In a critical moment of the 2024-25 NHL season, Kyle Palmieri of the New York Islanders scored what appeared to be a game-winning goal against the Columbus Blue Jackets with just 8.9 seconds left. However, the goal was disallowed due to contact with the goalie, a decision that angered Palmieri and the Islanders. As a result, the Islanders settled for a shootout loss, falling short in their pursuit of a playoff spot. The game extended their point streak but left the team frustrated with the league's officiating process.
I thought it was a goal. I thought it was the wrong call. I thought they got it wrong right off the bat and I thought they got it wrong after the review.
The controversial call keeps them out of the playoff spot that they have been scratching and clawing their way toward methodically over the past two weeks by just a single point.
The referee said there was contact initiated in the crease and I guess the goalie needs five minutes to get reset and ready for the shot.
It looked like he couldn't wait to wave it off.
