Early in the second period of Game 6 Tuesday night, Trevor Daley appeared to break the ice, jamming home a loose puck to give the Pittsburgh Penguins a 1-0 lead.

Or so we thought.

After the Ottawa Senators opted to challenge the call, referees determined it was goaltender interference, negating the goal.

Here's a look:

Much like the controversy that overtook the Anaheim Ducks - Edmonton Oilers series in round two, the call - and lack of explanation - left hockey fans wondering what the rule actually is.

Oh good, a review of a play with absolutely no clear signal made on the ice, this should go well.

That probably should have been a goal. But there's not a precedent for goalie interference calls. Just all over the place.

No goal, maybe because Trevor Daley gave a second push to Anderson's skate as the rugby scrum developed

Goaltender interference is so unbelievably subjective.

Have your say, should it have counted?
