from Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com,

As Di Giusseppe came off the right boards and skated through the circle, Viktor Stalberg cut to the net from the end boards to create a screen in front of Ben Bishop. On his way through the crease, Stalberg appeared to clip Bishop’s stick just before the puck went through Bishop’s pads for the winning goal.

The play was reviewed by the officiating crew, but stood up to give the Hurricanes the extra point. Cooper was not happy the play was allowed to stand.

“It's called incidental contact,’’ Cooper said. “He kicks the stick between Bishop's legs, and the puck goes right there. He wasn't given a chance to make the save. He didn't. I'm blown away.’’

Cooper continued, “Once they make the call, there are no take bakes. But I’m just mystified. I don’t get it.’’
