Video- Did The Ref Miss This Trip Before Tavares Scored The Game-Tying Goal?

04/25/2016 at 7:46am EDT

from George Richards of the Miami Herald,

Nick Leddy brought the puck up ice with Nick Kulemin firing a shot that Luongo made the initial save on.

Luongo lost sight of the puck as he lay on the ice.

It was sitting behind him, all alone, and Tavares swooped in and swept it through.

Moments before, the Panthers had a good scoring chance into the empty net as Trocheck and Reilly Smith were both tripped up yet didn't draw penalties which in all likelihood would have ended things much, much sooner.

Should a tripping call have been made?

"Yeah, but it wasn't, so what do you do?,'' coach Gerard Gallant said when asked. "Obviously, you know, if they thought they would have scored on the other end they would have called it. It's a tough call, it's a fast game. It wasn't much but the game would have been over. It's tough to swallow.''

Below, watch what many think thought should have been a tripping call which turned into the Tavares game-tying goal.
