The Anaheim Ducks expressed frustration with the officiating in their recent game against the Florida Panthers, particularly over a disputed goal.

Anaheim Ducks Criticize Officiating After Controversial Call

In the closely contested Ducks-Panthers matchup, the Ducks believed they had scored a game-tying goal through a wraparound attempt. The play was contentious, with Panthers' goalie Sergei Bobrovsky managing to kick the puck out of the net in a last-ditch effort. The Ducks, convinced of the goal's legitimacy, took to Twitter to voice their dissatisfaction with the officiating decision.

"Officials determined this was not a goal. We still trail 2-1."

Anaheim's Head Coach Greg Cronin, in a post-game media interaction, hinted at his discontent with the officiating, suggesting that the replay spoke for itself.

"I think anyone that watched the replay can form their own opinion. I don't really know what to say."

NHL's Response to the Disallowed Goal

The NHL Public Relations department quickly addressed the incident, stating on their website and social media that the video evidence was not conclusive enough to confirm the puck had crossed the line. Hence, the on-ice call was upheld.

"There was no conclusive video evidence to show that Silfverberg's shot crossed the Florida goal line and thus, the call on the ice was upheld."

This situation highlights the significant role of on-ice decisions in hockey, especially given the high threshold required to overturn such calls through video review.
