Mke Johnston On The No-Goal Call In Last Night's Pittsburgh/Vancouver Game

02/08/2015 at 9:37am EST

from Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review,

The Penguins (30-15-6) faced a 2-0 deficit at the time, and the goal would have given them a serious spark. Instead, Shawn Matthias and Zach Kassian scored later in the period to trigger the rout, which wraps up a 2-1 Western Canada trip.

Johnston explained that nothing was called or said on the ice. The only thing he heard or saw was a whistle and a referee with his arms up.

“There was no call made on the ice,” Johnston said. “There was just a wave of the arms. It wasn't a call that was waved off. The play was stopped because the net was off.

“They decided on the ice that it was no goal. Then they waited for Toronto. Toronto couldn't decide. That's the way the ruling went.

“When I watched it again ... boy, it's a goal for sure. I thought that was a key turning point in the game. Would have given us a lot of momentum at that time.”
