Night of fortune for LA. Gift PP goal and not having that OT goal overturned was lucky as well. Could have and maybe should have been reversed.
Could - yes. Should - not really. There wasn't anything that clearly showed there was high-stick contact.
The Leafs CBC games have had Derek Lalonde (Detroit head coach; former ass't to Jon Cooper) on their intermission panels. Regarding inGame 1, and the Bolts' 5th goal that was upheld (which, was lame ... I still fail to see how the puck A) crossed the line, and B) if it did - the only way it crossed is if Perry pushed Samsonov's pad across the line with the puck), Lalonde made the perfect comment "In today's game, the league wants to keep goals on the board as much as possible". In reviews, it has to be completely conclusive to take a goal back.
I think the slash was a slash - the Kings player had his stick broken. There's lots of other calls to beef about, but the Kings have had the fortune to convert both of their OT PPs. Edmonton has trailed for a total of 7 minutes in the series - and are down 2-1.
I still think it's a 7-game series.
