NEW YORK — NHL commissioner Gary Bettman offered his unequivocal support Tuesday for the ruling that upheld the Anaheim Ducks<\/a>‘ overtime goal against the Edmonton Oilers<\/a> in Game 4 of their first-round playoff series.<\/p>\n

“It wasn’t a controversy, it was absolutely the right call,” Bettman said in a meeting with Associated Press Sports Editors at the NHL headquarters in New York City. “Because of the technology that we currently use and the cameras that we have inside the net, you could see it, knew for certain that it would be in and over the line.”<\/p>\n

Bettman’s response comes two days after Ryan Poehling<\/a>‘s goal was extensively reviewed to determine whether it fully crossed the goal line, before being allowed to stand in a 4-3 win. The Ducks lead 3-1 and have a chance to clinch the series in playing Game 5 at Edmonton on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

Though on-ice officials ruled Poehling scored, questions were raised as to whether there was enough visible evidence to show the puck crossing the line 2:29 into overtime.<\/p>\n
