Officials may have been attentive during the dam session between the Montreal Canadiens and the Chicago Blackhawks by revising Frank Nazar too late.
The success of the young Hawks striker made the difference since he was the only marker of the shooting. Nazar knew that he had touched the target, the washer going to stay in the upper part of the net of Samuel Montembeault.

The referees were much less some since they went to the video recovery … After the attempt by Patrik Laine.
However, the regulation of the National Hockey League stipulates that “any potential goal requiring the video recovery must be reviewed before and/or during the next game stoppage. No goal can be granted (or refused) due to the video recovery once the game has left.”
This instruction is more vague with regard to the shooting. This is the observation made by Martin St-Louis, who would have liked to know a little earlier whether the goal was granted or not.
“I don’t really know these regulations,” said the CH head coach. I don’t know if it has already happened. I asked the arbitrator if that was, the settlement. If he scores, do I do something differently? Do I change my rotation, the guys who go there? ”
St -Louis confused in relation to the shooting –
Sportsnet journalist Ellipotte Friedman added context to the situation, he who was present in Toronto in the control center at the time of the facts. An employee of the National League confirmed to the head of the penalty bench that the goal was good, but the officials were not notified in time and gave authorization to wool to start.
To return to Nazar, he was indeed the only one to hold the truth.
“I knew from the start that the washer was for the goal. I didn’t want to celebrate too much since I was the first to start. I went to the bench to receive the congratulations from my teammates, but no one reacted. I didn’t understand what was going on. It was weird, ”he said in a press point.
