The drama of Game 1 between the Montreal Canadiens and Tampa Bay Lightning will continue off the ice.
After the Lightning walked away with a 2-1 win, photos arose showing the play leading up to Nikita Kucherov's overtime winner.
In his postgame press conference, Canadiens head coach Michel Therrien said an offside should have been called.

"It's really frustrating, losing a game on an offside. Those things aren't supposed to happen," Therrien said of the non-call. "To lose a game on an offside ... it's black or white, and it was clearly an offside."
The Canadiens host the Lightning in Game 2 on Sunday.
