In Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Second Round series between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Florida Panthers, Maple Leafs defenseman Morgan Rielly thought he scored the game-tying goal late in the second period. Rielly drove to the net and appeared to slide the puck under goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky's right pad with 2:49 left in the period. However, after a video review, the goal was disallowed. The NHL's Situation Room ruled that the play had been whistled dead prior to the puck crossing the goal line.
The decision to disallow Rielly's goal was met with boos from the crowd at Scotiabank Arena. Some fans even threw debris onto the ice in protest. The Maple Leafs were unable to tie the game in regulation and eventually lost in overtime. The loss eliminated the Maple Leafs from the playoffs.
The decision to disallow Rielly's goal was controversial, with many fans and pundits believing that the call was wrong. The NHL's Situation Room has been criticized in the past for making controversial calls, and this latest incident is sure to add to the debate about the role of video review in hockey.
