Ron Wilson – know-it-all idiot of the NHL

In Game 5 of the Western Conference semi-finals between the Stars and Sharks there were 2 goals by Brenden Morrow that were waved off. The first of these 2 goals was a supposed “distinct kicking motion” by Morrow.
The goal was reviewed, re-reviewed and reviewed some more before being waved off. The rule book states that a goal should be waved off it there is a “distinct kicking motion”.
Do you see such a motion in this video (below)?
There are 3 things that must be highlighted here.
1. Brenden Morrow was DRAGGING his foot while crashing the net. No kicking motion, not even any movement in that leg that would create further momentum on the puck.
2. Brenden Morrow didn’t even know the puck was there, as he was looking the other way.
3. This is a set play for the Stars. Morrow crashes the net, the center passes the puck into the slot, and usually a defenseman takes the shot. Morrow gets the re-bound if needed.
So why is Ron Wilson the biggest know-it-all of the NHL?
He supposedly stated that he saw this was a distinct kicking type goal the minute it happened. Yes, he claims he saw that Morrow “kicked” the puck, all the way from his bench, through his own team, as well as all the Dallas players on the ice.
The referees needed to review this goal a number of times… and Ron Wilson saw it clear as day the first time? Give me a break! Ron Wilson, stop being an egomaniac know-it-all and get some reality in your coaching.
