First about the replay of the goal.  It was called a no-goal because it
looked like it was kicked in.  But in the replay, Molin tapped the puck
accross the goal line.  In the replay you can really see the puck change
course as it crosses the goal line after Molin touched it.  It was a hard
call to make in real time.
 
No it doesn't mark the first time.  In the 1993 Final Five Championship
game, ironically with SCSU vs Minn, SCSU looked to have a scored a goal.
It was ruled a goal on the ice, but the replay official ruled it a no
goal.
