VIDEO: Red Wings D Kronwall scores bizarre tying goal vs. Kings
Red Wings defenseman Niklas Kronwall tied Saturday's game against the Kings in the final minute of regulation with a once-in-a-lifetime goal, because it will probably be outlawed by Sunday.
Kronwall's point shot deflected off Kings forward Jarret Stoll and bounced off the netting above the end boards before falling onto goaltender Jonathan Quick's back and into the net.

The play was not reviewable and none of the officials saw it hit the netting, which would have stopped play and negated the goal. Los Angeles coach Daryl Sutter was incensed after the game, telling reporters the result was "embarrassing for the league."
Sutter: "What are you going to do at the outdoor game? What if it goes through a cumulus cloud and comes back down?"

That's a good question. Would the cloud get credit for the goal?
