from Kristen Anderson of the Calgary Herald,

Bill Peters was, understandably, fuming.

Not over the Calgary Flames’ 3-1 win over the Auston Matthews-less Toronto Maple Leafs at Scotiabank Arena, of course. We’ll get to details on the victory later.

But the issue at hand was the fact the head coach had seen the chain of events with 1:21 remaining in the third period differently than the National Hockey League on-ice officials did.

With Frederik Andersen on the bench and a full-court press by the Leafs, the entire building had thought that Morgan Reilly scored the game-tying goal on Mike Smith. Instead, the puck hit the outside of the mesh — clearly no goal and the play was live.

As such, Calgary retrieved the puck and were able to create a two-on-0, only to have the whistle blown signalling that the play was dead. Meanwhile, the entire building and the gathered Leafs on the ice were celebrating what they thought was a goal.

“They were getting hot there,” Peters said, sarcastically in his post-game media scrum referring to the officials. “They had a lot of momentum going, the refs.”

That wasn’t the only call that Peters wasn’t happy with.
