You won’t believe this one, folks. Belfour tries to clear the puck in overtime. Nelson Emerson grabs the puck, now watch: he’s skating out in front, he’s got the puck in his hand, Eddie tries to stop him, he reaches around and throws it in the net and, believe it or not, they count it! The Hawks say what are you counting that? [Darryl] Sutter’s not too happy. With video replay, how can they count a goal like that?
