'Kicked-in-Goal' Rule Has Canucks' Fans Crying Conspiracy
To be honest, I would like to "propel" the NHL's rule for disallowing kicked-in goals into outer space, never to be seen again.
But unlike a lot of Vancouver Canucks fans, I don't believe anyone is out to get them. The Canucks are not a victim of a grand conspiracy so much as a proclivity to take too many penalties at a time when their penalty killing, and perhaps their goaltending, isn't where it needs to be. And besides, the series, at 2-1 for Los Angeles, is far from over.
The fact that the man who made the no-goal decision last night on Daniel Sedin in Los Angeles is Mike Murphy, the NHL's director of hockey operations who once played and coached in Los Angeles, has no bearing on anything unless you happen to wear a tin-foil hat.

Refs called it a goal - It was Toronto that made the call!!!! So it was most likely a Canadian calling no goal on a Canadian team....
The refs sided for Vancouver and they are still not happy with them....
Refs will never win (not that they really should)

There's a good explanation by Dreger about why the goal was disallowed:

Just get rid of the "kicked in" rule altogether! I think that they should allow ANY goal that goes in off the skate purposely or inadvertantly. I know that there is the possibilty of injuring an opponent if the skate misses the puck and hits the player instead. But the goal off of a skate rarely happens.
There are 2 ways you can kick a puck:
1 - with the toe of the skate (dangerous if you make contact with a player) but most players will not try this because it would be hard to make contact with a puck and that one millimeter part of the skate.
2 - with the side of the blade (dangerous because of the slicing motion), but this would be more of a sweeping motion than a kick. Of course the skate blade could come up and make contact with a tendon or a prone goalie, but this could happen anytime there's a goalmouth scramble anyways.
And with 2 referees in the game and a million cameras in the stands, if there is intent by a player to purposely kick someone while in the process of trying to score, you can pretty much tell right away and the appropriate penalty will be handed out.
