New York Islanders forward Kyle Palmieri shared his thoughts on the Islanders' potential game-winning goal getting disallowed due to goalie interference during Monday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets.

With less than 10 seconds remaining in the third period, the Islanders thought that they had secured victory, but the goal was nullified. The ruling came after it was determined that Palmieri had interfered with the Blue Jackets goaltender Elvis Merzlikins before redirecting a shot into the net.

The on-ice referees quickly overturned the goal, which the NHL upheld after review. Kyle Palmieri was visibly frustrated about the disallowed goal.

"I think it was f*****g embarrassing," he said post-game."

Bo Horvat also shared his reaction to the call:

"To be honest that's one of the worst no-goal calls I've ever seen."
