The puck squeaked over the line and gave the Washington Capitals a 1-0 series lead over the Pittsburgh Penguins, but while the Capitals celebrated, Penguins goaltender Matt Murray thought the game should have continued.

"I don't know how the ref that called it a goal could have seen it from his angle," Murray told reporters after the game. "I think I had it."

It's too late now for Murray and the Penguins, as the difference in a hard-fought Game 1 was a matter of millimeters.

Game 2 goes Saturday night in Washington.
