The Vegas Golden Knights suffered a controversial 5-4 overtime loss to the Edmonton Oilers in Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals, putting them in a 2-0 series deficit. The game culminated in a disputed no-call by referee Gord Dwyer, where a potential penalty on Viktor Arvidsson was overlooked, leading to Leon Draisaitl's game-winning goal. Golden Knights players, including captain Mark Stone and coach Bruce Cassidy, expressed their frustrations about the missed call, emphasizing its implications for their strategy moving forward and the potential absence of Brayden McNabb in Game 3.
It's pretty clear it's a penalty. His stick is between McNabb's legs, and he sends him headfirst into the boards. It's a pretty clear-cut penalty in my eyes.
Listen, Gord's looking at it. He blew it. He missed the call. I don't know what else to say. It's a can-opener trip, it's a dangerous play, it's all those things.
The Golden Knights were concerned with what they saw and didn't see from referee Gord Dwyer just 17 seconds before Draisaitl's game-winning goal.
If McNabb were to miss Game 3, it would leave the Golden Knights without one of their most important players.
