Pietrangelo on offside review: 'Maybe they need some glasses in Toronto'

Needing just a single point to punch their ticket to the playoffs, the St. Louis Blues came up just short against the Colorado Avalanche with a 5-2 defeat Saturday night.

The Avs' two empty-netters aside, it was a tight contest and one that could have been even tighter if not for what the Blues believe was a botched call on Colorado's second goal.

It appears the play may have been offside, as the puck seemingly came outside the blue line just before Tyson Barrie brought it back in. Barrie would later score on the sequence with a one-timer from the point.

The play was reviewed by the NHL's Situation Room in Toronto, and the goal was allowed to stand. The Blues would ultimately miss out on the final playoff spot in the West, so it should come as no surprise that captain Alex Pietrangelo was livid about the call postgame.

"I don't know what view they're looking at," Pietrangelo said, per FOX Sports Midwest. "Maybe they need some glasses in Toronto, because that was pretty disappointing.

"I could show you four different angles and it's half an inch offside, so I don't know what they're looking at. Maybe they're just guessing or maybe they don't want us to get in the playoffs."

Another look at the play in question and it seems Pietrangelo makes a valid point.
