Controversy in Calgary

October 19, 2016

After Sean Monahan and the Calgary Flames scored the game-winning goal in overtime, head coach Dan Byslma was livid.

He was angry before the Flames even scored because Sean Monahan cross-checked Sam Reinhart into the boards and there was no penalty called. Seconds later, the game was over.

Here’s a look at the hit:

Officials have been known to put their whistles away in overtime and let the teams play, but this check is borderline and many believe it should have been a penalty.

So, we ask you:

Should there have been a penalty called on the hit in overtime?

I founded Buffalo Hockey Central in 2008 and have poured hours and hours into this site. Luckily, we have a great team of writers and designers who have helped keep this up and running despite a ton of out-of-pocket costs. We do this because we enjoy it, and we're desperate to see the Sabres win the Cup someday, but they have to make the playoffs first.
