The officials robbed the San Jose Sharks of a goal in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series against the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday night.
The Sharks appeared to score during a delayed penalty against the Kings in the second period, but referee Brad Meier blew the play dead just prior to the goal, either due to losing sight of the puck, or presuming the L.A. gained possession.
During the ensuing stoppage, Meier admitted to Sharks head coach Pete DeBoer that the officiating crew made the wrong call.
