Two hours later and I still cannot get over what I witnessed at the end of this game. How that goal was first not allowed and then not reversed on replay is just simply put a joke. In a crucial game, the Isles were robbed of a two point regulation win and instead got one point while a team they are fighting with was handed two. It is just unacceptable how these calls continue to happen to us and there is never any accountability from the league and refs. I completely agree with Roy, Palms and Horvat. If Toronto is not going to overturn a call on a play like this what is the point of Toronto and how would they ever overturn a call. Palms is absolutely right that the ref was so emphatic and excited about waving it off. The goalie initiated the contact by moving out of position out of the crease to shove Palmieri. If this is not a goal at this point I don't see how we can even have any players proving a net front presence in this league.
It is just disgraceful and times like this is what it is hard to be a sports fan because the refs want to be the stars of the show.
This incomprehensible decision easily could be the difference in making or missing the playoffs. The players and Roy have every right to be furious. And watch them get fined while the refs and league officials just go about their clueless incompetent lives.
And this has happened to us what, five times in the last month, easily costing us 3-4 points.
