Twitter, Predators burned by early whistle that called back good goal
The Nashville Predators thought they had a goal. But then they didn't.
Predators forward Colton Sissons was the victim of a no-goal after he banged a rebound past Pittsburgh Penguins netminder Matt Murray. Much to his chagrin, a quick whistle by the officials ruled the play dead, keeping the game scoreless.
Given that this season has seen many a minute wasted for second looks at offside calls, the social media world questioned why early whistles aren't subject to a similar review:
Non-reviewable, but offsides are. This stupid league.

But you can change a call because a skate blade was an inch off the ice at the blue line.

If that blown call costs Nashville the cup, there will be like 60 country songs written on the subject.

Kevin Pollock with a MAJOR faux pas there. And why do we have replay if we can't overturn that? But let's worry about toenails.

that's not reviewable, but an offside by a hair half an hour earlier can be

Fans booing profusely, but Pollock was screened by 2 guys and blew whistle. Shame that can't be reviewed on video

Ouch. That is a horribly quick whistle. And I have no idea why that went. Murray never had it for even half a second.

Good thing this isn’t an important game.
