Controversial no goal call in Toronto leaves Leaf fans irate
Leafs Nation is absolutely livid following a 2nd period play from Morgan Rielly that everyone had originally thought went in the net under Sergei Bobrovsky's pad, only to be called no goal by the officials.
The wild part in all of this is that the puck was actually pulled out of net.
In the end, the officials gathered for several minutes to try to find conclusive evidence of the puck having crossed the line prior to the whistle. Due to the fact that the original call on the play was "no goal", the officials couldn't conclusively say that the puck had crossed the line under Bobrovsky's pad and therefore could not overturn the original call.
If the Leafs come up on the wrong side of this one, there's going to be a lot of talk about this one - especially because the puck can clearly be seen being fished out of the net. Many are of the thought process that this should have been ruled a continuation play, but the call has been made and there's nothing anyone can do about it now. Extremely unfortunate.
This is the 2nd consecutive year where the Leafs have had a goal disallowed in an elimination game.
