VIDEO: Sharks score OT game winner on Sabres' Ryan Miller, no one notices
Over overtime of Tuesday night's wild Buffalo Sabres shootout victory over the San Jose Sharks, Sharks winger Tommy Wingels beat Ryan Miller and scored what should've been the game winning goal. Unfortunately for Wingels and the Sharks, no one noticed.
Here's video of the controversial incident:

That's a pretty embarrassing miss for the on-ice officials, but full credit to Tyler Myers for the veteran move to get his big body in between the referee and the puck to hide the result.
CBC's Elliotte Friedman explained how this obvious goal was missed (not only was the call on the ice missed, but the play wasn't reviewed):
I know NHL is going to get destroyed for no-goal in SJ, but neither broadcast had it quickly and BUF's didn't show it at all. If ref says...

no-goal on-ice, I'm not sure how that one is getting caught. Not a great moment...but I can see how it happens. Ugh.

What it probably will mean is more reviews coming.
