'It was an awful call. We all saw it. It’s too bad we ended up losing because of that.' The SJSharks capped a wild comeback with an OT Game 7 win over the GoldenKnights, but it wasn't without controversy:
It’s rare that a team gives up four goals on a single five-minute major, so the Golden Knights don’t avoid all blame for blowing such a commanding lead so late in the game. And the fact they forced overtime should soften the blow of the penalty call, although after they were eliminated, that cross-checking penalty was front of mind for the Vegas players.. “Did the right things, and this five-minute cost us the game, ultimately the series.
Marchessault went so far as to compare it to the missed pass interference call in the New Orleans Saints-Los Angeles Rams NFC championship game in the NFL this past season.— Adam Hill “They said that basically he cross-checked him across the face and we all saw that didn’t happen,” an irritated Gerard Gallant said after the game. “Last year we’re in the Stanley Cup Final and it was tough to lose. Tonight was tougher than that.
“I’m sure you’ve all seen it on TV, there was no intent. I feel awful Joe got hurt, he’s a class player for that team, everybody loves him. There was no intent. There was no high stick that hit him in the face. When Stastny came out they sort of got caught up and he fell and banged his head on the ice.Mostly light mood inHertl: "He's now better, for sure. I believe he'll be back soon.
The Sharks, meanwhile, became just the second team in NHL history to overcome a three-goal third-period deficit to win a Game 7, joining the Boston Bruins who did it to the Toronto Maple Leafs in 2013.
