All we're going to say is you need to watch this all the way through just to see how sick this is...
The voice of the Marlies, FOSG Simon Bennett, probably still can't process what went down...
Frankly, we're still figuring it out...

AHL Game-Winning Goal Shoulda Been Wiped Out...
((HT: The AHL their own selves))
Here's how last night's game ended...
((HT: CBSSN/AHL/youtube))
The Norfolk Admirals get a 1-0 win and a 3-0 series lead off the fluke goal over the Marlies...
Marlies coach Dallas Eakins said last night: "I would rather someone take a pair of steel toed boots and kick me in the nether regions than lose a game like that."
But then, we get this revelation this morning- the goal shouldn't have counted...
American Hockey League President and CEO David Andrews has issued the following statement:
“We have spoken with Toronto Marlies management and confirmed that a rules interpretation error by the on-ice officials occurred on the Norfolk Admirals’ overtime goal during Game 3 of the Calder Cup Finals.
“On the play, a dump-in from center ice by a Norfolk player caromed off a stanchion and into the Toronto net. The correct application of AHL Rule 83.4 would have negated the Norfolk goal due to a delayed offside call.
“As AHL By-Laws do not allow for any change to the final result of a game based on an incorrect rule interpretation, the result of the game stands.”
Eakins responded this morning...
Never forget that @theahl is a developmental league for the referees as well. Players and coaches have made mistakes. We all move on.
Eakins is naturally coach-confident about Game 4, so we'll see...
