Upon further review, no goal.
Boston Bruins forward Noal Acciari appeared to score a season-saving overtime goal Friday in Game 5, but it was disallowed after video review due to goaltender interference on the part of Sean Kuraly.

The reaction on Twitter was, in a word, befuddled:
Wow. No goal. I think it's a good goal but we could debate it for the next two days & not agree. The issue w/reviewing goalie interference.

<raises hand> I think that's the right call!

I see zero goaltender interference on that play.

Ah yes. Now I know what goaltender interference is. And is not. I think. Maybe....

I have no idea what's a good goal anymore. To me, that one should count.

Leave it Roberto Luongo to drop some gold:
Good goal cuz a game 6 is good for HRR?

No goal cuz Gary hates the players.....

A former NHL official also chimed in:
Bruins goal should be good...but??

then again?? Who knows?

Good effort, Bruins.
Excellent “pretend we don't see the ref” fake celebration by the Bruins, by the way.
