Panthers GM Tallon: Players 'pissed off' over lack of power plays

Florida Panthers general manager Dale Tallon offered his team's perspective on what led to a scuffle between the benches after the Vancouver Canucks' overtime winner Monday.

Daniel Sedin scored the winner while Jaromir Jagr was in the penalty box for hooking, and Tallon said the team is tired of calls not going their way in recent games.

Vancouver held a four to one power play advantage in the contest, and the Panthers didn't gain the man advantage once in their previous game against the Edmonton Oilers, despite Matt Hendricks' hit on Aaron Ekblad that was worthy of a three-game suspension.

For their part, the Canucks maintain the scrum ensued as a result of comments made by a Panthers player earlier in the game that demanded a response.

At any rate, the Panthers 12-game win streak came to an end, although they have now picked up at least a point in 13 straight.
