On both the CBC and the NBC broadcasts the analysts missed the call until after the ruling by the refs to see that St. Louis knocked the puck into their own zone. Amazing call from the linesman and the Toronto Situation Room
Technically it should've still been offsides. The puck hitting the Blues player's stick isn't considered "Possession" since it merely deflected off it, making the last possession still the Bruins and the play still being an offsides. If the Blues player had stopped the puck and stick handled once, it would've been a good goal. Not a fan of either team. Just something I noticed according to NHL rule that I haven't heard anyone mention on that play.

I think it went off a St. Louis stick, either way a few inches offside shouldn’t matter.
Good call

Puck went off Blues stick and into the zone, therefore, on sides and good goal
