Caps fan. I’ve only been around since 07 though so I’m going to pick something that’s stuck with me since it happened.
'08 playoffs - Round 1 - Game 7.
2nd Period. Capitals netminder Huet gets interfered with by the Flyers forward after he hits the Caps Dman onto Huet, pushing the goalie out of the crease. Half a second layer the puck is in the net. Washington goes onto lose in 2OT.
That was my first experience of #capspain and it’s stuck with me ever since.
What about you? Buffalo fans, I think we know where this is going, same goes for Vegas fans (maybe?).
How and when did the officials hurt you?
As a Leafs fan, it was before my time, but Gretzky’s high stick on Gilmour back that went uncalled in – was it '93? – is supposedly a pivotal moment in that series.
In more recent memory, Holl’s interference penalty on a “pick” play in game 7 two years back would have tied the game in the third
It was pivotal. The Kings were on a power play in OT of game 6. Gretzky high sticked Gilmour and cut him, but there was no call. Gretzky should have been in the box for a double minor, but instead scored on that same power play forcing a game 7.
