During tonight's Toronto Maple Leafs game, Tyler Bertuzzi was robbed of a goal after a controversial call.
Bertuzzi has had a rough season for the Leafs and this goal may have gotten him back on track. It is disappointing to see him lose this incredible opportunity.
Explanation:
Video review supported the Referee's call on the ice that Toronto's William Nylander impaired Connor Hellebuyck's ability to play his position in the crease. The decision was made in accordance with Rule 69.1 which states, in part, that "Goals should be disallowed only if: (1) an attacking player, either by his positioning or by contact, impairs the goalkeeper's ability to move freely within his crease or defend his goal.
