A useful idiot.
What did people think?
The league says Daniel Sedin intentionally twisted his toe and that was why they disallowed the goal. To make things even more confusing, NHL VP Mike Murphy offered this....
First off, of course it moved another direction - it hit a skate blade! That's what happens. And second, so it wasn't a "distinct kicking motion," but it was a kick. That's just odd prose. That would be like me saying I was out moving my legs really fast one in front of the other, it wasn't a running motion, but I was running.
Could they be more unclear?
I thought it was a goal. The guy was hockey stopping, it hit his skate, and it went in.

"...When we looked at this one we thought the puck was moving one direction and in order to get it to move back another direction, it had to be propelled someway. We felt it was the skate, not in a distinct kicking motion, but in a kicking motion, that made it move back the other way. It wasn't a deflection, it wasn't a re-direct, it was a kick."
