Well they did kind of get robbed in game one of the SCF last season on that Subban goal called back on a replay for offside even though there was never conclusive evidence. That seemed to turn the tide in that game.
Quote:
Poile is anything but a controversial figure. He is an NHL lifer who is clearly uncomfortable rocking the boat. He watched the replay of the disallowed goal, he said, “at least 50 times.” And he still doesn’t understand the coach’s challenge offside call that disallowed a goal by P.K. Subban.
“This is where I’m going to get myself in trouble,” Poile said. “I have not seen a picture yet that is clear enough to show me that the goal was offside. I’ve seen all kinds of angles. I think it’s inconclusive. I have long been a proponent of getting it right, making certain we make the right calls. They’re going to say they got it right. I just don’t see it. It could be offside, it could be, but I don’t see it. And when it’s that close, I don’t how you can make a definitive call.”
