Thornton has two goals taken away by the refs!

This of course leads to one major question:

What happens if Joe Thornton has four disallowed goals in a single game?

what would joe thornton do if he gets four goals in a game but they’re all waved off?

If Joe Thornton gets four goals waved off tonight the referee has to pull out his rooster.
