When asked about the controversial disallowed goal for the Panthers, a sequence that sparked significant reactions, Verhaeghe simply mentioned this.
Based on what Verhaeghe mentioned afterward, it's clear he is really unhappy with how things turned out, especially since it would have been an extremely important goal for the Panthers.
He seems to believe that the NHL was «looking for a problem» and found a reason to disallow the Panthers' goal. He certainly gave arguments to those who disagree with the intense scrutiny of video replays.
His head coach, Paul Maurice, added the following.
The message to the league is clear, at any rate.
There's a palpable sense of panic in the Florida Panthers' camp, and that bodes well for Connor McDavid's crew as the Edmonton Oilers aim to lift the Stanley Cup in 7 games.
A date with history promises excitement!
Recall, of course, that last night the Oilers won 5-1 against the Panthers, live from Edmonton, to surprise everyone and tie the Stanley Cup final series 3-3.
