Not only was there little or no evidence of a high stick, IMHO there was 
no evidence that the puck ever crossed the goal line, despite one of the 
CSTV announcers proclaiming it "obvious". 

Also, while York may say "the goal judge is strictly there to tell the 
referee if the puck goes over the red line. That's his only job", the 
rule book says, in part "The referee may ask the goal judge how the puck 
entered the goal cage."

Hansen's the perfect reason to support the 4-man officiating system ;-)

cheers, wayne
