from Ron Cook of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette,

I still like replay.

For many, it took another hit Sunday night during the Flyers-Penguins game. For the first time since it came to the NHL 28 years ago, there was a double coach’s challenge on the same play. I found it fascinating....

The Penguins lost, 2-1, when the Flyers’ Sean Couturier blew by Sidney Crosby and beat Matt Murray with a wrist shot with 3.4 seconds left in overtime. The Flyers had tied the score on a James van Riemsdyk goal with 18.8 seconds left in regulation....

But back to replay on its historic night.

It kept my interest, if only to see if it could save the game officials from themselves.

I am happy to report it did.

It worked the way replay is supposed to work — quickly and efficiently....

The play in question started early in the second period when the Flyers’ Claude Giroux appeared to score a goal through Murray’s legs. The officials huddled for a few seconds before ruling no goal, citing goaltender interference on Jakub Voracek. The big crowd at PPG Paints Arena loved it.

Flyers coach Scott Gordon immediately challenged the call.
