LAS VEGAS \u2014 No question, Ducks coach Joel Quenneville was furious about the blown icing call that resulted in the tiebreaking goal in their 3-1 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 1<\/a> of their second-round playoff series Monday.<\/p>\n

But he insisted on the eve of Game 2 on Wednesday that he wasn\u2019t in favor of adding more video reviews. It would be taking the human element out of the game.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a traditionalist,\u201d he said of the possibility of expanded video reviews.<\/p>\n

The NHL offers coaches the ability to challenge some rulings on the ice, including for offsides and, of course, interference with the goaltender\u2019s ability to make a save plus whether a shot has crossed the goal line entirely. Adding replays for icing or other judgment calls would be too much.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust get it right,\u201d Quenneville said. \u201cMove on. Either way it is, we\u2019ll move on.\u201d<\/p>\n

Quenneville disagreed with recent comments by Carolina Hurricanes coach Rod Brind\u2019Amour<\/a>, who suggested video reviews to sort out the biggest offenders in post-whistle scrums or to punish players for embellishment in order to draw a whistle should be added during the playoffs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got a lot of rules,\u201d Quenneville said.<\/p>\n

He also wasn\u2019t in favor of asking for public explanations by game or league officials about controversial calls or non-calls, such as the one in Game 1 that set up Ivan Barbashev\u2019s tiebreaking goal with less than five minutes to play.<\/p>\n

The NBA, NFL and MLB do issue statements, but the NHL doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t need that,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m a traditionalist. I\u2019m used to it. That\u2019s no problem.\u201d<\/p>\n

Barbashev shot the puck from behind the red line into the Ducks\u2019 zone, which prompted a linesman to raise his arm to signal an icing call was pending. Ducks defenseman Jackson LaCombe<\/a> beat Vegas center Jack Eichel to the puck, but a linesman then waved off the icing.<\/p>\n

As play continued, Barbashev slipped behind the flat-footed Ducks to score, breaking a 1-1 tie only moments after Mikael Granlund\u2019s tying goal. LaCombe later blamed himself for not playing at full speed, making a better clearing attempt while assuming the play would be ruled icing.<\/p>\n

CREW CHANGE<\/p>\n

The officiating crew of referees Jean Hebert and Trevor Hanson and linesmen Kiel Murchison and Bevan Mills, who worked Game 1, were replaced by referees Kelly Sutherland and TJ Luxmore and linesmen James Tobias and Devin Berg for Game 2, a customary move in the playoffs.<\/p>\n

SENNECKE HONORED<\/p>\n

Right wing Beckett Sennecke<\/a> said it was \u201cawesome\u201d to be voted as one of three finalists for the Calder Trophy as the NHL\u2019s top rookie for the 2025-26 season. \u201cI\u2019ve learned a ton this year on and off the ice,\u201d he added. \u201cI\u2019m super fortunate that they (the coaching staff) gave me the opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sennecke shared the rookie lead with New York Islanders defenseman Matthew Schaefer with 23 goals. Sennecke, Schaefer and Montreal Canadiens right wing Ivan Demidov were the three finalists in voting by members of the Professional Hockey Writers Association.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s long, he\u2019s wiry, he makes a lot of plays that you don\u2019t see very often,\u201d Quenneville said. \u201cSometimes they turn spectacular, sometimes, OK, it\u2019s not every day you want to try that in this league. There are some growing pains along the way, but the upside of his talent is tremendous.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LAS VEGAS \u2014 No question, Ducks coach Joel Quenneville was furious about the blown icing call that resulted…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":242722,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[163,824,165,164,404,9900,127,8614],"class_list":["post-303055","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-anaheim","tag-anaheim","tag-anaheim-ducks","tag-anaheim-headlines","tag-anaheim-news","tag-nhl","tag-nhl-playoffs","tag-sports","tag-vegas-golden-knights"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/303055","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=303055"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/303055\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/242722"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=303055"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=303055"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=303055"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
