Million Dollar Missing Puck

I'm not sure if any one of my followers have been following the case prior to this web site, but after Patrick Kane scored THIS goal http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdVn42-vOt8, and after the celebration of the team, and more importantly, of the fans, everyone wanted to know: WHO GOT THE GAME WINNING PUCK AND WHERE IS IT???? Patrick Kane, who people would think went back to claim it after all the hoopla, said he never received it.
There was speculation that Chris Pronger of the Philadelphia Flyers took it. After a couple of games earlier in the series, Pronger skated to where the puck was and took it with him off the ice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NxcVm1G7uY (fast forward to the 3:10 point) So people honestly thought that Pronger was up to no good again after game 6's loss. But Pronger claimed he didn't have the puck. People still are skeptical about believing him but there's no lead with him.
People were even saying Leighton took the puck out of anger so Kane couldn't get it. But once again, no proof of this.
After almost a year, people finally had a hint as to who has it. ESPN reported that NHL linesman Steve Miller, who reffed the game, took the puck out of the net during the celebration. Here's a video of the explanation. http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=6398708. Miller claimed he never touched the puck though. He was later interviewed about it by ESPN's Wayne Drehs:

WD: "If not you, then who has it? Who should I talk to?"

SM: "I honestly don't have a clue, Honestly, I don't know where it would be. It's a mystery. Who knows? [Leighton] could have shot it away right away. And I may not have even seen it. It looks like I'm looking down there."

WD: "Steve, It looks like you're looking right at it."

SM: "From the picture it does, yeah. But I can honestly say that I didn't … when we came off the ice there was all the director of officials and all that kind of stuff, and they asked where the puck was. They wanted to know right there. The Hockey Hall of Fame wanted it."

So from there it seems that we may never know where it will be. Miller has been deflecting away almost every question. In the mean time, the NHL defended their linesmen but had to bench him for a few games in the playoffs because, hey, he was accused of stealing a piece of NHL history and there would be too much focus on him if he continued reffing. 

A video was posted on the Flyers blog "Crossing Broad". Someone sat down and for hours, watched different videos of the game and the celebration and closely followed the track of the puck. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64wMuZCx5lk&feature=player_embedded. An excellent job. It tells us everything we need to know. The NHL has to make sure they crack down on where it is. Because the more attention that they get on this scandal, the less attention is paid to this years playoffs (which have been freaking great).
