from Joe Haggerty of CSNNE,

The replays shown inside TD Garden looked inconclusive, but those watching the replays furnished to the officials on the ice indicated that it clearly showed Eriksson’s skate was lifted up and hovering on the blue line making it an easy call to overturn. It was still frustrating for a coach in Claude Julien that has seen more negative than positive come out of the unpredictable coach’s challenges this season, and for a team that could have won had the goal counted.

Whether it’s the long delays, the erratic nature of the final rulings or the dubiously small tablet screens that the referees use for their reviews, Julien has clearly soured on the coach’s challenge as it’s gone on this year.

“You guys keep asking coaches. We’re not all, I guess, a hundred percent on board with some of that stuff, but you’ve got to live with it,” said Julien. “You live with it, because we always compare it to other calls that we’ve had, whether it’s with other games and stuff like that. I guess we don’t always see consistency, but who are we?”
