Justice (The Lack Thereof In The NHL)

I'm just gonna say this: If experience is any guide, had the Blues "scored" the Red Wings "goals" last night, and the Red Wings had scored the Blues goals, the game would have ended 3-0 in regulation in favor of the Detroit. There is no way the first two goals would not have been called "kicked", or that the last goal would have either A) been blown dead as being "unsighted", or been ruled knocked in by a hand (which it was.)

Only when it will benefit their so-called "standard bearers" will the NHL call a back heel NOT a form of kicking. I guarantee you if the Blues (or Panthers or Hurricanes or any regular team) is playing Detroit or Pittsburgh, any back heeled goal will be called back as having been kicked.
