The hockey analyst insinuated that the official in the Stars-Avs tilt may have had some action on the game.
The Dallas Stars took a 3-2 series lead into Friday night's Game 6, looking to put away the Colorado Avalanche on the road to advance to the Western Conference finals.
With the game tied 1-1 in overtime, it appeared that Stars forward Mason Marchment scored the winning goal. However, it was determined that teammate Matt Duchene interfered with Colorado goalie Alexandar Georgiev, and the goal was waved off. Mason Marchment appears to score the game and game-winning goal for the Stars against the Avalanche. But it's called off due to goalkeeper interference.It's safe to say that Turner Sports NHL analyst Paul Bissonnette disagreed with the call, as he insinuated that the official who made the call was betting on the game.
"In this sense, he like taps his stick," Bissonnette began. "And then it's clear that the bump from Makar is what throws everything off. So it's basically friendly fire in this case, where I think that for sure should have counted. Obviously, with the ref waving it off, they're probably going upstairs. They're saying, 'Well we've got to stick with the original call.
Dallas will play the winner of the series between Vancouver and Edmonton. The Canucks lead the series against the Oilers 3-2 heading into Saturday's Game 6.
