November 17, 2023: That was a goal. At least, it should’ve been.
Detroit Red Wings defenseman Jake Walman toe-picked on the goal line, crashing into his net and knocking it off the moorings just prior to a shot on goal from Toronto Maple Leafs’ Mitch Marner.

It would be nice to be able to interview the refs after the game so we can better understand how they got it wrong.
How was that not a goal? I genuinely don't get that.
Annoying when commentators don’t know the rules and blather on about how it was accidental and therefore can’t imagine why it might be a goal
