Golden Knights coach Bruce Cassidy calls out referee who missed tripping call in OT loss: ‘He blew it’

Seventeen seconds before Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl won match 2 for Edmonton Oilers in extension, Viktor Arvidsson stepped on the defenders of Vegas Golden Knights Brayden McNabb at the end boards. The game stopped with McNabb wounded, but no penalty was called.

When the game resumed, McDavid worked his magic with a beautiful configuration for Draisaitl, who scored to give Edmonton a 5-4 victory. After the loss, Golden Knights coach Bruce Cassidy called the referee Gord Dwyer by name when asked about the non -call.

“Listen, Gord looks,” said Cassidy. “He was blowing. He did the call. I don’t know what else to say. It’s a opening trip singing. It’s a dangerous move. It’s all this. Don’t call it, so you have to keep playing.”

After returning from a 4-2 deficit to force overtime, losing immediately after that lost call is a hard pill to swallow Vegas.

“You get lost this way,” said Cassidy.

In the play, Arvidsson got his stick between McNabb’s legs, as they headed for the boards to make a loose blow. Arvidsson also had his hand on McNabb’s back and seemed to spread his arm while McNabb lost his balance.

Golden Knights captain Mark Stone called him a “dirty game”. Like Cassidy, Stone said that this was a blatant note, and now the golden knights could be without one of their devoted proponents.

“Clear is a penalty,” said Stone. “His stick is between McNabb’s legs. He sends him to the Boards.

In addition to Rallying to tie the game in the third period, the Golden Knights also killed a penalty of five minutes in the extension after Nicolas Roy checked thirty Frederick in his mouth.

Vegas seemed to get some impulse from that slaughter, but instead, Edmonton took advantage of a lost call and headed home with a 2-0 series advantage.
