Despite receiving eight power plays in Game 2, the Colorado Avalanche weren't happy with the officiating in their 5-2 loss to the Dallas Stars on Monday.

"I'm not going sit here and judge every single call that's being made. The call that I will talk about is their 4-2 goal," said captain Gabriel Landeskog, whose team is down 2-0 in the Western Conference semifinal series.

The goal in question was scored by Stars defenseman Esa Lindell at 19:14 of the second period. After a turnover, he skated in and fired the puck on Avalanche goalie Pavel Francouz. After a save, Lindell crashed the crease and whacked at a loose puck before celebrating. Referee Dan O'Rourke signaled that a goal had been scored, but the play was reviewed by the officials, as it was difficult to ascertain on replays whether the puck had completely crossed the goal line.

After further review, the call on the ice was not overturned, giving Dallas a critical goal at a critical time.

"Honestly, I think it was under the top of my pad. That was in front of the goal line the whole time. I don't know what the refs saw. It's a tough call," Francouz said.

Landeskog thought he knew what the refs saw: Lindell celebrating.

"I mean, Dan [O'Rourke] is behind the net on the other side. I don't know how he sees that the puck is across the line. I don't know how he points at the net. I think he realized pretty quickly that he messes up. Once he starts watching the video replay, I think he realizes that he went off of Esa Lindell's reaction and pointed to the net. You can't overturn it if there's no evidence," Landeskog said. "We haven't gotten an explanation. I'm excited to see what the explanation will be."
