Red Wings Head Coach Calls Out The Leagues ''Brutal Officiating''
The Washington Capitals defeated the Detroit Red Wings on Monday night, 4-3 in overtime. The Capitals forward Nic Dowd shocked the Wings by scoring two goals in only 11 seconds after the Wings held a 2-0 lead in the second period.
What if, though, the referee was aware that the second goal was illegal? When it looked like the puck had hit the net over the boards, the play ought to have been stopped. The official even raised his whistle to his lips, but he froze, forgetting to blow his whistle which lead�to the�Capitals scoring�first before ending the play.

The Red Wings head coach Lalonde definitely made it be known that there was a major weakness in the NHL's system and they got hit with it, which is why the Capitals coaches, staff, goaltender, and even fans were absolutely distraught after seeing this.
I think even the ref knew it hit the netting, That's why he gave us as much time as he did. But it's inconclusive. It is what it is. It's frustrating because it went against us tonight, but the fact that our goalie is adamant it hit the netting, our guys are adamant it hit the netting but we don't get a feed from it? It's a broken system. It is what it is."
With McDavid recently calling out the NHL's rulebook, and now a head coach something needs to be done!
