One assumes a professional hockey player wouldn’t miss a goal like that, and it’s probably best to avoid any embarrassment such a miss would generate!
A few years back, during a shootout, the goaltender threw his stick at Ovi’s shot on goal to block it. Ovi knew immediately that he should be awarded the goal, but the refs had to talk about it for a minute. They did make the right call in the end though.

Found the video! I thought it was the Rangers, but I didn’t think it was Lundqvist. It was Georgiev. Also that was SEVEN years ago. Sigh.
