"That's a clean goal" "NHL officiating is pathetic": Fans react as game-winning goal for Dallas Stars overturned due to goalie interference in OT

Game 6 of the Western Conference Second Round between the Dallas Stars ͏and Colorado Avalanche witnessed a controversial moment on Friday at Ball Arena. Mason Marchment appeared to secure the s͏eries-winning ͏goal in overti͏me, sendi͏ng fans into a frenzy.

However, their joy was short-lived as the goal was overturned on replay review due to goalie interference. With just 7 minutes and 29 seconds left in the first overtime, the Dallas Stars and Marchment believed they had clinched victory, only to see it slip away.

Elliotte Friedman, reporting on the situation, shared the official explanation from the Situation Room. Despite hopes for a different outcome, the call on the ice stood. The review concluded that Dallas' Matt Duchene had impaired Alexandar Georgiev's ability to defend his goal, following Rule 69.1.

Fans vented their disbelief and outrage, questioning the consistency of officiating in crucial moments:

"100%....NHL officiating is pathetic.....and they reviewed it no less"

Another fan also expressed his anger at the referees:

"That's a clean goal!! Refs are always against Dallas"

"Of course it should..league is an embarrassment" one fan said

"Dallas got screwed here ngl" another fan commented

"Stars got absolutely robbed. One of the worst calls I’ve ever seen" one fan reacted

"Ref not brave enough to make the call. Good goal" one fan chimed in
