A Carolina reporter has officially admitted that the officials made a mistake before the Hurricanes’ overtime game-winning goal against the Canadiens.
Cory Lavalette of The North State Journal publicly acknowledged the officials’ mistake during the sequence moments before the Hurricanes’ game-winning goal.
“Robinson got away with a trip during his shift. Centre Bell is not thrilled.”
An honest statement that shows even Carolina media members recognize the referee’s major mistake.
Félix Séguin and Patrick Lalime were also unanimous about the missed penalty by the officials in overtime
TVA Sports also shared the controversial sequence on social media.
“No penalty on this sequence.”
Félix Séguin and Patrick Lalime were unanimous on the TVA Sports broadcast during the live coverage.
And even in the middle of overtime, the officials have to call a penalty that blatant.
It is exactly the kind of decision that can change the outcome of a game this important.
If the officials had called that penalty, would the final score still be the same today?
