The Non Call

The puck was in the net before the whistle blew, don’t have a problem with that.

However if the officials new that Braun’s trip on Johnny Gaudreau would have resulted in a Sharks go ahead goal with just over three minutes to play they would have called a penalty. Referees hate deciding games, at least most of them do, so at that point they were likely more worried about the Flames turning the call into a powerplay goal than that of the Sharks marching down the ice and winning it.

Calculated risk and they lost. Happens.
Everything wrong with game management by NHL officials in a nutshell.
