "sorry we blew the whistle but we did."

Make sure you compare it to similar plays though.

As in don't compare it plays where the puck was shot after the whistle. IE scramble in front of the net, puck trickles out, whistle blows, puck gets put in.

That's the most common scenario in which the whistle rule gets implemented.
