VIDEO: This controversial shootout goal may be the weirdest you ever see

The Belleville Bulls scored one of the strangest goals you'll ever see.

During a shootout against the North Bay Battalion on Thursday night, Bulls center Adam Laishram appears to be denied by Battalion goaltender Jake Smith, temporarily sealing the victory for North Bay.

But then, the puck came back with so much backspin that it found its way into the net during the celebration.

Video review confirmed the goal, and Belleville eventually prevailed four rounds later.

The lesson here is clear: don't celebrate until the puck comes to a complete stop.
