Perhaps you saw Hockey Twitter’s version of the Zapruder film last night, when Anton Stralman’s backhand goal on Matt Murray was analyzed and dissected to the nth degree, as people tried to figure out if the puck actually went through Murray’s glove.
Today, Murray responded, slamming those conspiracy theories and the world wide web’s factual integrity in one fell swoop:
Murray on the speculation that a goal went through his glove: "I would say 'don't believe everything you see on the internet.'"

(Believe everything you see on PHT, though. We’re the truth.)
Murray’s remarks came just hours after the Penguins attempted to scuttle the hole-in-glove theory themselves, tweeting out an alternate replay angle that shows Stralman’s shot went off the tip of Murray’s catcher, not through it.
That and Murray’s remarks should put an end to the conversation.
You’d hope.
