During the first round of the Stanley Cup finals, the Edmonton Oilers suffered a heartbreaking loss in overtime against the LA Kings in game 3. However, new evidence has surfaced indicating that the winning goal should not have been allowed due to a high stick from the Kings player. Even a Jets fan thinks so..
Following the controversial goal, Oilers coach Jay Woodcroft utilized his coach's challenge, leading to a five-minute review by the referees. The referees ultimately ruled that the puck did not make contact with the Kings player's stick, allowing the goal to stand.
A new camera angle has recently emerged, providing clear evidence that the puck did, in fact, touch the player's stick, which would have resulted in the goal being disallowed.
And now, Leon Draisaitl, Connor McDavid and Jay Woodcroft used their strong opinion to call out the NHL's awful officiating. The OT goal was not the only awful officiating done in this game, but on several other occasions as well.
