Jets' Maurice: Too many men penalty in OT was 'horsesh-t'

Winnipeg Jets head coach Paul Maurice didn't hold back when asked about the too many men call that led to Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin's game-winner in overtime Thursday.

"It was horseshit, so that would be hard to swallow," Maurice told reporters postgame.

The coach singled out one official in particular.

"I can't blame the referees on it because the linesman called it, which is important that he involved himself in the game at that point. I don't think it was too many men on the ice, I don't even think it was that close."

The Jets were penalized while making a line change with 2:39 remaining in overtime, and Ovechkin won the game one minute later.

Winnipeg erased a three-goal third-period deficit to tie the game on Marko Dano's first of the season midway through the frame.
