Trocheck was right before I see and I agree that could have been called for sure, though I don't think you see a ref call that against the team that's trailing in the final minute of many games, let alone playoff games.

Frustrating no doubt for Panthers fans, but I think that's just how officiating goes in those situations.

As for the goal, where the hell were all the Panthers? All on one side of the goal with Tavares alone.

That's the point though, it shouldn't be that way. Especially in a possibly deciding game.
